I worked at the Pleasure Beach in the 94 season at the North entrance catering 'hot/cold units'. We were ****ing rammed and smashed sales records. It was just comparatively quiet compared to the South Park, queues for the BIg One actually going well out of the Ples in the early weeks...

Mandy says peace garden won't be peaceful but is happening. She Twittered about it.

Also very Blackpool. A saucy postcard double entendre for anyone wanting one.

RIP MES.

Not a huge one of course. But you'd want a bit of the butterflies even on a family coaster I think. Or I wouldn't really understand why you'd have a blank canvas and decide to leave it out as an element.

Looks beautiful but doesn't appear to have a single decent drop on it.

To some extent, I was implying that the reply I got was analogous to the old-school Ryanair mindset. Also, in the light in the change of tone of Ryanair's PR in the past couple of years due to the brand damage their previous "all publicity is good publicity" approach ultimately did, my use of it...

I have been on this too (I live in Madrid these days), and they managed to get the trains out very quickly. I queued for just 10 minutes in the VR queue on a cold day a couple of months ago. The VR was great. The people i went with much preferred it to the non-VR experience. They described it as...

If that's standard practice, it's rubbish and ineffective. A bit of the personal touch works in the long run, whereas the Ryanair way will backfire in the end. I guess I disagree with you all. There are decent organisations who do customer service well and reap the benefits in terms of loyalty...

Well lofty, it's generally not considered good practice in customer care departments to send massive cut and pasted emails as replies as it annoys people who are already angry. Some degree of personalisation, or at least answers to one or two specific points raised, is seen as good form.

This forum is a great find for me. I've no-one to talk about this kind of stuff with in my daily life. I've been reading up on here and it's even made me think about visiting the states to go on one or two of the classics there. Cheers everyone.

Big Dipper fire in 1975 didn't even stop them running the Log Flume. Hilarious stuff.

I wrote to the Ples to tell them how upset I was, and they replied with the press release cut and pasted into an email. Great work.

They will do next to **** all landscaping. It's the Ples. They don't give a toss about that usually, so a big surprise if they suddenly go all pretty now. The budget for Icon will look like this. 1. Roller-coaster track - 15.9 million pounds 2. Station - 90 thousand pounds 3. Promotional...

Erm. Avalanche Pepsi Max Big One And that's it.

In fact, there is another tweet from South Pier now saying "Watch this space" with a GIF of Joey from friends with his mouth opening. Weird for them to carry on the wind up if it isn't true. https://twitter.com/bplsouthpier?lang=es

https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/whats-on/pleasure-beach-chief-s-tears-over-dismantling-of-famous-rollercoaster-1-8945439 Amanda Thompson in tears. She refused to confirm or deny that it would be be rebuilt somewhere else. If that South Pier tweet wasn't a wind up the other day, it would be...

They have nothing planned for that space. They have just spouted some vague waffle about "future plans" as a fig-leaf. Something to do with health and safety or litigation regarding the Mouse has led to it being demolished. It hasn't been gotten rid of to make way for a similar size ride.

Revolution.

I noticed that as long as 48 hours ago the Wikipedia for the ride had already been put into the past tense and had the status "demolished". I'm not saying that means anything either way, but a curiosity in context of what's happened today. I actually re-edited the page myself thinking that it...
