Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been named the 8th best park in the world, the 4th best park in Europe and the best park in the UK, according to TripAdvisor Global Awards. A remarkable achievement! Some might disagree, but many people clearly love the charm and nostalgia of the British seaside park aesthetic. Well done @Pleasure_Beach 🎢🫶

@richardpaulmatt @MandsThompson @AndyHygate Norbot has some additional scenery items around him in his scene on Wallace, and the hooded monks have been replaced with skeletons and the digital moving portrait has been replaced on Ghost Train.

Pleasure Beach continues to invest in new rides whilst reimagining the old ones, with small changes to Wallace and Ghost Train for 2026 and prices slashed to £28 on various weekdays, whilst increasing late night events to 24 dates. Well done @MandsThompson @AndyHygate and team

@CodyLeachYT Great to see Michael B Jordan and Amy Madigan receiving Oscars for their performance heading up horror. The genre is usually ignored, so it’s fantastic to see. They were both phenomenal, Michael is a powerhouse.

@ThemeParkWW Always cool to see people’s reaction the first time they ride it, especially when the lights drop and people realise it isn’t just a coaster 😱😂

@ben3343b @MandsThompson @AndyHygate A bit of positivity isn’t boot licking. Just let me enjoy this hobby without interjecting with rudeness. Trust me, you’ll feel better about the world. Have a good day Sir 💪

@CoasterJoey @MandsThompson @AndyHygate I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just not going to sit and be a boot-licker for a theme park that has had 2 additions 10 years. Say what you want about fixing Ice Blast and Valhalla, it's not exactly anything to write home about, is it?

@ben3343b @MandsThompson @AndyHygate You’re jumping on my post to be negative, it’s a bit disrespectful to the model shop team, designers and the engineers to say that all they’ve done is throw a lick of paint around.

@CoasterJoey @MandsThompson @AndyHygate I'm not defending those parks, they're almost as bad. Look at Drayton. From 2021-24 they put new trains on a coaster, new boats on a rapids as well as a new coaster, a new tracked ride, 3 flat rides and a playgrounds, plus retheming multiple rides and areas.

@ben3343b @MandsThompson @AndyHygate Most of Ice Blast was replaced, the compressor, the cylinders, the seats, the console. It is basically a new shot tower. A lot more powerful and themed. You think Valhalla is worse, many like the new effects and experience. It’s subjective, but “just a few licks of paint”? 🤔

@CoasterJoey @MandsThompson @AndyHygate Including: • Valhalla which took 3 years and is worse • Ice Blast was repainted and had parts replaced, hardly reimagined • River Caves still stuck SBNO I don't really see any "brand new experiences", just a few licks of paint and not a lot of much else...

@ben3343b @MandsThompson @AndyHygate For reference it was 8 years between Ghost Train and Hyperia opening at Thorpe Park (12 years between The Swarm and Hyperia) and 9 years between Wicker Man and Toxicator. Wouldn’t really count Gangsta Granny as a “put on the map” addition.

@ThemeParkWW The resort shot itself in the foot when it removed the roaming actors/performers. People can forgive downtime and capacity issues, but taking away all forms of entertainment just reduces the park to a souless pit.

As a life long Alton Towers fan, I’ve never felt so disappointed in the park. It really is disheartening to see the place you love, fall so far behind. Everything from the ride availability to the staggered openings is affecting the guest experience massively.

I can forgive monorail replacement busses and *shudders* staggered opening, but Towers is doing itself a disservice by not having the amazing roaming performers in Forbidden Valley. Bring them back! vm.tiktok.com/ZNRHQhxmD/

@markloftCD This just makes it even more disappointing that they’re using soulless AI to rebrand. Someone with your talents could really help them turn the business around, but right now they’re a laughing stock.

So, not-so fun story. I was the lead creative (for 12 months) with a conglomerate that were set to acquire Lightwater Valley prior to the Mellors… included a big rebrand 👀 Amongst new attractions, it was destined to have Ultimate 2.0 with none other than RMC 😭
