    Thanks for the update on the demolition and the news about the pleasure Beach resort. They were lucky getting someone at short notice to carry out the checks. All they need to do now is stay open longer like they used to do and let people go in without paying and walk around at least then people can see the rides and get tickets if they want. If they don't go on a ride they might at least buy some food or drinks while looking around.

      many thanks Dave for your comments and also watching, I think everybody who’s commented of rates that point about being charged just to enter, as I’ve mentioned to others it’s a shame that they charge just to go in as if there was free entry like you said people adventure on the yard ride or to sell food and drinks which will generate huge income, unfortunately there is no plans to change their stance at the present time. All the very best and take care.

Hope you’re keeping well. all the best and take care yourself, Paul.

    Great vlog Paul. I went in Pleasure Beach earlier this year but too many rides not working. Need to get things sorted there as there was no queues a bit expensive imo

      hi Julie many thanks for your comments and also watching. Apologies for the late reply. I hope you had a good time when you visited? And yes I believe it is quite expensive to gain entry. It was better when you could go free and slack which rides you’d like to go on as a pay display so to speak. hope you’re keeping well and many thanks again. All the very best and take care Paul.

    Hi Paul. Great vlog with very informative commentary, which, I'm sure, people not from Blackpool, would especially appreciate.
    Yes, the old police station on Montague street, shut down in 2018. Used to like parking my car down there, due to lots of police vehicles in the vicinity. Imagined it was a little safer....
    Police were relocated to the new, purpose built building, on outskirts of town, Clifton Drive area....Old police station was bought by a womens charity, 'Fylde Coast Women's Aid', at auction, in 2019.
    Thanks again, for a very interesting vlog. Take care, and stay safe....😻🗼😊🎉

    • @TheBlackpoolLads

      good evening Linda and many thanks for your comments and also watching, is the first time I’ve seen the police station there and to be fair it looked like it was in use the sign looks spic and span, so very interesting information like closed back then thanks for that. It’s quite surprising what you come across as I don’t normally venture up the southside, as the saying goes, you are too old to learn. Hope you’ve been keeping well? It’s been another lovely day in Blackpool son has been out and not too cold which is always great. All the very best and enjoy the rest of the evening. Take care, Paul.

    • @TheBlackpoolLads
      @TheBlackpoolLads  Місяць тому

      hi Kev and yes I agree as many others agree they should let people in free which would generate people buying food and drink and popping on the odd ride or two as it puts a lot of people off paying just to get in nowadays which is a shame as it’s a great attraction. all the best and take care, Paul

  • @stevensmith7460
    @stevensmith7460 Місяць тому +4

    Evening Paul, them stalls at the front of the pleasure beach used to always be busy because that used to be the main free walk in entrance to the amusement park, now gated off. Used to be packed with visitors and now always looks shut it's that empty. A lot of people don't bother venturing down south pier end anymore, pleasure beach used to be the main draw for virtually everyone, not anymore when they're charging non riders of groups the full price. Stopped a lot of mums and dads taking the kids on there. I actually think the price for riders is pretty reasonable. Great walk and views mate, cheers.

    • @TheBlackpoolLads
      @TheBlackpoolLads  Місяць тому +1

      hi Stephen, many thanks for comments information and also watching, there’s a lot of people not happy that people have to pay to enter Blackpool pleasure Beach, It’s a shame if there was free entry a lot of people would get tempted to go on the odd ride or two which would still generate enormous income however they did try many people to persuade their owners to go back to how are used to be but they was not having any of it which is such a shame, and as you said all these lovely little shops along the front and now standing empty And many people don’t venture up this neck of the woods as the main attraction is Blackpool pleasure beach resort.
      Again many thanks for your comment and also Your information take care, Stephen. Enjoy the rest of your evening Paul.

    Hello Paul.
    That was a very informative video and what a nice day to be out filming. Since they demolished that building the site looks huge.I think the owner wanted to turn it into a car park and that was refused then it was said he would build some living accommodation and shops so will be interesting to see what happens.

    • @TheBlackpoolLads
      @TheBlackpoolLads  Місяць тому

      good afternoon or evening Edward many thanks for your comments and also watching, and yes I’m not too sure exactly what the plans are now as you said they wanted to build accommodation and a carpark. I’m not sure if that was knocked back so would be very interesting see what develops on this site hopefully it doesn’t remain derelict for long and building commences as soon as possible, as you said fantastic filming today again hope you’re keeping well. All the best and enjoy the rest of your evening. Take care Paul.

      good evening Patricia and many thanks for your comments and also watching. Yes I stand the same with you on that one. I prefer the northside than the southside but I guess it’s each to their own. You wouldn’t catch me also on the pledge of each as I don’t do heights! Hope you had a good day all the very best and thank you again take care, Paul.

    @333Raymondo Місяць тому +1

    Great video, thank you. I would like to mention about Pleasure Beach Amusement Park. When it was free entry, my friend and i used to frequent the park very regulary because we lived here and i still do, sadly he has passed away now and it was a good long day we enjoyed there. We used to spend a lot of money there between us, because we didn't want to come home. Lol. Anyway, we used to buy food, tea/coffee/soft drinks/ ice creams etc. We used to go in the bar and have a few beers and occasionly go on a ride or two (usually The River Caves), something easy for us. As i said it was a long day and we spent a lot of money and we loved it. Sitting in the sun and listening to all the screams from the rides and saying, ''you won't get me on that''. To close now, but i will not pay an entrants fee, which i understand that you get rides included for your money. I want to choose what i want to do and i don't want to pay for the included rides which i don't like and won't go on. Am i right? Also, the old system as it was, i would think that we spent more money actually, than the chargeable entrants fee they use now, whatever the charge is. Never been back since they stopped the free entry system. Ah well... Their loss i guess!

    • @TheBlackpoolLads
      @TheBlackpoolLads  Місяць тому +1

      good afternoon and apologies for the late reply. Just catching up with everything, first of all. Many thanks for your comments and also watching and raising some valid points and also a great story to go with it. Lot of people said the old system was far better than Pages to enter, it makes more sense free entry as more people would visit spend money on food and drink and also go on the odd ride or two will attract a lot more visitors to this part of Blackpool. Again, many thanks for your comments watching, and also your thoughts all the very best and take care

It’s become more less attractive as it gets expensive to enter and yes the hotel is really nice. Such carrots charmed to this, hopefully new owners will regenerate it.

    Good evening Paul. Thank you very much for this great video. The views of the sea and colors of the clouds look fantastic. I haven’t been on the pleasure beach since you have to pay just to walk around. We used to go there every time we visited Blackpool. It used to be nice in the evening with all the colored lights but now it closes to early. Used to love the roundabout with the horses which used to go faster at night when there were no small children on it. I am like you. You won’t get me on the big one if you paid me lol. Me and David wouldn’t go in the water park because we both can’t swim. Love the views from the piers. Again thank you for this fantastic video Paul. which I really enjoyed watching again. Take care, all the best and I’ll see you soon.
    Mildred. 👍❤️👍

    • @TheBlackpoolLads
      @TheBlackpoolLads  Місяць тому +1

      good evening Mildred and many thanks for your comments and also watching, yes it’s a shame that they charge you to go into the pleasure beach as it would put a lot of people off which is a shame you would’ve thought they would’ve let people walk around free and then get tempted for one or two rides at least once they are in. Hope you have had a good day? It’s been really nice in Blackpool today. The Sun has been out a little cold in the morning but it warmed up towards the afternoon again all the best take care and thanks Paul

    Hi Paul excellent video from blackpool pleasure beach they do a good Halloween at the pleasure beach it is a shame the prices are to high I loved visiting the pleasure beach back in 1990s happy days when I visited with family was the first time they filmed there back in 1997 it was on BBC one it is still on UA-cam when Jim Rowland was manager and Keith Allan was there and they got the job done and Geoffrey Thompson owned and now is daughter owns it now Amanda Thompson she as put the prices up and I'm pleased the pleasure beach find a electric company to run it and great footage of south pier another great pier to visit thanks Paul excellent video take care pal from Keith 👍 👍👍👍

    • @TheBlackpoolLads
      @TheBlackpoolLads  Місяць тому

      many thanks Keith for your comments and also watching and the information provided. I just finished responding to another comments and more or less the same as yours that the prices just enter are too high. They should make it free to enter and pay ride. This would generate more income more people coming up as they buy food and drinks even if they didn’t want any rights just to look around, however their stance is adamant that they will not change this and the prices will stay the same is such a shame for so many people . Many thanks for your comments and also take care all the very best, Paul.

    The pleasure beach was much better when it had a balance of coasters and fairground rides. The admission prices are excessive for what it has to offer nowadays in my opinion.

    • @TheBlackpoolLads
      @TheBlackpoolLads  Місяць тому +1

      hi Scott, and yes I tend to agree with you as many others do the prices are a little steep, it was much better when it was free to enter and you could select the rides you wanted to the stance they have taken is they don’t want to go back on this. Again all the best for your comment and your opinions take Care

    Won't be long before Mr Howard Plant the site owner opens up a new car park, He had no intentions of applying for planning to have apartments built on that land. I'm not knocking him every credit to him!! The council and him don't get on my only concern is Blackpool has too many open car parks with little security for the poor car owners.

    The pleasure beach. Very rundown looking when I saw it earlier this year. Nothing like when it was free to walk in.
    Take a day out to alton towers. Much better value for money. That's what a theme 🏞️ should be like, even with the extortionate prices.

      hi George, many thanks for your comment and also watching, and yes many people have commented said it was a lot better when it was free entry. It’s quite expensive for a family just to go in and possibly not even use the rides. It was better when he was free and I guess it would’ve generated more income as people would’ve bought food and drink on the premises. Thanks for your comment all the very best and Take care
