GREAT PROGRAMME, BRINGS BACK MANY GREAT CHILDHOOD MEMORIES...Blackpool pleasurebeach, great rides but its so so much more expensive now!WHERES THAT 2ND MORTGAGE!
How do you work that out? It cost me £20 the other day. The price for the Big One was £4 a ride, £2 for other white knuckle rides. I went on the Big One once, Big Dipper twice, Wallace and Gromit, Derby Racer, Grand National twice, Avalanche twice and the Revolution. So accounting for 17 years of inflation and higher costs, it cost me less than it would've in 1998 because of the wristband!!!
@@pommiebearsamanda is actually really encouraging to the hot ice crew. there’s been some skaters in the show who’s done it for 10 years and still come back year after year. she gets a really bad rep but she’s just really passionate about her business and you need to have a strong head when it comes to business that’s how the park has continued to survive for 127 years
@@danielledewitt1 I actually won an employment tribunal against them and cost them millions cos they had to legally change everyone’s contract, they were a horrible exploitative employer paying 16 year olds £2 an hour for 12 hour shifts. I took them to court on my own and won
Could have done with JR yesterday when I was on the grand national and got held in the station for ages, he would have got the problem sorted. They sent an empty train round so must have been a glitch somewhere.
Last year (2012) Me and my parents got stuck at the end for about 10 mins. We were on with a record breaker and lucky we got a photo with him, His name is Richard Rodriguez. it was fun lol :)
Wow! Who is JR to make a decision on my life! What would have happened if they HAD discovered a live bomb, say five minutes before it was due to detonate?
Shes a drama queen. A real fear would never have allowed anyone to go on the ride no matter what amount of money. When she went on 2nd time that was the proof lol
Not necessarily, like one of my friends went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach in Year 8 but was terrified of rides; only came because it was the end of year trip and didn't want to be the only person still at school, but I made them go on the Alice In Wonderland ride to start them off, then the Blue Flyer and eventually they were riding rides like The Big Dipper I think it was over and over again as they realised it wasn't as scary as they had imagined. Of course it's not as big as the Pepsi Max or anything, but come on, if there was money involved youre likely to force yourself to do anything so long as its safe
@@coloradochinesecrest The IRA, who were active at the time, always gave code words when phoning in bomb threats. Without a code word it was almost guaranteed to be a hoax.
@@danielledewitt1 . Hate heights Danielle. Got stuck on the big wheel once at a fair, and had a panic attack at the top, tried to get out and climb down, steered clear of those places since then. I was only 14 at the time, 61 now and the horror of that memory lives on. :(
One of the worst shows I've ever seen. The countdown for the bomb going off was so wrong. In the last second showing a baby in the pram as to say, let's hope the baby isn't blown to bits, to bring drama to the show is just so incredibly manipulative. Disgusting. I wouldn't be surprised if the producer's of the show didn't just stage the whole thing. Disgusting.
Why, he’s not a billionaire leader of the free world who has millions of fans worldwide. The park manager is nothing like Donald Trump. Donald Trump does more for the US than the previous 5 presidents combines. How is that like the park manager? Is the park manager married to a super model ? Nope Try again fool
The pulp coming in at the end really took me back.
"A man with an irish accent phoned in a bomb warning". Ha big JR did it so he could get 45 mins peace with the feet up and a ciggy.
It's a Bristol or Devonshire accent

@@pigsymagic4741 Sounds like a Irish Traveller accent to me which can sound a bit West Country.

+Jack A it was £4 in 1998 i mean.. the individual prices meant it cost more.
Kevin Proctor No it isn’t.
She just trying to make sure the show goes well and gets a good review shes doing her job!!
Emily Whitehead Oh so being an idiot to the dancers is ok. Her insulting then is ok in you’re book?
the dancers literally said that she encourages them
Dom wpc they had to say that..lol. Come on now.

"Fistfulls of Portuguese escudos" I feel so old 😕 then again I was 11 whenI first saw this
I love the pleasure beach!!!
My old teacher was like amanda
A complete bitch & control freak you mean? :)
We all miss Gefforey!:(
My uncle quit working at the pleasure beach after just 6 months of working there because Amanda was utterly unbearable lol.
That I can believe.
Bad enough - but to be fair she is responsible for icon
Traumatising that poor girl for TV. That was the 90's ruthless lol.
Anyone know what that Portuguese game show is called?
I worked here around this time, was good fun
I’m guessing Amanda was vile to you.

I can believe that Amanda is very bad temper
She runs the place now.
lol that woman is a comedy sketch
I believe they teamed up with them to offer some kind of season tickets.. beyond that I think it's still family owned...
tried so hard to get on camera, was a cashier in 97 :D
Did you manage to?
Health and safety at work pub yor hard hat on
@ModernWarfare3xXx it's working on my phone dude?
Couldn't agree more, the pleasure beach used to be a fantastic family tradition for all of my family growing up, now we all avoid the place
CrowdSurfin Why, it’s still a great place.
Oh don't be so negative it's still a great amusement park
19:31 There was Stargate music playing at the Ice Show? Wow.....
who told you that? never said it on the BPPB website or any other form of information that I can find.

its working for me!
'THE BIG MAN' sat in his office when the bombs due to go off. . . . . yeah ok.
greeneyesv2 It was a hoax, there was no bomb.
The point is...JR did not know it was a hoax, he was just assuming that there wasn't a real bomb...in the comfort of his office.
@@coloradochinesecrest Which he was right.

How can they give a skater who falls on her arse star billing? just cut out the routine or give it to someone who can do it
what are the magic words?
Please and thank you
fingers crossed!
4:25 worst commentator ever, so boring " and it's happened again, the double axel" xD
Yeah, the Olympic announcers aren't known for their enthusiasm... They might been seen as biased towards a certain country.
Would'nt get me on that bloody ride for 50 billion quid, never mind a paltry £500.00.

Kim Grattage why its fine
hmm, are you sure friend? what if they get rid of the parks rides? loos its character but i know it would help the park out a lot.
MRtoast Then the park would shut down. I say keep the rides.
JR being a martyr....I hate that. He could have had hundreds killed that night.

@@danielledewitt1 you are the idiot
@@rapman5363 No I’m not. There was no bomb.
