last wednesday me and my friends went on another trip to blackpool. it was quite busy but we got loads of rides in as the park always closes late . at first we conqured the parks fabbri booster ride 'spin doctor' imo these rides are extremly thrilling but are not long enough. after this we moved onto the 'big one'(pepsi max)even tho its not the best hyper coaster at 235 feet the ride packs quite a forceful punch. the ride is quite uncomfy as the g's are quite heavy and it is one of the older generation arrow hyper's, i do like the ride tho but it lacks major airtime. after the big one we climbed upon b'pools newest ride bling. built by Zierer this ride is quite like a top scan but it goes all the way over, it is very secure and good fun. after this we climbed upon some of b,pools older rides including ' the iron brue revolution' ( an arrow shuttle loop ) 'the avalanche' ( a Mack GmbH bobsled ) the mighty 'grand natonal'(a wooden duelling coaster) 'the big dipper' ( standard woodie ) and 'rollercoaster' ( standard woodie ). we went for a re-ride on iron brue before heading to the parks s+s ride its just a standard single shot tower. after this we went on 'valhalla' one of the worlds largest dark rides, you sit in a viking long boat that sits eight people and go round diving through huge drops , backward drops, highly themed ice and fire rooms through rings of fire, ITS AWESOME. the only ride we missed on the day was 'space invader 2' ( a Zierer / Kumbak Coaster enclosed in the dark.
CONCLUSION: blackpool is a very good park for thrills and lots of fun, the park does have a big theming issue tho, the rides are quite individually themed especially 'valhalla' but the park does need buffering up.
overall b'pool does give a great day out.
7/10
