this is going to be a huge, infact my biggest photo trip report EVER for the awsome new nickolodeon land at backpool pleasure beach, south pier and the rest of the pleasure beach.
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
