| Alot of this topic talks a bout the decline of Blackpool.
Indeed things are not as they used to be. But Blackpool Gazzet took the time(2 weeks ago) to speak to owners and managers of the Sandcastle,sealife,waxworks,tower,piers,zoo etc….. |
It’s good to see some attractions doing well, but I think they’re maybe the exceptions.
There’s millions less folk going to Blackpool now, and those that do go are staying for much shorter periods of time. Sadly

For those of you interested by PBB’s maze did you know that the original maze was once situated next to the Derby Racers? A lady on the paybooth there was known to add an extra 5p to the entrance fee..By all accounts she had a price sign all of her own - showing 45p instead of the official 40p - that she would put up when she felt the time was right!
I have never worked at the park but you would be a-mazed by what information people are willing to share with this nurse from St Helens!!
Also this from my website dating back 5 years: The Adrian Fisher Interview - He designed the Chinese Puzzle Maze. It’s a brief one page interview which helped get my website launched back then.

| A message to anybody who has the series
You can upload it to youtube and it does not break copyright law because you are not selling it. Plus the BBC upload their own stuff as well. Plus their are already clips of the documentary on there. And when you talk about copyright in regards to PBB when uploading videos of onride videos or offride videos this can be classed as copyright as well unless stated where it came from. So if you do have it please upload it to youtube as I would love to see it. Just state that it belongs to PBB or BBC |
Incorrect.
The BBC you tube channel came about by the BBC having to defend their legal right to maintain copyright, the only reason they upload to that site is to stem the increasing tide of pirated material that is held under their copyright.
its not ok to upload any copyrighted material (in this case BBC output) anyone found doing so will soon find themselves on the recieving end of the BBC legal department. as well as having the offending material removed (eventually)
you may well argue that much BBC content remains unchallenged on youtube, this isnt being ignored, and prosecutions are being sought (which is a lot harder after the offending material is removed)
Adding its "copyrighted to the BBC" without proper clearance and excessive royalty payments paid in advance, is just as illegal as you stealing a car

a launched woodie would be awsome! lots of airtime for sure! on the downside i think the track would get worn very quickly so would get very rough.

I take it planning permission has been approved,the problems Alton have come across with residents is legendary.Was a wooden coaster denied planning a while ago.  |
The original woodie was withdrawn by the park, I think it was something to do with John Wardley being unhappy with the design from what i’ve heard. I agree that planning permission will be tough with a woodie though as clearly they’re much louder than a good old Steelie (especially when you can fill the track with Sand to dampen any noise) it would also have quite a lot to do with where the layout and route that the coaster would take.
Personally i’d prefer not to get a woodie at Alton especially not a launched one … I dont like the idea of it at all but thats just my own personal speculation and prefference for alton …. I’d like to see a steel beast of some description … something truly remarkable and new.
Whatever it is i’m sure it’s going to put Towers on the map …. what a great way to mark 30 years of being a theme park !!

I’ve just reread it again and saw the word game….Somehow missed that last time..Not sure at all..was it a kick football to knock down players sort of game…? I don’t know to be honest!! |
If my memory serves me right there were remote controlled tanks in there. Probably politically incorrect today, but some were British and some were German and you controlled them over some scenery like roads and bridges e.t.c. They were coin operated and were quite large.

Geat pics. Me and my husband went last August. I loved the Diary Room we didn’t buy a dvd but got an ORP! The only thing that put me off was that it was packed, you could barely move. We just couldn’t get to take any decent photos. I do have almost the same picture as you of me and Davina though!

November 17th, 2008Even today, there are many people that want to try their luck with panning for gold and who thus would appreciate the excellent services that Alaska Airlines gold coast travel affords them because it is an airline that serves directly as well as indirectly much of the vast state of Alaska and will help you reach destinations which are not even accessible by road, leave alone by regular airlines. The area where gold mining is said to have started off is known as Hope turnoff and it is here that your Alaska Airlines gold coast travel should bring you if you want a taste of what those early days were like.

| I was at the Edinburgh Dungeon this Summer, and wonder if anyone’s been both there AND to the London Dungeon and is able to offer a comparison of these. I was considering visiting the London Dungeon in one of next year’s trips to London.
I notice from the photo above that there’s a courtroom scene in London (which there was also in Edinburgh - I have to admit I didn’t like that one but and wouldnt’ have liked to have been one of the people picked upon by the judge. I don’t like paying money to be humiliated!) |
York I found to be quite chlostrophobic (sp ?), much darker and scarier … london is quite tame but good fun non the less and its definatley worth doing if you’ve not been before if simply to compare to the rest.
They have the court room scene at york too, the one in london was far better but was pretty humiliaiting for some people (one guy kept getting picked on and he didn’t seem too impressed)
The whole experience lasts about an hour and a half to Two hours …. and costs about twenty quid, however theres online discount and plenty of BOGOF vouchers available … so if you do go keep an eye out

I’ve always fancied being stuck inside a 6ft fuzzy Beaver. Sure it might be sweaty and smelly, and maybe quite warm, but to see the smiles on children’s faces would be worth it.

I too Love London. I was lucky to live there for almost a year in my early 20s, and love going back.
I was on the London Eye in the Summer, and really enjoyed it - I was amazed to see so many famous sights all in one go from an angle I’d never seen them before. If you’re interested in London in any way, then this is a must-do experience.
(The London Aquarium is also nearby and is a big disppointment compared to Blackpool Sea life centre (especially considering the price - which I can’t recall, but I did think at the time it was a lot for the experience).

I’d guess that although most pleasure beach addicts would buy a copy of this programme if it was released on DVD, the actual market which it would appeal to is miniscule compared to DVDs of more popular shows.
For that reason I doubt that it will ever be officially released on DVD - I do think it’s a really informative series. I’ve seen it a number of times.
I wish the BBC would commercialyl produce all of the Paul Daniels Magic Shows form TV on a DVD set, but again I guess the captive audience (despite being bigger than the Pleasure Beach fanbase) woudl be relatively small. Even all the Doctor WHo episodes which still exist aren’t rendered to DVD yet (and the fanbase for that is quite large).

Hi Jim,
I agree. I only ever really go to Blackpool in May or September, for pretty much the reasons you describe.
It seems that Blackpool council are coming round though, and there have been recent moves to make the place more attractive for families. We can only hope

Hi everone at bppb guide.
I love the flat rides especially the ones on the South pier and the Central pier mainly the waltzers on both piers as well as the breakdance and the crazy frog. 
I also love bling in the pleasure beach.
When i was at blackpool back in June i was talking to one of the ride ops and he told me that at the end of the season the breakdance will be sent back to the manufacturer to get refurbished. He also told me that the current waltzer on southpier is getting sold and a new waltzer will be replacing it.
I know that some of you members aready know about this.
If possible I was hoping that one of you could maybe take some photos of this happing please . That way i can see the changes for myself.
Looking forward to your replies. many thanks, spin ride lover.
