Evening Stephen, great video but doesn't really interest me what they do with the pleasure beach nowadays, the way they've treated the millions of holiday makers that visited over the years that made it what it was by closing it off and charging £50 per person whether riding or not. Wouldn't bother me if it closed tomorrow, Blackpool still doing really well without it, the place is empty even in the height of summer now. They want to remember, Blackpool is the resort not the pleasure beach resort, as they've renamed it, thanks for the update, cheers mate.
The pleasure beach Dosent rely on foot fall nowadays, the ticket only policy will be the end of it . Families would visit Blackpool and be allowed a couple of rides, now it is fast becoming unaffordable for most families ,
Welcome back from wherever you were Stephen, looking forward to the videos. Back two minutes and it's kicking off in Blackpool. Sorry to see a lot of the old rides going hope they'll be replaced. The sea is taking a walk on the wild side by the look of it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Stephen. Love the bag it bin it slogan with the dog sprayed onto the floor. Seems very quiet there at the moment. Still plenty of sirens though.
Hi Stephen,good to see you and what's happening with the pleasure beach. Looking forward to your vlog where you've just been, thanks bye for now take good care 😊x
Welcome back Stephen I did see your FB post but I won’t say from where. It looked cold and blustery there and the Pleasure Beach looked a bleak lonely place in midwinter. Long gone now that Grand Prix ride. The waves were certainly rough today.
Evening steven i hope your foot is feeling better but the grand pre i remember that in the pleasure beach back in the day i used to love that as a kid and the grand national i went on that ride and crikey i never went on it again because of the speed of it lol when i were younger those rides would of been riden on all day but as you get older you get past riding on big fair rides i still ride on some of them though but notjing 2 whizzy lol the pleasure beach arena was epic in the old days every year me and my parents we would visit blackpool seagulls used to join us for a snack on the beach 😂 or swoop to steal it lol 😂 but the tunnel under the pleasure beach is some length i wouldnt want to run up and down it lol and the fountain looks fantastic i remember the log flume back innthe 80s i loved that ride that was the first ride i made for then the alice and wonderland lol but the rollercoasters now are epic i wonder if anyone has ever absailed down the big one lol and those waves lol back in the 80s i were taking photos of the sea with an old polaroid camera the tide litrally drenched me and my camera oh the joys of loosing a whole roll of film and 10 wet photos that looked like a watercolor lol my dad said its art that i said art how am i gonna see the tower and sand now i was gutted but i bought a new camera and managed to snap afew pictures away from the raillings its holiday fun i can laugh about it now the joys of holidays 😂 but stay warm steven it looked quite choppy on the promenade today brilliant video as always ❤️👍✋😊
Love ya videos, still need to have a look around pleasure beach, I'm literally 5 mins away from it on Lytham Road I can see part of it from where I am ❤❤
Another video under your belt, can't wait to see the video of..........city, the sneak peek was great. Why are you clicking, something hitting off your mike ????? Brilliant views of the sea 😂
Stephen you're a fountain of Blackpool and surrounding area knowledge so I have a question... I'm staying in Bispham in coming weeks..If I'm coming from Bispham into Blackpool Town Centre is that Northbound or Southbound?? 👍
Evening hark at the wind sad you can not walk round it any more it’s kickin off in Blackpool 😅 oh my goodness how lucky you are those waves and the wind it must be heaven to see that till the next one 😊
I agree we used to go and spend more money,but we will not pay 50 pounds just to walk round they forget it’s people like us that made the money for them so it should be free again to encourage more people

Agree, and teaming with people lining up for rides. I see no business sense in what they have done
Suppose they have to make their money some way or other. But personally I wouldn't give them the time of day.
Great comment 👍
Not interested, past times onwards 😮
@@martinwebb1681 I backed off when entrance fees came into being; refuse to give them monies this way
I loved the Grand Prix ride with proper engines when I was a kid. Flat out all the way round
Thanks Stephen for another informative vlog it's great to have you back i hope you are well 👍
Good to have you back Stephen
Thanks Gerard.

Thanks, Stephen. Love the bag it bin it slogan with the dog sprayed onto the floor. Seems very quiet there at the moment. Still plenty of sirens though.
Evening Stephen love the video really interesting, the shot of the waves were great hope you managed to keep dry.
I think the waves were saying welcome back home
Great video ❤👍
Hi Stephen,good to see you and what's happening with the pleasure beach. Looking forward to your vlog where you've just been, thanks bye for now take good care 😊x
Earliest memories of blackpool was the grand Prix loved it
It used to be called The Turnpike.
Good evening Stephen. Looking very quiet in town, but I guess will be busy for Christmas and New Year. Wishing a very happy Christmas.!!
Very sad to see the Turnpike gone. I have great memories of that.
That is how I remember it. When they said the Grand Prix was closing earlier this year, I didn’t know what ride they meant.
Stephen naughty boy racer . Nice closed update on the pleasure hope you enjoyed Edinburgh

Thank you for the video you are doing a great job 👍
Thanks for watching Jean 🙏
Brilliant update will be great to find out what they will build in the new area we was told new attraction will becoming but when who knows
Thanks for the update 👍
Alright Stephen great to see a post from you 🎉 great video I've not seen the pleasure Beach like that before 👍
I rode those cars so often as soon as i was tall enough! I went to the ladt ride event too
Another video under your belt, can't wait to see the video of..........city, the sneak peek was great. Why are you clicking, something hitting off your mike ????? Brilliant views of the sea 😂
Another great video. A lot seems to have changed over the years for the pleasure beach.
I used to love the Grand Prix ride when I was younger. I'm sad to see it go, but I suppose it was a bit dated.
Thanks for the video.👍
Glad you enjoyed it Mike
Evening Stephen nice video 😂😂
You should also talk about what ice blast is turning into; launch pad!
Great video
I worked on the Turnpike one Summer.
Turnpike is how I remember it.
Fabulous wqves
2.30 in Video, The Little dipper ride was painted Orange ( tangerine ) after Blackpool got promoted to the Premier League in 2010
That's not the little dipper, as Stephen said it's the rollercoaster. Interesting to know why it was painted such a horrible colour though.
@stevehadfield5963 I've told you why.
They’re flogging off lumps of concrete from the Grand Prix for £10/£20 on the ride parts section of the Pleasure Beach online shop 😮
Wowsers
Stephen you're a fountain of Blackpool and surrounding area knowledge so I have a question... I'm staying in Bispham in coming weeks..If I'm coming from Bispham into Blackpool Town Centre is that Northbound or Southbound?? 👍
Southbound Brian.
I remember I was never tall enough to ride a car attached to a track, but I could ride the pepsi max 😂
Haha 😂
Hi Stephen
Hi Stephen, have you heard the latest comments coming from Blackpool Council regarding the reasons for stopping the Heritage Trams??
It may yet be that the pleasure beach will revert to how it used to be, and one can only hope
Let's hope so mate, it would also bring a lot of people back to south shore as well that don't bother going that far down now.
@@stevensmith7460 Same here and businesses along the way would have extra customers. Just cannot fathom why they have done this
Demolition date of the old police station has been released!
Yea can't wait it's been so long
Will defo be following that 👍

Its time for it to all come down, and start again up to date rides etc
👍

Why is xmas the holiday season when the shops are closed a day and most essential workers are at work not people who are not needed
