- We went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach on a sunny day in May for our early season meet up. With over 100 in attendance it was an excellent social gathering at the Pleasure Beach.

Not even finished the video but crying laughing at Marks Vahalla rant. It would be no where near as bad if he’d had his chicken 😂
Valhalla has been ruined. Once the best now one of the worst. What a waste of £4 million 🐻
Great day and vlog ,it was my first meetup everyone was friendly, enjoyed the memorable moments Valhalla bumpy bumpy start stop ride look forward to next one ,thanks to Scott and Becky including the evening event ,oh by the way tell Mark his Chicken is ready 😉
@@Paul_UK Calm down bro it's just a ride...
Still ranting in our group chat now 😂
@@yourexperienceguide 😂 was so funny! Great vlog again mate 👏
Mark left feeling Bitter over the Chicken place not having chicken has made my day. The fact he then took his frustration out on Valhalla was just Pure Incredible Sulk!! 😂
It gets better, I popped in there for a drink as we came off Valhalla and they had some back in.
Honestly so funny, glad I went to pizza kitchen 😂😂
@@cool110 I think it just wasn't cooked in time for the "unexpected demand" staff seemed inexperienced.
Completely agree about The Big One, it was so rough last week on the turn around and the helix, hopefully they can do A good amount of retrack over the winter. I also got evacuated from Valhalla lol then waited 20 minuites outside only for them to say it won't reopen 😂 but had some great rides earlier in the year, when Valhalla works its really great! I live in Blackpool and wish I'd have known about this meet, would love to meet you guys 😊 great channel and content 👍
It needs a big sort out but I’m not sure they’ll have the money for it 😢 We’ll definitely do more meetups like this in the future 🎢
Helix should be next section to retrack. BPB will know that is next priority.
came down from Scotland on Wednesday, waited 1hr outside the gate (advertised 1pm) got on, ride stopped at turntable as the turntable didn't reset. park was dead so didn't mind waiting as been on everything, same again on Thursday but waited from 12 to 2pm, stopped again at the turntable and then again on lift 2, went through the section with lights til the lights turned off last min on the drop, all fire effects worked. rode it another time around 4:30, stopped again. fire was OK, then rode again, stopped again while waiting, got on and finally managed to get through without stopping. all effects worked, I hope you mentioned this to BPB about the issue!
With the big one, I can see what you mean as I normally ride it serval times but this time I found it very rough. along with the red train on the grand national I found it smooth, did it again the next day on the red rather than the green and found it a lot more rough. These things really need to be looked into
After all this time Valhalla’s biggest problems are seemingly still there 😤
Scott how did you not just burst out laughing when Mark was going off on one. You did so well to hold it together. 😂😂
Honestly no idea 😂
Fantastic day , felt very welcome and great meeting new people . Looking forward to September. Totally agree with mark you get so wet you can’t enjoy the ride
Thanks Carl 😃
I still enjoyed it. Although didn't stop mid cycle
Thanks so much for yesterday!!! I was so anxious coming on my own but had a great time and left with many new friends!
The Valhalla situation is very scary. I’m glad no one came off with any nasty injuries. BPB need to look at that incident for sure.
Glad you had a great day Freya 😃
Might be worth mentioning that clubcard are going down from 3x to 2x value on rewards so if you want to use the vouchers for BPB, change them over before, i think, 14th June 😊
It looks like you all had a fun day.
It was good
Totally agree about Big One , only did once, didn't want to risk triggering back pain, I sometimes get, it was Awful! Was a great day! Despite that and Valhalla!
Great to see you Baz
Brilliant vlog
Thank you
Big One was rough and despite the stoppages on Valhalla, I had a fantastic day. I am looking forward to September at AT x
Glad you had a great day 🎢
Great vlog! Chickengate was something else!!
Haha thank you! 🍗
I haven't been to Pleasure Beach in so so long! Watching this makes me want to go so much 🤩
It’s time to plan a trip 🎢
Great video guys, thank you so much. You should definitely do more of them. Love the chicken situation, but only fair to tell you they have no bloody stock.
Thank you, I’d like to think there’ll be more vlogs than anything else over the summer 😄
It certainly was a fantastic day scott..made to feel so welcome both of us thankyou..agreed about the big one.i got proper rag dolled at one point i would say my head was not far off hitting front of carriage (at least thats how it felt it was back row left hand seat..still the best seat though..front row is only about the first drop)..valhalla was a good giggle but effects were poor i got a better run through on tech rehearsals i was so looking forward to the big ending everyone raved about on the media day..we got nothing!..bit crap really...thanks again for the grand day out pal
Great to see you both Tim, thanks for coming 😃
Sorry if this is a regular question, just wondered if there’s a “best” time to go to the park when it’s on the quieter side? Hoping to get a weds or thurs in before summer holidays, not sure what to expect?!
To be honest I haven’t seen it busy at all in 2023. Weekdays will be school trip days in the next few weeks.
@@yourexperienceguide thanks! Watched your video on it the other day and how quiet it seems to be. Surely they’re going to have to change strategy for walkarounds.
Classic log flume 👍 👌
Oh yeah
Hahahaha loved Marks chicken and valhalla rant 😂
Classic 🍗
Great day and vlog,ive enjoyed my first meetup for memorable moments Valhalla etc,thanks to Scott and becky for the evening entertainment,oh by the way let Mark know the Chicken is ready 😉
Thanks Paul, hope to see you again
Mmm I was looking forward to Valhalla but will be swerving it now, doesn’t sound at all fun ☹️. Like the sound of the September meet up , hopefully I’ll have my new hip by then 😁🧱👍🏼
Vallhalla 🌊was still alot of fun.
Are the effects as good as when it 1st opened ?
Well, we were there on the official public opening day back in 2000.!!!
It had several technical breakdowns whilst we queued then it was closed for the rest of the Saturday.
So we went back on the Sunday morning. The Hollywood style effects were superb & all worked perfectly !!!
This Saturday ? 🤔
I missed the backwards drop element tbh - now boats only go forwards after the turntable .
The effects that worked still impressive but because some didn't not on pare with the 2000 opening weekend
.Definitely much more of a soaker than before though - luckily lovely warm sunny day also like 2000
I think that's a fair assessment 👍
Still worth a go but it was a shambles on Saturday
@@yourexperienceguide Ops well off the best sadly
Thank you Lads for the pleasure you bring ❤️. Sallyanne
Thank you for watching
i wish i could had been at the Blackpool meet up i was in blackpool last week for a short holiday hope you had a lovely time and day
We have an Alton Towers event in September
what date will that be in September the Alton Towers meet up
Awesome vlog Scott! I think Mark needs to tell us how he really feels about Valhalla 😂😂
He toned it down for the vlog 😂
Haha that was him being generous about it 😂
Great vlog as always guys. You might recall after the Valhalla PR day I had doubts over whether BPB would spend/bother to keep up the effects and experience of the ride, however, it sounds like they are already slacking on Valhalla and letting the standards slip. BPB just wanted all the media to turn up on one single day to give it a great review for PR purposes, now they can give up on Valhalla again. Very disappointing.
Spot on. It was all a fake just for the media day. I feel that BPB management team has lied to us all about Valhalla. They have destroyed the ride it’s shocking and breaks down more now than it ever did. What does Amanda Thompson have to say about this disaster I wonder?
Bro at the end of the day it's just a ride. It's a great one but it's not a huge crisis if one day the effects aren't working. The ride operators can only do so much. I bet it was inconsistent over 20 yrs back
@@masterknife8423 Absolutely, where I have the issue is BPB deliberately making the ride out to be better than it is. Then as soon as they have had lots of positive media they go back to neglecting the ride. Its cheating guests who rightly expect the same experience as the vloggers and pay a lot of money to enter the park only to be let down
It’s frustrating that out of 5 rides on it, only 2 have been any good and even then they weren’t without issues.
I find it interesting that you say the post-MCBR section on The Big One is one of its roughest sections. I thought that Taziker retracked this whole section (or at very least a significant proportion of it) only a couple of years ago?
They didn’t do all of it, not even close.
It’s the section just before the track was replaced
We got off our first ride on Valhalla and knowing that Mark had issues with chicken I went straight to see him, he was not happy 😂
Still not over it 😂
great day with everyone, spoilt a bit by our long awaited ride on Valhalla with virtually nothing working and a breakdown, it was just stop n start lights full on then no lights and the only audio was please remain seated, so we got soaked for nothing. still a great day with great people CHEERS
It wasn’t a great experience on there at all. For two boats to crash together can’t be right. I’m sure if everything worked then it would be good.
Great weekend as always and lovely to see you both
Great to see you both 😁
Valhalla has a “Poseidon’s Fury” feel about it 😬
How? 😅
@@yourexperienceguide Refurb / overhaul, still not working. Wouldn’t surprise me if Valhalla is gone in a couple years if they can’t get it working properly. All we’ve heard since press day is that it just isn’t good enough 🤷♂️
I was waiting for Valhalla when it stopped working. I knew guys were stuck in there
It was frustrating
BENTLEY S FISH AND CHIP SHOP BRILLIANT WELL SAID
Top place
I know what you mean about the Big One. The section after MCBR is awful, one of the trains is worse than the other for it. I sit in the front row of a car, rear of any is rough. One of the trains has a very rough 4th car, I'm assuming it must have something different about the wheels
Don’t abbreviate
It’s in desperate need of a retrack
SID IS THAT YOU OF ICE AGE 😂😂😂
Caps lock broken?
@@yourexperienceguide no wanted to get my point across
@@scouseanproud9190 4/10 for trying, better grammar needed next time 😭
@@yourexperienceguide why u crying
@@scouseanproud9190 Crying in laughter at you 😂 “keyboard warrior an proud” should be your new UA-cam handle
I agree with Mark about Valhalla.. Should be removed! The Water Chute which was to the left of Valhalla was a better ride! Logflume was another better ride! Went on it when it opened in 2000 and maybe 2 more times. Take it down and put something else in its place!
I think it should have closed in 2020 after having a send off season
Disappointed to hear about Valhalla already slipping. As for the National and Big One comment, I totally agree. Unfortunately.
Big improvements needed all round
I have a feeling Valhalla's always been inconsistent for the past 23 years. What makes these days after the "reimagining" any different?
The biggest issues for riders/guests haven’t been resolved in my opinion
Hello its me 2023
Ello
Hello
If Valhalla is still having difficulties that's embarrassing.
From our experience on Saturday difficulties is an understatement
The biggest issues for riders/guests haven’t been resolved in my opinion, it’s not good
Went on Rugrats a few years ago and got soaked, later went on Valhalla didn't even get half as wet.
You’ll be the first to say that.
How? 😆
Must've been lucky with the seat for Valhalla, beware that log flume lol
So Valhalla is still not consistent and the BIG ONE and REV and GRAND NATIONAL a bit iffy
As far as Valhalla goes, the biggest issues for riders/guests haven’t been resolved in my opinion
HI
Hello
🚫🐓
😂
I kept telling you that the technical rehearsal was the actual finished ride, and you all made excuses about the ride. Now you see that the ride has been truly ruined following 3 years and £4 million being wasted by the Pleasure Beach management team. It’s a disgrace. Don’t waste your money at the Pleasure Beach go to Alton Towers it’s a million times better😊
You kept telling me something you’d made up, the tech rehearsals were a very different experience to that of the media day and yesterday. If you think Alton Towers is perfect then you’ve not been in sometime 😫
Alton Towers isn't exactly any better
But it wasn’t as I have been on and everything was working and it was top drawer. Fair enough if you like Towers more but don’t cast unfounded rumours on BPB!
