Are Blackpool Pleasure Beach planning to build a new record breaking ride? In a recent article it was stated that a new ride will be replacing the Grand Prix ride, and promises to take guest experience to unprecedented heights. So does this mean we’re going to see the Pleasure Beach taking back the UK height record?

They should bring back wild mouse 🐁 back brand new wooden roller coaster
Nice update, nice speculation, think a new height coaster is possible, think this is what Blackpool Pleasure Beach are aiming for, aiming to retake the tallest coaster in the UK back. Not sure about Europe aswell, but be epic if done that aswell. I think it will be one of those types, but I also think it will be an RMC Steel Coaster? This is what I would love to see with theming on it? Whether its compacted or custom layout, would also like to see a GCI Wooden Coaster built in park aswell again with theming surrounding it. Think ride you stated about with its own pier and outside park. That would be epic and amazing new addition for locals, UK & park, but cannot see that happening honestly. I don't think they will go for another Mack as they have one already, so yeah probs go for Intamin maybe? RMC? Maybe a GCI or maybe not a coaster, but a new flat ride or dark ride? Could surprise us all and build a indoor and outdoor coaster? But who knows? But do think they want to take the height record back 100%, think whatever it will be, it could be tall & maybe faster than Hyperia? But nice vlog, enjoyed and look forward to the future of this park. Cheers. 😀👍
I haven't heard of the Bigger one rumours before but it sounds like such an amazing idea 🤩
Could be like Stealth, let's say 240ft high. Would take back the highest and fastest ride again. Would be amazing wouldn't it guys. Guess we will have to wait and see.!!
The “bigger one” would be amazing but any large coaster would need designing, then planning permission then building, so it may take some time.
I was thinking B&M with a dive coaster
Or even something like an extreme spinner by Mack, that would be brilliant
Can't stand amanda thompson
Probably a Star Flyer? The only problem with one of those is windy operations?
Funtime drop tower, starflyer or booster king size
I’d like to see a big giroswing like Loki at Liseberg. I think pleasure beach have enough rollercoasters . Although it would be nice to see infusion replaced maybe .
Put in Do Dodonpa
my guess is that they'll move SkyForce to be where Ice Blast is, and then in this new space they'll build a new taller drop tower, and update the plaza around it to be more spacious
Could it be something that fits in to that name they copyrighted a few years ago? Was it a rumoured big wheel?
I just think people are reading too much into the headline, surely if they’re removing what’s basically a kids ride, it can only be replaced by another kids ride, maybe a small coaster at most, but I can’t see it been anything major
A good idea would be an s&s air launch coaster that takes the uk height record and also worlds fastest accelerating launch since do dodonpa has now closed.
What is your best flat ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
i think in the grand prix spot they will put a vekoma family boomerang and a few years later they add a vekoma super boomerang/sky rocket two near wild mouse and trauma towers was imo
Why not a B&M dive machine? That would really bring in the crowds!
What a shame about the Grand prix. 😢
I mean, hopefully, whatever this new heights ride is, is actually measured from the base of the ride not sea level.
She made it clear she doesn’t know yet so why you questioning it? 😂😂
I'd like to see a ride like F.L.Y, I think something like that would be cool, or an RMC Raptor.
Agree with your researchee choices.
My thoughts 2027 is along time for BPB (resort!!) to limp along with its current line up whilst several other UK major parks are really pulling the stops out.
So could the next ride actually be uk's tallest "flat ride" (weird expression) which could be up & & running in 2025 ?
Great video, I’ve subscribed 🎉
What a time to be alive as an enthusiast…so many fantastic rides imminent
I’d love to see a GCI like Zambezi Zinger, with the curved lift hill to pay homage to the Grand Prix spirals
Get Rmc coaster in bpb
I think it could be a B&M Dive Coaster. They could fit one in that space and make it the highest dive coaster in the world
Amanda comes across as a bit of a stroppy cow with how she worded that tweet. Ridiculous way to treat your customers. 🙁
When the grandprix was open it always was popular, as much as it be exciting to have another rollercoaster I hope they replace it with a 'modern' version of it. Maybe a more quicker version of it like the Cars ride in florida, But great video 😊
I said when Thorpe announced Hyperia, they’ve left themselves at a huge risk of not having the “UK’s tallest” for too long. It’s only 31ft taller than Stealth for a start, and I could definitely see BPP getting planning permission for something around the 250ft mark, it’s just whether they can afford it
A taller launch rollercoaster than Stealth would be good. It's unlikely to be taller than Kingda Ka though.
I wonder if the bigger plan involves Merlin Ents. at some point, been rumbling for a few years especially last season with so many contractors on site doing off season works. Either way intriguing to see how it pans out.
i would prefer a wonderful funtime tower with max. height
Does Blackpool pb have a hight limit?
Could be an RMC there pretty cheap
I feel like BPB is our last chance at getting an RMC in the UK. I don't think it's likely, but if it were up to me… that'd be it. A Vekoma sit down or vertical launch coaster would be my second choice. We need something that's a great ride with a decent length in this country (where Hyperia falls short for me is that it's over in a sneeze) RMC/Vekoma definitely get my vote.
