GYPB 2015 - New spinning coaster....

[Martyn B]

GYPB have confirmed on their website that there will be two new rides for this year!

No word on what they are yet, but it's been said that last year they were after a giant wheel, so that's a possibility.

Also, it appears that they may have removed their Disk'O, or sent it away for refubishment.

Good news! Hopefully they will be good!

Not a good start, they've announced the first ride, an SBF drop and twist tower (same as Adventure Island). It's due to open with the park on 28th March.

The second ride is due to open in June. No news on what it is yet.

Hey, those drop towers are fab, don't be knocking them for buying a good ride.

I'd expect the second ride to be of a similar scale.

Re: Gt Yarmouth Pleasure Beach - 2 new rides

Oh, I was just assuming that it's a kids ride. They already have a Zamperla Sky Drop, so it seems an odd choice.

The fact that the second ride isn't going to be ready until June makes me think it'll be more substantial.

^Launched B&M Wing Coaster, with 18 inversions and a 95m drop into the sea.

You're overthinking this like Drayton Manor. It's a Launched Intamin Twister Prefab Woodie with 5 inversions.

Ok, I'll give you the Intamin Prefab, if you add on a couple more inversions - and maybe a backwards, indoor section.

Lol so do Southend!

I do think that they're more like a transition drop tower and a proper drop tower though. It's good to have a bit of variation and something to offer everybody's tastes.

Re: Gt Yarmouth Pleasure Beach - 2 new rides

Oh yeah, forgot about that! :lol:

At least AI's is a part of a new indoor area with a collection of new rides. This will just stand alone on concrete unthemed.

I guess they could do with more kids rides though.

Wasn't funny the first time and will continue to not be funny until the Sun blows up and we all die.

New spinning coaster..... eh?

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

But I don't WANT to go back...

**** sake...

 

[elephant58]

But, they've got a spinning coaster.....

 

[Martyn B]

^ Which they only opened in 2013...

This could be a replacement, but surely they wouldn't advertise is it as new? And it's not like they rented the current one either.

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

Yay for potential of a new cred. Boo for it being a spinning coaster.

This. God damn.

 

[Tomatron]

I'm really glad I saw this before going there next week. I think I'll wait till the summer before taking the trip now.

Sod going to Great Yarmouth from Manchester twice in a year.

 

[Jordanovichy]

I love how all the **** places in the arse end of no where are getting creds this year just to spite Jordan who wants to get all of the UK creds by the end of the season <3

This is fab news, I was hoping to go there at some point over the easter holidays, this means I'll get 3 creds and hopefully get to the one in Hemsby too. Yay.
