Re: Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Project 2018
Okay. As someone who hasn't seen any plans from behind the scenes, and assuming these are real plans, I think that layout looks pretty promising.
The top hat element caught my attention as it seems to be a linear one, as opposed to the more common turn to the left or right. I'm wondering whether it will be tall enough to go over the lift of the Big One.
Someone cough twice if I'm right...

I guess it would be like Kennywood's Sky Rocket or Dodonpa. I kind of hope it would be an inverted version.

I'd rather it not go over The Big One tbh, famous photos of the iconic lift hill would be wrecked.
Littarly so excited for this though!

I bet goons circa 1992-4 were saying the same thing about Big Dipper being overshadowed by the Big One! Personally I don't think The BO's lift hill is iconic...well it is from the Promenade side....and I quite like way everything at PBB is on top of one another. I consider the park's jumbled upness characterful and iconic. It'll add to it.owentaylor121 said:

Its probably the layout and it looks great, definitely better than Blue Fire but perhaps not Helix. Good variety in the layout that has airtime and isn't dominated by inversion after inversion. I predict enthusiasts will be split on whether it or Nemesis is the number 1 coaster in the UK.

The thing is, this does have the potential to top Helix. I think a Mack launcher like this is going to have a great flow, especially if it's in a tightly packed park like Pleasure Beach. It's going to be surrounded by a lot of rides and have to interact with some. The idea of realistically riding a brand new decent coaster in Pleasure Beach is just something we've never had to comprehend before.
