Are you sure the series aired in 1998, because I'm sure it aired in 1997 :?

 

[Anonymous]

I didn't say it was 1997 did i? It was what I copied and pasted from TowersTimes!

 

[CoasterKing]

I made my mum tape that when it was aired. Ahh Jim Rowland what a legend haha. Back to the good old days when Pleasure Beach was less a showbizz marketing campaign and a proper good old fashioned seaside amusement park. I always loved Jim. He was so calm and collected in front of the staff but secretly he panicked a lot. And good old Geoff when he had that spat with the council. I loved this series I only wish they made more.

 

[Ollie]

I lost count the screams from RCT were used. :lol:

I've not seen this before though so it's interesting.

 

[clecktown]

I havn't seen these since they aired!

With it being Easter holidays, I'll get chance to rewatch them all.
It'll certainly be interesting to see the old rides and such.

 

[elmerfudd]

This is quality, i used to watch that when it was on and gutted they stopped filming.

Does anybody actually know why they stopped it?

 

[Inverse]

This is the most pinickitty thing anyone has every said in the history of human exsistance.

Thanks for the links, i will watch them shortly.

 

[CoasterKing]

I don't get why they used the sound files from RCT. Why couldn't they just use the real screams from Pleasure Beach? Its quite funny though.

 

[ciallkennett]

Oooh! Great find. Starting to watch now...

 

[Jools]

I don't get why they used the sound files from RCT. Why couldn't they just use the real screams from Pleasure Beach? Its quite funny though.

Probably because there weren't any.

It was nice to see old rides apart from the fact Ice Blast was Playstation still, like Tokaydo Express (MUST have been aired before 1998), Vikingar and the skyride.

I laughed when that lady said she thought Tokaydo was going to burst into flames :lol:

 

[Gangster4Life]

I laughed when the lady got stuck on Tokaydo Express and couldn't go down a ladder.

Why go on the ride in the first place :shock:

JR I miss you. What a LEGEND

 

[Tomatron]

I remember this well. This was a time when fly-on-the wall docs were massive!

Quite incredible to see how far the park has come even in just over ten years, and most of that has come along in the last 3 years.

 

[Nic]

hahahaha! I'd forgotten all about this! Cool to see it again!
