New Nickelodeon Land for Blackpool

[Lofty]

I remember seeing Mack posting on their Facebook paga that they've already started testing their new water ride. I just thought that Blackpool were the only ones who had bought one. Obviously not if you look at this.. Lol.

They could be testing it before it goes to pbb, Happens quite a lot, I have a feeling the ride may have a lot of downtime thought.

^ I dont think a mini rapids ride would require any sort of pretesting, surely? Its a pretty basic ride.

Thanks for posting the pics, they show off just how big of a project this is for the PB!

Are they still turning Space Invader into Spongebobs house? I couldn't tell from the park map that was posted on the last page. Thats the only reason I want to go.

Not the mini rapids ride, it's that spinning water ride thing, like a tea cups with splash battle style cars.

^ Ahhh right. It was rumoured years ago that they were getting one of them, I remember there was a topic on it. I wonder if Nick land has been years in the planning then?

So what is the Space Invader building going to be used for?

Bottom floor including old Toilets and SI Queue line to become Big Pizza Kitchen and Top Floor to become 4d cinema in 2012

Due to Pleasure Beach's Request these photos have been removed.

Sorry About that, they seem to be picky about putting photos of construction up.

Is it just me or does the disk-o look a lot steeper and taller than the other disk-os? Maybe it's just the angle of the pics?

^There are two models, large and small. Small is Adventure Island's size, large is... Um, that size. I have been on one (I think) but I dunno where.

EDIT - DUH, Navigator. But, that has a big disk, this doesn't, which is odd.

Is it the same size as the one at Flamingoland ?

Definitely looks a hell of a lot bigger to me.

On another note... Actually loving the orange re-paint Thought it would look hideous, but I've been proven otherwise. Awesome set of photos BTW

Looks it yeah, the different disk size throws it off visually though.

What a shame Rollercoaster station had to go Suppose we just have to move with the times.

 

[alexr]

It's a Large model of the disco model I think.

Roller's station looked afoul imo

It is nice to see a bit of new life being breathed into the park.

Even though a few childhood memories are becoming history which is always sad, sometimes you have to change with the times.

 

[Martyn B]

It definitely looks like the larger model, but with the smaller disk.

I'm starting to warm to idea of RC being orange, at least it means it should stay in operation for some years to come.

 

[alexr]

I think it may be this one, not sure though
