I have, but they are most definitely rumors.
Before the owner of Blackpool Pleasure Beach died last year. He was planning on the park building a record breaking coaster out along a pier perpendicular to the park.
The only information we got that it would have been called 'The Bigger One', and it would consist of a launch, and a top-hat. Thats all we got to know and as did i in my BPB newsletter.
The plans-or rumors were thrown away after the owner left everything, and his reign to his daughter after he died. And now the only thing she planns on doing, is to turn Blackpool into a mini Las Vegas, Casino's and all.
