    Rank the Blackpool Pleasure Beach coasters

    Who else here is old enough to remember the National at its best? It was even better than the Mouse and must have had miles more airtime than any other coaster in the UK. Don't forget that they've changed the restraints too. You had just one lap-bar between two people before. You spent most of...

    I think "travel" in the context people say this refers to international travel, so it isn't bull**** to say that. Only 42% of Americans have passports compared to 83% of Britons, and the figure was as low as 10% just 20 years ago. Between 60% and 70% of Australians have passports - in a place...

    Mick ****ing Hucknall's Goodmen rip-off. The video is the Big One, possibly with his filthy ginger mop wobbling around. There was some boy band video done at the Pleas a few years ago, and obviously Yvette Fielding from Blue Peter shrieking her nut off on the Revolution. BBC series...

    Most impressive No Limits 2 coaster out there?

    i just watched it and thought "Half of those effects will be broken within 6 months." What a cynic!

    The Steeplechase because it's novel right? Because as a ride, it's toilet.

    What makes a favorite coaster for you?

    I don't really care about inversions or sideways forces. I'm with @Matt N on this (you are spot on about the National too by the way). I like airtime. I love the feeling of my stomach in my throat. A quality that doesn't get mentioned that much on the forum that I rate is suspense. One thing I...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    My Icon review. I went home last weekend, which allowed me to indulge in decent chips on Harrowside Hill, decent ice cream at Notorianni's, and a decent new ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach - or as some bizarrely pointless rebranding would have it - Pleasure Beach, Blackpool. They must have...
