I can't stand it, it is very annoying to be honest and my problem with this lies with BPB more than any other park. Their staggered opening is very annoying and it's something we've been debating over on PBE for a long time now, why do they do it? What purpose does it serve other than to anger...

I've heard £5million and W&G mentioned in the same sentence, but I'll be surprised if that had any relevance to this latest bit of news. I can't honestly say I know much about this, but I do know they plan to put something in for thrillseekers after W&G, which is why they are slowly making room...

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach I was talking about flat rides, not coasters. Infusion was a major development to Pleasure Beach, just because it wasn't a gimmicky ride like Alton Towers often build doesn't mean it shouldn't of been considered as a major change. Pleasure...

Never judge a ride by a POV, it's that simple, wait until you ride it before giving an opinion on it. A lot of people think the Wild Mouse at PB is a kids ride, and come off it knowing it was a stupid assumption they made.

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach I was talking major developments, not filler attractions. ;) I seriously wouldn't pin your hopes on a new ''thrill ride'', it's quite evident that the current owners don't see a great attraction to them or we'd of seen at least one of them...

Great day at Wembley last Sunday, some of the lads in the Crewe team I actually grew up with and played football with until we were young teens; Nick Powell has a big future ahead of him, hopefully that'll be at Man United rather than another top four club.

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach It was decided quite a while back that it wouldn't be ready for 2012, it was always going to be planned for 2013, due to the changes being made to the actual location of the ride being a bigger job than originally expected. It'll be another...

Re: Wallace & Gromit Confirmed For Pleasure Beach Take a look at the photos from the last day or two at PB; http://www.pleasurebeachexperience.com/ ... &start=620 Wallace and Gromit is happening.

PMBO closing in the wind depends very much on the direction of the wind, for example a North Westerly wind is usually the one that can cause it to be shut for the day, but it does very much depend on the direction of the wind, the actual wind speed and how frequent the gusts of wind are and...

For the time being yeah, but there is something in the pipeline and the closure of the Swamp Buggies is phase one of that project so we've been told on PB Experience, the plan is to eventually take down the bridge from Dipper to PMBO and finally put that space to good use in between Avalanche...

Some of the rides were running yesterday and there was a lot of people stood around the arcade entrance at South Pier, so I am assuming they are running again.

It's about time this country got some modern woodies to be honest, everywhere else is building them but Britain. It doesn't shock me though when we have a teenage generation that considers the likes of Air and Rita exciting and claim rides that aren't glass smooth, are rough. I just wish some...

Roll on September! Thanks for all the recent photo updates.

Thorpe Park - 23rd, 24th, 25th March Who went: Me, Ash and Peter spent most of the weekend together, Jonathan and Stuart spent time with us at short intervals over the three days. Weather: Hot! I'd expect that kind of weather in July, not in March! Ride Count (approx); Stealth x22 Swarm x6...

It was started in the off season, they had to do structural work in places before doing any blasting on the old paint work.

You'd look dull and worn away too if you were being covered in salt and sea air all day, every day. PB are making a decent enough effort to keep their rides looking good, PMBO has had a re-paint along the Monorail route, the Nash is having a repaint and Nick Land hardly looks dull. Anyway...

Seriously annoyed at the removal of the Stealth SRQ, I think a lot of people who aren't aware of the change will be pretty riled up when visiting Thorpe this season. It seems like a crafty move to get single riders buying fast track IMO.

Behave, Crewe is in the North West, not the Midlands! :wink: Hanley is too expensive for a night out, plus it's in Stoke, so I don't like it! :lol: Anyway, sticking to the topic, the Rev makeover is in full swing, I have heard it'll be ready for June but I reckon they'll be done before that.

Nothing has changed, it's still sponsored by Pepsi Max and it has been called 'The Big One' since day one, it wouldn't surprise me if the sponsor is dropped eventually.

The POV is something of a disaster by the looks of it, it has caused nothing but negative comments. I'll be going to Thorpe for three days (23rd, 24th & 25th March) and I am looking forward to riding Stealth and Inferno more than The Swarm!
