VALHALLA - POV - Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Intamin - Flume Ride / Dark Ride

[@XtremeCoasters]

A lot of people don't appreciate just how much BPB managed to cram into such a small space. Valhalla is pretty amazing when you actually look at what they've managed to squeeze into that building.

[@sam9708]

It’s the best designed theme park in Britain and the best I have been to. Even the ghost train feels big yet doesn’t look it.

I’m sure there was a similar ride at Epcot in the Norway country can’t remember the name but this looks as good if not better. Until you get outside of course & realise where you are!

[@chloereid0x1]

This ride has been and always will be the best water ride anywhere. The soundtrack, the theme, the effects, everthing is visually stunning. I will admit the effects can be very unreliable and that goes for the ride too but it is going to be considering the amount of money that it costs to run and update it. For people complaining about how soaked you get, well it's a water ride for starters what were you expecting and the fact that it warns you that you'll get drenched. The only complaint I can understand about this ride is that before it even starts the boats are filled with quite a bit of water which causes your feet to become soggy and wet all the way through. Upon saying that the boats constantly move and so there isn't really any time to drain the water out. They try there best but you got to give them credit for managing that ride when its heaving in summer

[@mrn234]

probably one of the reasons they do a make over. When you "fixing" stuff for years but never go down to the core of the problem it costs more over time.

I worked on Valhalla for 2 years from opening day. Day 1. It just kept breaking down, 30 times or more. We had to evacuate the ride every time.

I refuse to believe Blackpool cannot afford to keep this masterpiece in tip top condition like it deserves charging families £5 each person for just having a walk around.

It costs almost a million pounds to run per season

[@ewilliams370]

Yep , north of a hundred grand a month to run it. Aswell as the re-imagining that's taking place I would of thought they are using this opportunity to bring running costs down too. You seem pissed at the entry charge just to walk round? And it's a tenner now by the way! Lol! There's the maze and you get the Ice Show. I completely agree with the charge. Can you imagine the pleasure beach in this day and age being a free for all. All the feral youths , junkies , alcoholics and scumbags being allowed to roam and hang around all day!!?? No! Sorry the pleasure beach is a far better safer place with the wristband and entry charge.

[@tiggerwood8899]

£49, to get in now, even if you only want to walk around.

[@alexanderscottrell8627]

You can get tickets for cheaper. If you want to get in, you gotta pay. How many other attractions let you in free?

[@richardadkin7226]

Reason is, it isn't paying for itself like it did when the park was free entry. The rides all payed for themselves far more in terms of heavy footfall. If the park went back to tickets and had a much greater increased wristband option, it would thrive on both sides of the coin. By shortening the opening hours and minimising your footfall by enforcing entry fee via wristband, it has in effect cut their takings by massive amount. Each ride used to have far more throughput and volume of custom.
