BPB certainly has it’s share of issues like any park does. On the plus note, The Big One has had some retracking in places, so should be a little less rough. Images from Pleasure Beach Experience.
-
Finally, something not to complain about. I hope it cuts the queues and the app works reliably.
-
A moment of silence to that place, was one of the best eateries around. Such a shame it’s gone now.
-
And the lift, which is scarier than the Twillight zone tower of terror. Then again it’s probably the best bet to stay unless you wanna go to up more for onsite or commute from Cologne maybe.
-
Doesn’t surprise me in any way really.
-
I really like the colour of this. Cant wait until they announce their coaster either. A tilt is a strange choice though and reminds me of the one they had on RCT3.

Whilst we are on the matter.

The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)

**The doubters** Very pleased and surprised it’s (technically) coming back. -
It’s all ups and downs from here by the looks.
-
I would also like to congratulate Mattymoo’s success. 69 is a great achievement.

I’ve heard Hong Kong Disney has also since closed now as a precaution. 2020 has literally started like some apocalyptic film opening, What with everything else going on in the world.
-
As long as it opens this decade, that’s all that matters.
-
Can’t be that exciting then as the park’s current budget only gives them enough for a Freddo frog and a can of Asda Cola.

This level of upkeep is dream material. gotta love that oil!

I’m not riding the Crocodile Flume. Grabbing a kiddie coaster Cred is one thing, but a kiddie water Cred? Nah I’m alright. Anything could happen with this updated area. Except the opening of a Rainforest Cafe.
-
Yup, can fully see the park reverting Rumba back to Thunder. Along with bringing back Pirates 4D and removing DBGT for the return of the Arena. On second thoughts, they’ll probably keep the ride the same until they remove it whenever that is.
-
I think good crowd controlling in parks comes down to (but not limited to): Major rides/attractions with decent capacity/operations Sufficient support attractions such as flat rides and other attractions within close proximity Balanced consistency of shows and entertainment Design and layout of footpaths and locations Tactical ways of moving around guests Over the last 5-10 years we have easily seen many parks go either way when it comes to handling crowds. Some have improved their infrastructure and layouts which improved how they handle crowds, whilst others have striped back on theirs leading to them coping worse when they get busy.

To compare anything and everything to Disney is in relativity unfair and inaccurate. You have to remember they are a multi billion company and throw millions on attention refurbishments (let alone new ones), which very few (If any) other major parks or operators can realistically afford.
-
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s similar to Fury at Bobblejaan or Gold Rush at Slagharen. After all, these three are all owned by Parque Reunidos.
-
I think the Capybara may well be the spirit animal of judgemental park enthusiasts. They look alright.

Ah Ling Bao, marvellous hotel and probably one of my favourite places I have ever stayed, let alone in a theme park! The theming, the ambience, surroundings, food, drink. Even the smells and music. It’s just a whole new experience to visit. Sure it isn’t cheap but the escapism is surreal. Heck even, walking out to the Chinese square in the middle of the night seeing Taron loom in the distance. You are literally staying in the park overnight!
-
Has been a while so might as well update: Gouderix- Ouch Ouch Ouch. Looks nice on the lakeside though which is a shame it doesn’t ride as nicely. Banshee- Dull, forceless and just underwhelming. Adventure Express- A themed lift hill that leads into a, wait for it.... the station. Hero- No description needed. Tokaido, Khan and G.Force are not forgotten, won’t miss G Force tbh.
-
Haven’t visited their Winter event for a couple years now, but was absolutely fantastic when I went. Definitely thinking of returning in the future at some point.
-
Too early to say whether this’ll be good or not, but at least the park are getting another dark ride/indoor attraction which they have somewhat needed now. I’m sure it will work though for the target market they are going for.
