[Slowpoke]

Isn't that beach like full of little kids and stuff?

No, it's one of the best, busiest and oldest theme parks in the world and holds the tallest, fastest roller coaster in Europe.

[jackass]

It is pretty chavvy though.

Last time I went, everyone was a chav. :P

Still excellent though!

I think everything you said there was rubbish!

it isn't the busiest, isn't the oldest and certainly not one of the best theme parks in the world and it doesn't hold the tallest or fastest roller coaster in Europe!

Who cares? A theme park is a theme park

[brandon]

I love the Pepsi Max.

[awelsh]

I love the Pepsi Max.

agreed

[Mint]

Is the big one really the biggest and fastest in Europe? :O
When I go on it I know where the camera is so I always do some funny face and go look at the picture, then I would go on again to try and do a better one. Yes I am sad. :)

[Technologic]

not been to blackpool for time

[PaintYourTarget]

Isn't that beach like full of little kids and stuff?
If that's the case then yes! Yes I will!

Its one of the oldest theme parks in the UK starting in 1896, and its definitly the most popular in terms of guests. For 2007 it was 14th most visited theme park in the world, and the only theme park from the UK in the Top 25. It beat Alton Towers by about 3 million visitors. In 2006 it had the same amount of visitors as Universal Studios. It doesn't quite have many records, but it has tallest rollercoaster in the UK. So not everything he said their was complete rubbish, it was either fact or misconstrued facts.

And the bit I bolded is really matter of opinion, rather than complete rubbish.

On a completley unrelated note to the above, I love Pleasure Beach, Blackpool. It certainly outdoes a lot of theme parks in the U.K and has plenty of rollercoasters. Innit.

[Purple]

The Pepsi Max makes people sick.

(I know this because it's on roller coaster tycoon :P)

Yes but he was comparing them to Europe. Also there is no way that Blackpool P.B can be compared to other global themeparks on the ride scale. Visitor wise, blackpool is controversial.... it's like saying that the Natural History Museum was the most visited attraction in the world last year, because there were so many millions of visitors that went to London last year. Blackpool might have plenty of people on the pier or whatever it is, but alot less are paying to go on rides. Also, I wouldn't neccessarily say it outlines most parks in the UK, based on the fact that it is more like a fun fair than a theme park.

[womanizer]

im goin cya there.

[VPSwow]

I went a month ago for a weekend trip. It rained so i wasnt happy but still had a good time :).

Have a good time guys.

[ebay]

I have never been to an English theme park. USA has got to be called the best country for theme parks and the weather kind of helps.

[Pazza]

I really can't believe people are so hyped up about going to blackpool. Most of it is a total **** heap, take it from me - I LIVE THERE!

But, Pleasure beach is okay, as long as you love rides. Although I think it's too expensive, crap weather and too many queues.

Better to go on weekends other than holidays :)

(If u lyk swimming get a tram and go down to the sandcastle :) )

The numbers are based on how many people visit Pleasure Beach Blackpool - THE THEME PARK. Not Blackpool itself. Just like the Natural History Museum bases it's figures on admissions, not how many people that visit London. So yeah, its based on admission prices to the theme park, not Blackpool, the pier, or attractions surrounding the theme park itself. Admission numbers to the pleasure beach don't include going on the ferris wheel on the pier... and saying its more like a fun fair, well, I would just like to know what type of fun fairs you go to!

I really am sure that some people in this thread don't actually understand what Pleasure Beach, Blackpool is....it isn't a beach, it doesn't include the piers, or the casinos, its just an attraction in Blackpool, a theme park in Blackpool.

OMG IT WAS AMAZING
literally aha :P

because it was raining pretty much everywhere in northwest i think hardly anyone went
i went on pretty much every rollercoaster + ride like 2/3 times
apart from infusion and valhalla, just once for them.

Weather was okay/amazing after 10 at different points, and it started raining at 5 and i left at 6 so it didnt really matter.

OMG LOL

omg its not in the pleasurebeach but its when you're leaving it
OH MY GOD LOL
its scariest thing ive ever been on, i litreally was shaking,
i was at the back too!!! :(!!! LOL

the actors are so talented, loved it.
i like blackpool alot now, especially the fact that apart from valhalla which broke down, no rides broke down on us [big one did, but only for inspection WHILST WE WERE GOING UP LOL, and all these people are shouting to us "YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"
and i was like "NAH DONT THINK SO" and we were stuck halfway up

The passage is amazing. Although, when you go into the room with the woman in the chair, and it jumps up, it was predictable cos she was chewing gum.

And when your walking over the bridge, you hear the chain saw then the light flashes on Jason.

That, is pretty good.

OMG
THAT WOMAN WAS SO NOT PREDICTABLE
I WASNT LOOKING AT HER CHEWING, I WAS LOOKING AT THE PERSON INFRONT GOING "F'ING MOVE!!! ARGHHHHHHH"
and then she was chasing me and i was like NOOOOO ARRRGGGHHHHHHhh
omg it was really scary :(!

[Mint]

The Pepsi Max kept breaking down so everyone in the que room had to keep leaving, we saw it was working first so got about 3 goes on it before the ques started to gain again.

We qued ages for the Vanhalla and it broke down at the bit where it turns to go backwards so we had to walk behind the scenes back to the entrance but then got another go. :P

And on the Infusion my head was banging side to side and I havn't even got a small head lol.

And the passage of terror! OMG!! I went through that and was cekin my pants lol. It changes very often to stop it from getting boring for people who have already been on it but I had the one with the excorcist girl and hell riser chasing us. Also at the end it was the chainsaw masacre who scares you as you run out into a pub and everyone laughs at you cos your screaming lol.

[Mitch4?]

suprisngly, because of the short queues, it's probably my favourite of all of them
it just needs better themeing tbh (H)

(If u lyk swimming get a tram and go down to the sandcastle :) )

i totally agree with that, and ye i live in blackpool too.
although i think the sandcastle is a bit rubbish and blackpool trams are well overpriced :P

i just hope they don't put the £5 admission charge on the pleasure beach cos give it a few months and it'll end up in the same state as southport pleasureland.
