Blackpool Pleasure Beach Off Season Update!

Postby SharkTums » Mon Jan 29, 2007 11:41 am

Hey Everyone!

Even though Robb is off working hard on his day job, he had a bit of free time over the weekend to check out the Winter Happenings around some UK Parks. Our own CoasterLou kept him company (and was mainly in it for the food!) but she had a good time molesting the Vekoma Track too!

This update features some up close and personal shots of Vekoma Track, supports, and a muddy area where Infusion is starting to be put up. It also features a great 'off season park tour' where you can see what's being done to some of the parks signature rides. And of course, the crazy antics of Robb and Lou!

Check it out here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/bpb2007/blackpool1.htm

Here are some teaser photos!

It's a sea of footers, mud, and Vekomaness!

Jahan, return that piece of Arrow Track ASAP!!!

It's like a really, really bad nightmare!

Thanks again to Blackpool Pleasure Beach for letting us get a sneak peak for the new season!

We'll be posting updates of some other UK Parks soon!

Excellent update!

It sure is weird seeing the park deserted like that, but a very cool thing to experience I'm sure. It appears that BPB are really putting a lot of work into getting the place looking nice for the 2007 season. I'm just wondering how likely it is that the Big Dipper and Big One will be open for the February weekends.

Thanks again for the update!

Awesome update. I really enjoyed all the random ride parts everywhere. I'm also extremely jealous about Robb and Lou going to Wagamama. I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE Wagamama. I can't wait till the one in Boston opens this year. Yaki Soba...mmmmmmmmmm :lover:

GRRR!!! Stupid chest infection!

Glad you had a good time out there, it looked a bit on the chilly side! And there should be more Wagamama on TPR in future.

When Robb wears his glasses, he looks like the olden "Fatty Patch Jacket Robb".

From the BPB Web site:

A brand new steel beast is growing day by day at Pleasure


Best tagline ever!

The name "Infusion" is starting to grow on me a bit, but with all those water effects, why not "Expectoration" or "Ejaculation"?

Awesome updates guys! It does look creepy with the park being deserted like that. It's nice to see Blackpool getting things set for the season. I like off season pictures a lot. But it makes me want to ride even more! Thanks for the updates!

You can tell Blackpool that if they ever want to see their track peices back, they'll have to send Lou over to negotiate. ;) :devil:




Ok, that was creepy. I'm done. Great update Robb! Glad to see you were able to get out, there!
