what an absolutely amazing video, just saved me £15 pound!
The concentration of coasters at The Pleasure Beach always makes me smile.
It's like they're playing roller coaster Tycoon.
Chris Sayer heavily based RCT om Blackpool pleasure beach, several of the attractions that seem normal when you play the games are based on or are only at blackpool, such as the steeplechase.
Charlotte's reaction on her own was amazing so funny
Totally Agree! 🤣
She loved it and span so much on her own!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide looked great can not wait to try it myself
Shawn and Charlotte riding alone spinning was some of the best theme park footage I've ever seen lol 🤣
Well done guys
For £15, it doesn’t look like it spins nearly enough
Not everyone will want to be spinning loads, this serves more as a way to point you in different directions throughout the ride. Though £15 is definitely a lot, especially if you did go on and happen to be facing forward half the time.
Without some kind of upcharge that will deter a lot of people. The queues to get on it are going to be hellishly long.
@@Mitjitsu So you don't think they are ripping people off. Pay 25 and get to the front of the queue. That's a blatant con and extremely greedy. People should boycott it so the pleasure beach doesn't make anything from it. They could have made it free and just let you book a time to ride just like the fast pass option. Oh wait then they don't get 25 pounds per person. DOH
@@LancashireBob Parks cost money to run and need constant investment to keep people visiting. There's a reason food and drink tends to be pricey compared to most other places.
@@Mitjitsu Okay I agree with you that parks are pricey to run and also that during the pandemic they lost revenue. But. The pleasure beach was always seen as a value for money day out. You could walk in for free spend some money in the souvenir shops or win a cuddly toy etc. Now it's 10 pounds or maybe more just to look inside. The ticket prices on the gate are way over the top that's why you can find discounts all over the Internet. To add two seats to an existing ride and upcharge 15 or 25 pounds per person is immoral. If you have a couple of teenagers who want to go on just for one ride that may or may not spin around. Then the cost will be virtually 100 pounds just for the two kids. People are facing hardship more than any other time in years. And Shawn used to be an honest reviewer. Now because his channel has grown and he gets invited for free he just waxes lyrical about everything. You must know his subscribers are predominantly young and impressionable and probably have little knowledge of money and how hard it is to survive. So while you justify the huge cost of entry and the eating establishments in there. That doesn't mean that things are value for money
After trying it out for myself, I can genuinely say, without a shadow of a doubt, that riding ENSO was the best £15 I've ever spent! I was on my own and the car spun like an absolute top! It ranks as my favorite coaster experience in the UK hands down!
HOWEVER... I do wholeheartedly agree that £15 is definitely pricey, and it would benefit the park infinitely more if they added an extra ENSO train and lowered the standard price down to £10. That might just make it enticing enough to convince more people to try it out for the first time, or make it so that riding it more than once per visit doesn't require taking out a mortgage.
Regardless, I'm still flabbergasted at how good my ride on it was, and would still recommend it, even if just for one ride.

Great to hear!
Looks like it spins faster when there's only one rider... Might give it a go
@@danielledewitt1 Absolutely the biggest waste of money.
Definitely better on your own!
If you ride on your own, and also pull your hands and legs in as tight as you can, you will spin like crazy!. 😉
@@danielledewitt1 why u so negative about everything 😂
@@danielledewitt1 I’ve actually done this on steel taipan and it works, so it’s extremely likely
£15 for one go?! I'm sure it's fun, but why on Earth would I bother with that when I can just ride normally (as many times as I like) for £0
How do you get in the park for free?
@@daviduns2196 Well I don't get in the park for £15 either, so 'on top of park admission' was implied.
Agreed
@@stacked7476 Spinball Whizzer spins! no up charge for that
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The price of ENSO certainly isn’t cheap, however it’s a completely optional experience that doesn’t change the original ride. It’ll be interesting to see how popular ENSO is and if the price will be adjusted in the near future!
So happy to see you get your first ride on Enzo and fairplay to PB for allowing you to film on ride. Looks incredible, can't wait to get on it this summer.....definitely all about the weight distribution.
It was great to be able to experience it
Looks good and great that you get a different experience each time but don't agree on paying £15 extra on top of the park price each time you want to ride
Favorite part was when Charlotte calmly switched gears and said "lovely view of the train" lol. Great video TPW!
Thank you! She loved it!
"wheee! AAAAAAAH!"
I'm always impressed by your ability to keep re-riding things one after another - not sure if it's me getting older but I can't keep going on coaster after coaster like I used to - I think 4 rides on this and it would be a real vomit comet!
I know what you mean Ed. I avoid infusion altogether now as i don’t feel good after it.
My body is just that used to it now!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide there must be one ride that makes you feel sick or a ride that you don't particularly like doing but you do it for your channel.
I had 2 rides on Icon after a Burger King and I swear I was green in the face afterwards!
I remember watching Shaun ride Nemesis 50+ times in a row in a video back in the day... about 10 years ago I had my own experiment to see how much I could ride Nemesis back-to-back and after 7 rides in 35 minutes I needed to lie down for a bit!
The upcharge is just too steep for me. I get that it's needed for the low capacity but such a shame that loads of people won't be able to experience it.
Yay another up charge experience in a theme park. I don't mind if they do this for special shows like Halloween mazes and stuff but paying extra to get all the fun out of the rides. What's going to be next?
WOW 🤩 - I went on as a single rider and span 360 degrees 3 times!! It’s great but is very expensive- would love to see a Mack xtreme spinner at towers or Thorpe!!
BTW thanks for the videos it helped going to Blackpool for the first time a lot 👍
Oooooh been looking forward to this!
I went on this last week. Hot tip try and ride yourself. I am around 18 stone and it span around alot and was the best rollercoaster experience of my life.
15 pound up charge is alot but still has to be experienced at least once!!
Was on Icon 5 times in a row no q!!
Interesting comparing it to Steel Taipan's. I found ST to be very intense! Enzo looks a lot milder, but still fun!
Having also ridden Steel Taipan, it definitely spins far better/more than this, whether it be two riders or one. This still looks mad fun though.
Yea, steel taipan is so good! As soon as you reverse into that spike, I would flat out spin lol! Looking at this, the car wants to spin but it looses momentum due to the left and right corners.
They have this same spinning seat at dreamworld on the GC. The seat will spin more if you sit on the right and your on your own. If you want to spin more.
I cannot wait to finally ride this! My favourite coaster in the UK just got even better!
The ride looks fun but not sure if £15 could be justified, especially in this difficult time where life has become expensive!
Entrance for adults is £42 and children £28 …. You cant even walk around for free now
@@carmelcollins2194 most parks do that i believe
Absolutely fantastic! Can't believe how many great new views you get from enzo. Definitely worth a try. Great POVS guys, cheers.
That is one very tight seat. I see an issue when it spins as it’s a very slow spin and usually spins are a bit faster. The seat needs a slight loosening to get the spin better at least to do a nice turn during the twists.
I’m loving the on-ride POV’s 😍😍😍
Seems like the vibrations on that back spin seat are high. I’m not a fan of selling essentially add-on content to existing rides.
It’s always great to be able to share POV’s when we’re aloud to!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I love when you get to!
'The One With Charlotte' is an excellent episode! 💯 That looks so much fun!! 🤩
One awesome vlog Shawn and Charlotte. Don’t think Enso is for me especially with an upcharge of £15 and £25, that’s crazy, but for those looking for extra thrills on what already is a great ride, then yes this is the ultimate rollercoaster experience. Loved both of your enthusiasm for this ride👍
@@stacked7476 yes it’s crazy pricey
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I'm with David here do the maths folks. Shaun will know better but say it's a 2 min 30sec experience. I know there are loading times and down time to factor in but they're variables. At 25 pounds a seat and at 2.30secs a cycle, say that's 26 cycles an hour for one seat that's 650 pounds and hour, double that 1300 pounds X hours the park is open, for arguments sake let's say 8hours. 10,400 pounds a day, even if the carriage costs 60,000 its paid for itself within a week. Again I have no clue what a spinning Mack carriage costs so Shaun would be better to do the maths, and I know there is a 15 pound option, but like the author of this post I think sadly I won't be spinning on Icon anytime soon.. I am 47 years of age been going to BPB since I was about 5 years old, I have taken my own children on numerous occasions and had lots of fun there, but if my kids were still that young, for a family of 4 at this time I wouldn't have an extra 100 pounds for 2 and a half minutes of fun, and if I had we certainly wouldn't be able to re ride at those prices.
@@markbrown4013 nicely stated Mark my sentiments 👍
@@stevenmaloney3787 yes very true Nemesis is still my favourite though
Looks amazing!🤩🤩🤩
I’ll be honest, if I paid £15 or even £25 for the ride you had the second time, I’d be raging. Really doesn’t seem worth it imo, seems too much of a risk. Also, the chances of being on your own and getting that better ride in bau conditions is slim to none
That sort of up-charge pretty much makes it a one-and-done for most anyway. Hard to justify spending so much in addition to the park for multiple rides even if it were the best ride ever made.
Yeah it barely span at all.
Absolute rip off......but then that's pleasure beach's buisness model anyway
@@kratcliffe5680 Shawn is turning into a snob. No mention of the cost because he rode for free. They are both selling out in my opinion. A couple of years ago he would have spoke his mind about the pleasure beach. Now it's like he's being paid off by them
@@LancashireBob It's easy to provide nothing but positivity when your riding free. But then, if he goes on to slate it and say its not worth the money, pleasure beach aren't likely to invite them back again to preview and ride future attractions for free...
Bit of a rock and hard place for them
Great video as always from you both !! Thanks for going to the trouble to pov it so well !
Now gotta visit from Australia 🇦🇺
Having been on it the other day. The best way to ride it is a solo rider sitting in the left seat. You'll get much more spin that way. I understand why it's necessary to have an upcharge, but I think £15 is excessive.
Looks awesome, cant wait to try it out and I LOVE the Thumbnail!!! One of your BEST!!
Thank you!
Great to see ICON finally launched!! Now waiting for the main event …. *rubs hands* Valhalla!
I’m sorry but that looks terrible, especially for £15
It’s definitely better on your own instead of as a two. I’d still take the standard experience over the spinning though!
I got to go on a spinning seat, it was on my home parks coaster, Steel Taipan. Very fun
Great Ride and Review Shawn! I gotta say I like the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd footage of the entire ride! ENSO is so much fun! And it has a great spinning seat by the way!
Do you get a refund if it doesn’t spin ☹️
Do you get a refund if it does spin ?
joking aside, always worthwhile checking this young couple's posts
.........even if i struggle just looking at the rides most of the time !
Went today so I’ll add my thoughts before I forget them! It’s ridiculously good fun, an absolute blast. Icon is a fantastic ride anyway but these seats make it a completely new experience and are a total thrill especially when you end up facing backwards on the second launch!
Now for the negatives, £15 or £25 (for no wait time) a pop is a stupid amount of money. We only make it to BPB once or twice a year but if I was a local with a season pass I’d be pissed off. Today the Enso seats were mostly empty and people had no idea what it was about. BPB have taken what used to be the Speedy boarding queue and made it the Enso queue so you had people constantly in the wrong line, that’s going to be messy in high season. Making matters worse, when the Enso train comes around, people who are queuing for the last 2 rows of the normal train are left confused because the gates open and there’s only 1 row, people were trying to board the train and had to be held back by the staff. Also, if you have bought tickets on the day rather than E-tickets, you can’t book these seats without going to customer services where they have to make you an online account which takes at least 10 minutes if there’s no one queuing there! I hope BPB are paying attention to this or the poor staff are going to have a lot of issues this summer…
Thanks for sharing!
I bought on gate and purchased for 15 pounds at customer services in seconds
Please keep your videos keep on coming. I was a theme park addict with my husband but can no longer ride these awesome rides so love watching your videos. You are a great reviewer...
Thank you!
I've never heard Charlotte scream before. "Lovely view of the aaaaaargh !"
Left seat on your own, bit of lap bar room, arms and legs extended throughout, best ride experience in the UK by far. More than worth the £15 IMO. I just wish I could pay to have an hour ERT!
Have been so excited for this vid
Great video as always Shawn and Charlotte, I'd say from what I saw in this video. You get more spinning on your own rather than with someone, so it'd probably be better to ride ENSO on your own to get the full spinning experience.
Alton towers have missed out on SW9, love your content keep up the great work 👍
What a fantastic video Iv been waiting for this you truly caught exactly what we all wanted to see , keep up the amazing work TPWW thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a national treasure. So lucky to have these coasters down the road.
It’s an epic park!
Thanks for this.. love to see you two have fun on the rides. We plan to go next week 😄
Have a great trip!
I mean, fair play to Mack for engineering something so perfectly balanced but they really need to add weight somewhere to offset the balance a bit. Looks far too tame with two riders. Better single riders as the balance is off but it barely moves with two riders.
Suppose, end of the day, it wasn't designed as a spinning coaster so the laterals needed to make the cars spin are kept to a minimum.
Would like to give it a go at least once but doesn't look like it really adds much.
Great new ride for wonderful Blackpool PB! Hi Shawn and Charlotte those solo rides are incredible! What a great privilege to be invited to try this ride! This and Icon are really putting Blackpool on the World's best parks to visit 2022 and beyond!!
Loved the video and love both your enthusiasm and great UA-cam channel 😀Looks so exciting. I should be up in Blackpool with my family this Easter so will definitely be going for a spin on that back seat. I be happy to pay £15 for that Ensō experience. I hope Blackpool Pleasure Beach promote it on their TV advert, as more people need to hear about it, and your great video of you both riding it should be shared all over. Hopefully by the end of the year, it will get a Million views which it truly deserves x
Thanks for watching!
Spins a lot better with just the one person on. Looks like a lot of fun
Excellent reporting on this attraction. Looks fun!
Is the £15 charge to stop it from having big queues and for the majority to only want to sit in those seats? I really hate upcharging in parks and from the POV's it really doesn't seem worth the money overall. Maybe once to say you've done it.
It’s definitely better on your own instead of as a two!
for curious people, mack rides are all free spinning, the diference between this/extreme spinner and the classic spinners are that this kind of rides have a rotation limit, meaning you can't spin faster than a certain point so it doesn't make you super sick and allow even more sensitive people to ride
Thanks for the video Shawn and Charlotte! Definitely interesting to see how different your experience was each time.
I'm still not 100% sold, but I'll at least try it before I pass judgment..
I think it's worth it to say you've done it I don't get to go to many theme parks so I want as much as possible when I do
That Mack rattle 😂
There is a spinning seat like this on the new Steel Taipan at Dream World on the Gold Coast Australia. I found single rider was way better and if you pull your feet in as it starts to spin you can actually get more rotation. I was amazed how much you could sort of control the spin.
Ahh I've been to dreamworld a few times. Superman was my fave then. Probably well out of date now. But if your ride is called Taipan...is going to be snakey ha
Love you guys... Some times you just need a good video like this to cheer you up. So thank you 😌
Thank you!
Omg the views you get on that look incredible, but it definitely makes my head go funny just watching it. Can't wait to try it out.
Have a great ride!
I went on this when I was 10 it's brilliant absolutely amazing
Charlottes ride on her own has made my day, after watching yours in almost silence I felt reassured by Charlotte because I tend to scream a lot 😂
Love the way Charlotte was screaming then went weeeeeee 🤣
Blimey £15 to ride ENSO that’s crazy money, I much prefer to buy wristband for an epic full day riding experiences exploring all the other attractions in Blackpool the sealife centre, As for you and Charlotte you both looked like you had such an overwhelming awesome time riding ENSO, different POV’s Charlotte laughing screaming with excitement as she was proper spinning on her own riding, Charlotte’s really good at vlogging using your GoPro getting some amazing views shots, well done both of you great vlog and Thank you ever so much for taking us along for the spectacular ride experiences, I’ve seen it 3times already still watching and forever supporting your channel as always cheers oh by the way how do you manage to 4consecutive times on these rides, I only used to just about manage 3 times after that I probably be an endless disorientated spinning dizzy zombie lol
Loads of great POVs there to give us a feel for this experience. I still think it’s too expensive, on top of the £40 park admission, especially if you are a family wanting to try this. Disappointed that it’s only really great if you’re a single rider as, with two seats on one of three trains, most people will never get to try it that way, especially if visiting at busy times. Does look fun, but I think I’d rather ride a spinning coaster in a park where it’s part of the admission and not an up charge. Will still ride ICON as that is a brilliant ride.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Imagine this being on other coasters like Nemisis or Smiler at Alton Towers for example!
Spinning rides aren’t my thing but I’m so interested in how everyone finds it. Certainly looks to spin far more when riding alone. Loved Charlotte screaming as soon as it set off!
Your smiles say it all, it will be a special treat, great fun, probably not ridden every time, but definitely one to try, good review
Definitely
Aww poor Charlotte looked terrified,and I thought you Sean was going to say the F- word at one point🤣.
A shame it doesn’t spin much at all - definitely not worth the upcharge in my opinion. Shocking how there’s even an upcharge in the first place 😂 if it span like spinball/fury than fair enough but to me it just tilts side to side
When they were both on there it turned around once. 😬
This looks good guys will obviously give it a try! Brilliant stuff 👍
That looks incredible!! Be definitely be having a ride on that! Fair play to PB for letting you film on ride for us all, love your videos
It was great to be able to share the on ride experience!
Hi I got a autograph on my blackpool ticket remember when we met on icon next to the pictures
It’s doesn’t even spin at all. What a money making scam id rather go on spinball whizzer at least you spin more on that.
It’s definitely better riding this on your own as it makes the experience much better!
Imagine if project exodus has a spinning car on the back 🥶🥶🥶
ENSO must translate to "slightly sideways, but mostly forwards still"
Extremely Naff Super Overpriced. ENSO
😂
It’s definitely better riding solo for this instead of as a two!
Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you!
Still have yet to get on Icon as haven't been to the park since the ride opened. This looks like so much fun! I loved the Swarm's backwards seats so this is exciting!
This looks great! You both looked liked you were having a blast doing your favourite thing!!
It was great fun!
Thanks for the explanation and the fun coverage...
Great vid, cant wait to try this ride now!
Brilliant. But now have to decide whether to eat or ride Enso. 15 and 25 pounds 😳
They so need to add more spinning seats to this. 😁 I love Storm chaser at Paultons so this must be amazing.
Now that looks like like fun can't wait to ride her this year it's look like fun
Great filming both, you must have a iron fist grip after that experience
If your riding with a friend then I'd say Spinball Whizzer looks more intense.
Enzõ is next level
I found it funny when Charlotte screamed at 6:53
wow, that looked amazing. With just one spinning seat I can imagine the queues to get on it. Would love to experience it!
ha, I did Enso today and honestly, I didn't have the foggiest idea where I was on the layout even though I have been on icon about a million times 🤣
also, the best £15 I have ever spent, it was just such an amazing experience, I couldn't stop laughing the entire way around. Although, I do believe it should be a lotcheaper to entice more people to do it, or at least throw in a "free" on ride photo!
imagine having a spinning seats on millennium coaster back of the train at fantasy island
I wonder why they didn't use the 4 seater car instead. I feel like they weight distribution there could make it spin even more.
Looks like a fun experience but is it really 15 pounds per ride? That's a LOT of money. I get that it has a low capacity but that could have been handled with more/other cars instead.
Wow we were glued to the tv those on ride footage was awesome. Great video. 😁😁😁😄😄😄😄😁😁😁
Thank you!
I was really hoping it would be Ride to Happiness level spinning, it looks like they are using time traveller's magnetic spin damping. They also should add spin impulses to the two launches, it could be so much better. I wish they made one of the 3 trains proper spinning trains from those mack extreme spinners
Check out the Steel Taipan in Australia. , Mack did this on that new coaster a few months back. Having ridden it, Steel Taipan spins a lot more than this version does, and it’s an incredibly intense ride. This still looks like great fun though! 😁
No way they is an up charge! The pleasure beach already costs a fortune for a family visiting.
£15 is a crazy price for that
It’s very expensive unfortunately
All very positive when you don't need to pay and park is closed. Let's see how it goes on a busy day. Something tells me going on your own won't be an option. Surely they would just pick another single rider to sit next to you.
It’ll be a shame if so, as the experience was much better on your own than as a two!
Looks so fun, great video thanks guys !
That looks fun. Fantastic footage 👍
Great review as always 😀 x
Well, I think a trip to plopsaland de panne does make more sense for a ride on a xtreme spinning coaster by this price.
The Ride To Happiness is one another level!
As a German enthusiast I don't think I'd spent 15 Pounds on this when I make it to BPB in the future, that is just like way too high of a price for a little bit of spinning.
