Good Afternoon My Incredible MadAboutCoasters Community,I hope you're all well ☺️ Our Aviktas VIP preview event vlog from Wednesday is now online, you won't want to miss it, You can find the video here: youtu.be/ETrDYvwZzm8 Thank you all so much for your continued support❤️

@mobiusb2 Well yesterday now 😂😂

@mobiusb2 Some of the first riders before the ride officially opens to the public. They had 2 VIP preview dates, sunday and today.

Today we experienced Aviktas for the first time as some of the first to ride it, and wow, we were absolutely blown away, what an absolutely world class Phenomenal Ride, best flat ride in the uk, and highly thrilling too. My second favourite ride at Pleasure Beach now 😁🐍

Staff are testing Aviktas tonight 🐍 The screams say it all 🤣

🎢 There is nothing quite like waking up and seeing the rides testing right outside your window! Have you ever stayed at the Big Blue Hotel at Blackpool Pleasure Beach? Let us know in the comments below! 👇 Rides waking up 🎢 youtube.com/shorts/kofP7pF…

@CoasterJoey It's amazing to finally see people on Aviktas 😁🐍

@himtns I listened to the Aviktas soundtrack for the first time today, and I'm absolutely blown away, it's absolutely incredible, well done my friend 🤜🤛😁. I have the Valhalla soundtrack playing through my headphones as I type this, your tracks are world class and I love them😉

@ThemeParkWW I do Love Wicker Man, she's the best modern wooden coaster in the UK in my opinion 😁

You can’t beat walk on Wicker Man on a beautiful Friday afternoon 😍 🔥 #wickerman #altontowers #themepark #rollercoaster

@CoasterJoey I hope you enjoy the event, whatever day you're going 😁🐍

@MadAboutCoaster Yes, you’re just not allowed to take cameras or phones into the ride area (queueline, platform etc)

If you are attending the Aviktas VIP preview event then Pleasure Beach have announced that filming is strictly prohibited in the ride area itself as they want to preserve the experience. The Hub will be open for reaction shots and footage of the ride from outside the ride area.

@CoasterJoey Thank you so much for that Bro ☺️

@AndyHygate Thank you so much for that Andy, I really appreciate it ☺️. I do have some footage of Aviktas testing from a previous visit that I haven't released yet, would it be okay to put that in whilst we're enjoying our Preview, before the reactions part of the vlog? Thanks once again ☺️

@MadAboutCoaster No filming or photography for the previews please within the entirety of the new Aviktas area - reactions outside of the new Aviktas ride area including FY4 are fine - hope this helps

@AndyHygate Hi Andy, I've just read the email about filming at the Aviktas preview event, I was wondering if you could clarify, Is it inside the ride area itself or opposite Aviktas where river caves is? Can we do our reaction standing in FY4 near fountain with it in background?

@CoasterJoey @CoasterJoey Could we film our reaction from the FY4 area(near the fountain) with Aviktas in the background behind us?

@CoasterJoey That's fair enough, I have unreleased footage of Aviktas testing, so I'll just put that in the vlog whilst we're enjoying the experience before the me and my boyfriends reaction after the event. In all honesty, I didn't expect filming to be allowed inside the ride area itself.

Who else can't wait for the Aviktas VIP events this Sunday and Wednesday the 13th? We're incredibly excited for the 13th. In the meantime here's a video of Aviktas testing 😁🐍 youtube.com/shorts/lchKq2S…

@AndyHygate Congratulations on the award by the way, I'm so proud of you all, very well deserved 🤜🤛☺️🎉🎉🎉, Pleasure Beach really is the UK's best theme park, and I Love the place so so much 😁

@MadAboutCoaster Normal filming rules apply that day - so no filming on the ride The ride part starts at noon so be there from 11am Enjoy

@AndyHygate Hi Andy, I hope you're well. Me & my Boyfriend are at the Aviktas VIP event on 13th of May, am I allowed to wear a chest mounted camera whilst on Aviktas that day or do regular rules with regards to that still apply? What time do we need to arrive? Thank you so much☺️

@AndyHygate Thank you so much Andy, I truly Appreciate it, and we will do thanks 😉, we're so excited and can't wait for the event, it was honestly the Best Christmas present from my Boyfriend 😁. Do we need to go & check in, and if yes, where do we need to go check in? Thanks once again ☺️

@MandsThompson Congratulations on your latest award Mands, Pleasure Beach really is the best park, and I'm so proud of you all, thanks for all you do to keep this amazing park running, Chris ❤️
