I went to the Pleasure Beach last Friday with 3 of my good friends, despite going their that many times (and honestly becoming board with the place). We all had an excellent day despite the weather. We also managed a very good ride count, as the park was pretty much dead.

After a night in the pub catching up with my old mates we decided to go to the PB. I live around 2 miles from the place so we decided to walk down. Got our wristbands about 10AM, then went and got some breakfast.

The park doors opened around 10:30 and rides most rides opened at 11:30. we went on the pb express for something do to until the rides opened, here is our ride count.

Carousel x1
Alice X1
Ghost Train x2
Wallace x2
River Caves x1
Wild Mouse x1
Impossible x1
Avalanche x3
Grand National x2
Infusion x1
PMBO x1
Revolution x2
Nick Streak x1
Valhalla x1
flying machines x1
big dipper x2
blue flyer x1
log flume x1
splash battle x2
Bumper cars x5 (Love bumper cars)

The park was empty so most things were just walk on. The weather got very bad at points and we ended up very wet. The sun came out at points. This was one of the best days at the PB I have had in years, good company and good rides. (I would like to see Merlin take over though park tbh though). Rides closed at 5, but after doing so much we called it a day about 4:30, got a ride in on Valhalla then walked back home.

Hope you enjoy.
 
Sounds like you had a great time. I also really like that pic of Infusion and the Big One in the background.
 
I was there on the 17th July, i hadn't been to Blackpool since '97 & enjoyed riding all the coasters again. Really the only new one since i was there(correct me if i'm wrong) was Infusion & i was exited to ride it but It wasn't as good as i thought it would be. My 9 year old was on the Streak & Avalanche with me & i had another 1st time ride on one i never new existed, The Blue Flyer. :--D Fortunately i had good weather for my visit unlike yourself Dan1989.
 
I go a few times a season, living around the corner It's well within walking distance. Just wish the season passes weren't as high and Amanda Thompson had not destroyed the place
