Maturing is realising pleasure beach is class, especially with mates. All the coasters are top for the tiny space the park has, infusion is overhated and Valhalla is different stuff great theming, great ride and drenched for the rest of the day.

[@jackfrancom1999]

And icon is quality, the smoothest coaster in the country imo.

[@jerryrivera7704]

The best part of it was hearing the the death screams of Valhalla..

[@melissalovesmakeup]

Was my fave ride as a child! Used to give me goosebumps! Would love to go on it again one day

[@yourexperienceguide]

It’s not as good as it was but if everything is working it can still be very good

[@crack_cat]

I onestly love this new version it gives me goosebumps everytime i go on it and the drops that surprised me on my first ride scared me and my family cause we thought ot was like the old one but i love this one and cant wait to go on the 19th of july

[@g0thicuk]

It definitely felt like a lot of changes were made to cut back on opersting costs (removal of a turn table, wind effects, ice room, lightning and a lot of the fire) BUT it feels a lot wetter, it does what its supposed to, i just miss the part where you look out of the cave

[@FannyLerouxTime]

The idea of a POV is that youre a rider, from that Point Of View. Valhalla (some would say thankfully) has no reverse seats where you follow the adventures of the riders, rather than the ride itself.

[@yourexperienceguide]

On a channel with over 20 million views you can be assured we know what a POV is 😉 BPB didn’t allow on ride POVs so rider cams were the next best thing.

[@lucasthom3249]

Going back Friday went on It during tech rehearsal love the audio on the turntable it's like it's saying ok relaxing lazy river ride is over now here comes the thrilling water ride part

[@yourexperienceguide]

The story led audio does make a lot of sense to have

[@R0si313]

It was so fun like omgg

[@catherineclark4484]

Great vlog

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks

[@pgbaines65]

The biggest problem with this ride is it is too wet and they have not come up with a good solution for getting water out of the boats. In the cold weather nobody is going to want to ride this. 😳🤠

[@yourexperienceguide]

Boat drainage is still a big issue

[@pgbaines65]

@@yourexperienceguide Thanks for your reply I wanted to know if you made a drain hole at the rear of the boats above the water line and put a sloping floor under the back seat up to the hole. Would this make the boats self-draining as they go up the lift hill?

[@stungrenade3916]

Yeah I thought after closing for over 3 years they would have figured out how to prevent the boats being flooded.....

[@irrumnaaz]

Is it true that Valhalla no longer goes backwards when it stops at the top? That was the best part!

[@Andy5634]

Yeah its true mate was a great part of the ride that tbh

[@yourexperienceguide]

Backwards drop has been changed, it’s now a forwards drop.

[@masterknife8423]

Each to their own. Wasn't anything special imo

[@jamesriley6843]

Ye:(well sad me

[@GeometryDashEdits]

I'm so sad I went to Blackpool pleasure Beach but valhalla was closed

[@AnonymousSuperTuber]

Can't beat the old design for me. Removing the backwards drop was a big mistake. Pc gone mad once again. Great to see Mike with a smile on his face though, top man.

[@danmorley6517]

Haha what has the former backwards drop on Valhalla got to do with political correctness?

[@AnonymousSuperTuber]

@@danmorley6517 probably got rid because people weren't happy with the danger of it

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was removed to stop the constant technical issues

[@danmorley6517]

@@yourexperienceguide I spent a good 24 hours contemplating life, searching my soul to find a reason, just a tiny little bit of truth in the idea it was something to do with political correctness.

[@sbrocksman]

​@@AnonymousSuperTuber Even if it were removed because of "the danger of it", that's not political correctness. What company wants to risk being sued by operating something potentially dangerous?

[@HarryYT22]

I remember going on this ride the first time before it was shut and refurbed. I remember being terrified of the darkness and the drops but actually I realise now that’s part of the fun. I’m actually going to give this another go when I visit the pleasure beach in June. I wonder how steep the drops are? :)

[@yourexperienceguide]

Enjoy 🔥

Thank you for watching and commenting

[@jamillahabbas8437]

Cool Video! How many drops are there? And do you think can someone with controlled HB pressure can go on this ride, considering the drops it has? Really appreciate your advice

[@Ceej_MM]

I'll give this six months till the new effects start breaking and they never fix them, in the classic and time-honoured Pleasure Beach tradition.

[@yourexperienceguide]

In all honesty it hasn’t been reliable at all so far

[@LaurenceGough]

Merlin are the same...

[@chrisogrady28]

I rode on the last operating weekend of the season (end of nov) just before park close, it was a wall on and I swear EVERYTHING worked perfectly, there was a lot more fire than in this vid it was an incredible experience, but I know I just got very lucky. It was perfect also as I was taking my new partner to my childhood park and wanted him to be impressed and it delivered, the whole park did, apart from big one already being closed for retracking, suprised they couldn't wait until the end of the season

[@Weirdo-xd2qz]

Ive been on this like 5 times 5/5 rating its one of the best rides ive been on!🎉😊

[@deanclatworthy8505]

Thought I was about to watch a remake of Titanic at 0.34 . Not taking the mick, I’m a big lad myself 😂😂😂 Another great vid. Fairly new to the channel and find you guys hilarious! Very informative but also very funny!!

The leaning boat of Valhalla 💦

[@darrenward5978]

Im going on Valhalla when I go there in a week and 5 days

[@snakeplisskin8151]

Kept having technical issues on the 18th never opened till after 2pm and just barely got on it after waiting an hour cause of the issues. Was still great but obviously still not fully fixed.

[@yourexperienceguide]

They’ve definitely not taken the unreliability issues out of it

[@nancyw8866]

What is the average wait time like? And how steep is the big drop (psyching myself up for when we go over next week). Do you think if my kid wore a noise cancelling headset that they would stay on?

[@yourexperienceguide]

Depends how long the queue is at the time

[@Eso20213]

There's one decent sized drop and a few small ones I don't think they'd fall off but it depends on what you want to do about it. You'd be able to hold onto them perfectly fine. About queue times it depends on time of day but it always stays around 60 mins but it's very much worth it

[@peterclegg4786]

Today it went from a 45 minute wait to a 75 minute wait around 3:30pm. But absolutely worth the wait to experience it.

[@valedosjogos150]

Planning on going to blackpool this week, any advices of which rides to go first and which to go last cuz i've been wanting to since September 202

[@peedlejaydle]

You waited 1,821 years, long time 😊

[@6cam953]

Although tempting to go straight on icon. I’d say save it for after you’ve done the other coasters u want to first. Maybe start w infusion to get it out the way n tango ice blast gets u goin

[@timduncan9745]

@@peedlejaydle ha ha ha

[@yourexperienceguide]

Ride in this order; Avalanche, Nickelodeon Streak, Revolution, Steeplechase, Skyforce and then work your way around in any order from there

[@BeinZilex]

On the first drop i feel like they could add some models and designs on the walls also with a few lights so you can actually see them, the darkness of the tunnels is good in my opinion Although you will be going tjat fast you wont have time to see the models

[@chrispike7249]

Great onboard pov there Scott & Mike 👍

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Chris, shame it was too dark to show anything else

[@aimmredude250]

I never saw any drops do they still have the big massive one near the start or has that been taken away??

[@yourexperienceguide]

All drops are still there

No, not enough lighting to show anything of it in the video

@pleasurebeachexperience. sorry, I worked on this when it first opened I know it in my dream, the arrows came too quick. Don't want to tell u what I know about the water ugh

[@richardwilliams2794]

the pleasure beach 80s 90s was amazing just brilliant now its just dull! the magic and the sparkle gone,,, before it was packed with rides and endless fun now it cost so much and you cant pay with cash its hard to fill a full day in there it all went to the wall when the log drop was scrapped and they tried to compete with other coaster parks they had the big one)) now the rough one! and wooden coasters are just back breakers! I will never return there I might have for Valhalla but watching your vlog it just looks like a ride is based on the back streets of Blackpool on a rainy day in the dark! your money much better spent at Alton Towers I enjoy watching your channel for the glory days

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you for watching and commenting

Needs the effects to be working more consistently to make the absolute drenching you get worthwhile...

[@danielledewitt1]

No you didn’t, you got airtime which is normal.

[@moopmoop345]

We went on this a few months ago and I literally couldn't believe that they offered nowhere at all to put your bags when it's such a wet ride. Moronic operations, I hope this has changed. It was ok apart from that.

[@yourexperienceguide]

It’s always been like this, it’s the same on most water rides

[@moopmoop345]

@@yourexperienceguide ah well that's ok then, why apply logic if that's how it's always been.

[@yourexperienceguide]

@@moopmoop345 Not saying it’s correct, just saying it’s always been like this. They do have lockers a 5 minute walk away from Valhalla.

[@moopmoop345]

I didn't see the lockers, I'll make sure to use them next time. To be honest I went on completely unaware what sort of ride it was and found out the hard way that it was a drencher. There are obviously indications around like the ponchos and the drying machines but it's one of the wettest rides I've been on recently so I was surprised!

@@yourexperienceguide thanks for informing me. But I would imagine that a turning track would maybe have more technical issues than dropping backwards?

Man i miss just taking a psychdelic and go on the rides until our stupid government banned all things 😢

[@Paul_UK]

Pleasure Beach has destroyed Valhalla. The ride looks very different now to how you’re showing it on media day. You’re glossing over the many problems that exist with the ride - be honest with your viewers.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Media day was 14 days ago Paul, and this video was filmed on media day. The ride is as unreliable as ever, but we got one shot at filming in there and this is what came of it.

[@masterknife8423]

Problems that probably can't be solved. It broke down constantly today even though I managed to get on it

[@Eso20213]

​@@masterknife8423 yeah I was on one that broke down Saturday very first ride too we broke down before the second smaller drop had to climb out

[@groomys67]

Worst bit of video footage I think I have ever seen. Surely when you were editing it you could see it was worthless in terms of viewers sharing the experience. As it stands, I could do that by opening the cupboard door under the stairs, climbing in and closing the door.
