I agree with alot of you here, Blackpool is horible at the weekends, as i work for mcdonalds in centre of town, I see it all stag and hen doo`s. What i dont like while im working, is these stags swearing while there are children in, which does put alot of people coming. Blackpool is not for familys at weekend, but it should be.
Going off the subject a little, Blackpool has no proper bowling alleys, Super bowl clossed down in 2006, and said it was getting refurbished, its still not opened, and premiere bowl near the Odeon cinemas clossed a few months ago, Knocking it down to build a college. The nearest bowling alley for us Blackpool lot is Preston.
What they should do is build a bowling alley at the pleasure beach, and a laser quest (nearest one is morcambe.) Southshore is built for families.

Its great to lose your mates in it, then ile sneak into king cotton for a pint.
I wouldnt say its great atraction but its ok, if you had a big meal in the italian job which i normally do and feel really bloated. What gets me is that the waterfall in the middle works, but does not go over the tunnel like it use to, loved running through getting a good soaking. I use to try and push my mate under the water fall.
Infact the maze is too easy for me i can be out of it in 2 minuites.

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The original woodie was withdrawn by the park, I think it was something to do with John Wardley being unhappy with the design from what i’ve heard.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 !!

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.

1) That’s more to do with me as a person. It was a stop gap whilst my other half was waiting to start work as a teacher. I have a degree in software engineering, and was starting another degree so needed time for that. I also discovered I had a serious knee injury which required me to not be trudging round for 12 - 16 hour stints.

2) I think it’s worse than you could possibly imagine, as do several other interested parties, not least friends of mine in the local police and trading standards (that’s another story for another day, though) - but again, you need to understand the hierarchy of the place before you understand just how unimportant the workers’ opinions are. So, the only thing it would have achieved at the time would have been certain unemployment, and now I’m out of there, it seems a moot point, and to put a selfish spin on it - someone else’s problem.

3) Not a chance. Her workforce don’t exist to her. They’re just a means to an end. I couldn’t possibly have enough time to tell you all the stories (some of which come from my first hand experience) of her attitude and lack of respect towards the people in that place making her the money she uses to laud over them. To put it bluntly, she really REALLY couldn’t care less about what one of her seasonal employees had to say about the area she considers herself the expert in.

Some of the above makes me sound almost bitter, reading back. It’s more a case of the fact the pleasure beach is the worst place I’ve ever had the misfortune to work at. The type of person I am means I’d do anything for a living - I don’t value myself as especially better than anyone else, but I think it’s fair to say that I think I can (and do) do better for myself, so I chose to.

I disagree with most of the practices there, I disagree with the way they treat their staff and I disagree with some things that went on I couldn’t possibly comment on with this being a public site no doubt read by those I refer to. But I can be a lot more pragmatic about it, and understand that it’s what works for them, and not for me.

Well, considering the day and age we live in, perhaps this should change. Should they have trained staff, with it being a high-profile public destination?

We have to look at economies of scale in order to find the answer. In other words, the question isn’t "should they" more the question of "Is it financially benefical for them to have trained staff in place, who would no doubt make the place safer, but increase costs".

(Assuming the training is paid for, or you’re paying an accredited professional more than the standard minimum wage to do a quite serious role. And where do the costs go? Do they take a hit on their profits? Do they increase admission to cover the cost?)

Does PBB value its customers safety to do the above? And does it consider it necessary to pay out the money to do so?

Make your own answer to that one

If you are tired of London, you are tired of life… Hi Me and my other half also love London her a little more than me, the only thing I dont like about London is the pace especally on the tube, more so if your on there at peak times, something you cannot avoid if like us you like to take in a show or 2 when your there. the people just barge past on them long tunnels when you have to switch lines or are leaving at your station. Dont get me wrong any one who knows me knows I dont walk slow myself and like to get to where i am going as quick as possible but in London its just manic, ok I admit with most of the people who are doing this its commuters wanting to get home at the end of the day but it just so gets on my wick. But the city and all it has to offer i love except the London Eye i just cannot do it, its odd though I can go up Blackpool Tower no problems (cannot do the walk of faith and look down though), and I can go up in a light aircraft on a pleasure flight, but the Eye just could not do for some reason.

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.

I’d happily work for the Pleasure Beach in a management or executive position which at least matched my current salary and working conditions.

I’d certainly not be interested in a job as a ride operative or sales assistant, as it would cost too much in travel for me to do such a job there. Maybe if I was retired and lived in Blackpool it woudl be good for extra income though.
