Anyone know how busy BPB would be this Saturday? I'm guessing pretty busy given the time of year. Not got long so wouldn't bother if big queues/lines.

I'd say pretty busy. The Pleasure Beach always seems to have rides that aren't though. e.g. Sometimes there is a huge queue for the Wild Mouse but Grand National is empty! I'd just go and check it out, whenever I go I always get on loads!

Valhalla PBB - Refurb

Postby Michael1994 » Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:24 pm

Sorry I am new on here and didn't know if there was a topic about this.

Basically Valhalla is getting a new facade which may be white, some new internal scenes. Apparantley this was meant to happen last year but Nickelodeon Land set this back to this year.

Some photos of Valhalla's facade getting destroyed here. http://www.pleasurebeachexperience.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1404&start=90

^thank you for the news. I moved your post to our Blackpool Discussion Thread.

Now regarding the refurbishment, they better not screw it up.

I hope that whatever they decide to put in its place still has a cheesy but awesome look like the old facade. The ride to my knowledge is fairly new(for water rides), so this comes as a surprising move. Is there any word as to the extent of "some new internal scenes"? I can't imagine there were too many scenes to begin with, so are they going with an entirely new story, or will this be more along the lines of the Monster Mansion/Plantation makeover that occurred a couple years back? I've heard many great things about this ride, and it would be sad to see it ruined. However, given Blackpool's current reputation, I'm a little concerned.

Yikes! I hope they're being careful, it looks like they're just bulldozing it!

Valhalla's facade was falling to pieces in places and would lead to operational issues if it wasn't replaced.
