What's REALLY Going On at Blackpool Pleasure Beach?

[@eventpromotionservices4109]

I think you’ve nailed it with the work on River Caves due to the shared space. They probably can’t get to the bit they want to repair without taking out/closing other attractions temporary. The River Caves were there first then the others bolted on so that would make sense why nothing has happened so far. It obviously happened opening weekend whatever the fault was as I’m sure work would have happened during the winter otherwise and with ice blast and Grand Prix out the last thing they needed were more SBNO attractions.

[@coaster_dad]

Yup

[@coaster_dad]

Thank you so much 😊

What another awesome video from Blackpool pleasure beach 😊

[@coaster_dad]

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed 😀

The journey to hell thumbnail facial expression is just to funny 😂

[@coaster_dad]

😂 ironically that was me just walking away from the clown, not actually scared but it looked great 😉

[@Acarpet-o5h]

I literally have a screenshot of that I do wanna make a video called "coaster dad but with 0 context" eventually lol

Great to see the place busy. My daughter and I ARE going up this week... as mentioned in a few videos back, I was umming and areing cos of weather, but yeah, we're gonna be up there on Thursday. I'm not doing Journey To Hell, though. Thanks once again, Coaster Dad

[@coaster_dad]

Have a good trip 😀

[@DavidR.Anderson83]

@@coaster_dad cheers mate!

[@rebieroo99]

When did you go to the park, this week is half term break In leicestershire so could explain why there was some increase attendance this week. Towers today seemed to have every other group had some form of Leicester kit on at some points in the day.

[@coaster_dad]

It was last Saturday. So yeah I suspect it was the end of Scottish half term mixed with the start of the English one. 🙂

[@joshuadunn4294]

Thanks for this update mate 😊.

[@coaster_dad]

No probs 😀

[@chrisjohnsonadventures]

Great video mate love pb

[@coaster_dad]

Thank you

[@RoyForrester-u8m]

Another great video. I think the park has over stretched it's self and just doesn't have the finances to do everything. Its good to see it's busier but still quiet compared to it's heyday.

[@coaster_dad]

Yeah they are trying really hard, but as you say maybe they’re over stretching. 😔😔

[@Rickstar1966]

I hope they do fix the River Caves I love that ride ❤👊

[@coaster_dad]

Agreed. I have faith 🤞

[@stevensmith7460]

Not been in there for a few years now being a non rider but is that what they call busy nowadays on a school half term sunny day. Hmm.

[@coaster_dad]

Aye it’s “busy” compared to other days in the season. Not compared to the 80s/90s

[@nodtomc]

The red water dye at Nemesis was taken away due to environmental reasons, the red dye was leaking into the local groundwater. They might not be allowed to bring it back. The water in BPB might just be a closed water system with no risk involved

[@coaster_dad]

Yeah wasn’t sure if it was a closed system or just that it’s a lot easier nowadays (just chuck some ribena in the water 😂)

[@tiggerwood8899]

It's only red food dye. Harmless And no, they aren't on a closed system

[@mjwndave]

Went today and it was very busy again, scaffolding now full height on Ice Blast. Big Dipper was closed all day and Icon was down for a while too which meant Nick Streak and Grand National had a bit of a wait. Dora had water again though

[@coaster_dad]

Ride availability is so inconsistent at the moment. Fingers crossed they get it sorted soon 🤞

[@JDPalFruits]

A really nice gesture with the donation from your revenue. I watch a lot of your videos, so hopefully a few quid coming from my minutes watched :)

[@coaster_dad]

Thank you. Every little helps!…. Wait, that’s Tesco 🙈

[@seany84uk]

I went to the pb yesterday for the first time in several years and i was suprised how many rides were closed. The halloween street entertainment was good near the ghost train but the rest of the park felt lacking in a good vibe. Grand national needs major work as it felt it was crashing and slamming into the track around the whole circuit. It has to be the trains are too heavy or near the end of their life? We need streak/dipper style trains back too as i forgot how much your squashed in lol i cant see myself going back for a few years until major changes are addressed across the park. A new ride will only put a bandage over things.

[@coaster_dad]

It does need a lot of TLC for sure.

[@seany84uk]

@@coaster_dad yep! Its sad to see as i used to love the park but they must be struggling financially or have the wrong managment running the place in the last 10 years or so.

[@MattMatters54321]

I laughed a bit at the wallace and gromit bit cause i can just imagine your going through a tunnel or maze whatever it was on a halloween event and all you can hear when you go through is," CHEESE! WE'LL GO SOMEWHERE WHERE THERES CHEESE! HO HO! GOOD JOB I GREASED THE BEARINGS. UH DID YOU CHECK THE BRAKES LAD?" would be pretty scary

[@coaster_dad]

😂😂😂

[@HavenMaster123]

Hope River Caves gets fixed for 2025 and grand Prix is getting properly demolished during the winter break 👍

[@coaster_dad]

Yup

[@ScotboxUK]

How (as in the Scots vernacular) does it take sooo long to build a coaster?

[@coaster_dad]

To be fair “building” it is around 1 year if you look at Hyperia. But planning and ground work you can add at least one more. And the question is have they started planning or are they still deciding?

[@frederickjames5693]

Sorry to say nope they won’t be able to fix as been leaking far too long from above dome building

[@coaster_dad]

As in you’ve heard it’s irreparable?

[@Foxstar1387]

The retrack has improved it in places but then moved the problems to other places. One thing that is a near not ever gonna happen is maybe some new train chassis. as 30 years has not been kind to them by the sea. And that could solve some issues but only a slight improvment.

[@coaster_dad]

Yeah I’d be curious to see the impact of newer trains. After all from what I’ve heard the previous trains on Grand National were far more comfortable than the current bone shakers 🙈

[@Foxstar1387]

@coaster_dad the prior trains on Nash where better. Not having the divider in the seats gave more room. New trains on bigone would be interesting mostly with who would build them and if they would be basic like the arrow ones or have more modern wheel assembly's

[@davidGPS95]

Hi , Will you be doing a video on the latest news regarding Blackpool pleasure beach Non Rider season pass £50 ? My option is it's still too much money unless your going to the park regularly, but if your in holiday in Blackpool and you want to go to the park your not gonna pay £50 for non rider when you can pay the same price for a normal ticket , to me AT is just getting £50 😮 when she should have just went back to £10 for every visit instead of Annual pass .

[@coaster_dad]

I am considering doing one. There’s a few things to talk about recently. If so it may be out tomorrow….

[@davidGPS95]

@coaster_dad Great look forward to it 👍

[@GarryWilliams555]

Weirdly, I found the big one way rougher in 2022 after retracking than it was in 2019

[@coaster_dad]

Yeah I’m not sure it did what they wanted.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

13:36 - Park is on it's last legs it seems. Why was The Nash not running? Also the retrack on the Big One has been a complete disaster! It is far more brutal now than when they started.

[@coaster_dad]

They were working on the chain on the lift hill. Although it’s back open now 🙂

[@craigcoopertowers]

lack of avalability has been the story of blackpool this year from what i have seen

[@coaster_dad]

Yeah it’s been a tough one for sure 😔

[@EVERYDAYGames00]

You must own shares in BPB by now you are always there 😂

[@coaster_dad]

lol, not sure they’d be worth much. I’m there a lot a) cause I’m nosey to see what’s going on b) it’s the easiest park for me to get to from Scotland 😉

[@TheFirstDrop1]

Do you know this video isn’t public mate? Got here because you linked it at the end of the Halloween one

I don’t think it will. But you are able to go to the ticket office once you’re in the park and request a paper ticket.

Security guard iin th ecar park behind bowladrom confirmed to me last week its coming down. He said they have a 2 year plan for it. So god knows

[@davidGPS95]

Hi Coaster dad , Blackpool pleasure beach non rider pass £50 is pointless It's ok for people who live in Blackpool who might want to walk round the pleasure beach but for tourists who might only visit once a year £50 to walk round a park 😮 no chance And it gets worse you only have 2 days to buy the pass as it's limited , more madness from Blackpool pleasure beach Bad management 🙄

[@coaster_dad]

Yup, I have a video out about it in the morning

[@xsm5525]

lol. She tells me not to put her in the videos then she does that 😂
