be warned theres alot of pictures here so if you have a slow computer you may want to leave for a while and come back and view.
so the day begins about 11:30AM on sunday. not the day im visiting the pleasure beach but me and my family (yes theres photos of them too) to find a hotel and just have a nice day around blackpool itself.
here come the 152 photos, i had 1237 photos but i thought that may be a few to many.

the first photo as i get out the car is of the roller coaster psinted in its new bright orange, its such a nice colour.

look painful awsomeness

yeah look old roller coaster cars, these are due for reconditioning to go into a museum built on the coach park behind valhalla

yay for advertising

straight past the ticket office for today

so after finding a hotel and spending a little time at the tower circus with my sister then about 4 hours in a bar rather than just going back to the hotel with the rest of my family i decided to go check out south pier since it was such a beautiful evening

see, beautiful

hello closed pepsi max, hope your open tomorrow

look, its a disney scene. i think so anyway [:D]

this is what i look like in the morning

the artwork on this ghost train was awsome

see awsome so i assumed it would be a pretty good one so i went on
I WAS WRONG, it sucked ass untill the 2nd level

not expecting a live actor to pop out from behind a corner, if it wasent for this one lone actor it would of really sucked

a machine of total and complete awsomeness. you control it too, the whole operation of the ride from the seat your in. the most awsome little ride i have been on for a good while. did this 2 times it was so much fun

hello huss gorgeousness. 4 times on this because of its complete awsomeness and a very intence ride cycle that lasted a good 10 mins

no small park would be complete withought one

yes its a breakdance No1

same here, everyone loves kiddie killers

sizzler, again another stock ride but a wonderful light package

the waltzers had the best light package on the pier, all the rides were owned by one company but run by an indervidual. they all get a yearly budget and compete for 7 awards to earn extra cash for the next year. lighting was one of them

everyone loves a long flume, yeah its 10pm so im not going on it

lifting up the cars the op said they was upgradeing the light package to a new LED custom system so no lights on the cars this year

the ride was wild and the op really seemed to want to thrill riders not just make cash like alot of rideops in the buisness do.
so its time to get some beer and sleep, its mearly 11pm so up early for a full english breakfest and to get to the pleasure beach with the expectation of very large crowds because its the may bank holiday monday.

yet another loverly day, had my full english brekkie and now onto the main event, blackpool pleasure beach

one of the best ticket point i know of, its surprisingly quiet

this makes me smile alot

beaver, ha ha i said a dirty word

look there are new sponge bob tickets

as on the sign "hold on to your nappies babys" im shure thats now what the rugrats actually said though

the crusty crab was a little bounce ride with lots of detail. BTW a crabby patty on there cost $12

the spongebob splash battle look fantastic, not in operation today as they were filling it with water and testing it but it looks like a hell of alot of fun, and again very very detailed

the detail is very very high and the whole new area is finnished to a very high standered. looks very very cool
