    Thanks Coaster Dad, I remember going downhill at a hell of a rate as my cousin struggled to use the brakes !!

      Ha ha the “controls” were interesting. The cars had a mind of their own 😂

    Pity, I used to curse not being tall enough to drive them myself, had to wait a few years.

      Really curious what they plan to do with the space 🤔

    Just heard they're closing the ride, typical Blackpool. Loved the place as a kid, but now it's like hell in England. Thinking of making a video, after I wipe my tears, waah waah. 😂

      Ha ha. It was a weird way to announce it. And who knows what’s next 🤷‍♂️

    Was a relaxing ride must of been much better when it was petrol. I will miss it

      Interesting that it’s closed all 2024. There were rumours it’s on the chopping block. Maybe this is confirmation 😔

      I went on this in the 70's when it was petrol driven .It was really noisy and good fun.You could brake and speed up etc.

      Do you know if its exactly the same track it was in Petrol days, I remember going on it but the track looks different.

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Před 4 měsíci +1

      @jimmylawson6014 not 100% sure. I suspect some bits have been modified as other rides were added but I think it’s mostly the same.

    God i Loved this as a teen in the 80's then taking my Son in the 90's. Really looks dilapidated though. Most of the wood is rotted. Probably closed due to safety issues. BPB used to be an amazing place, but now just seems run down.

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I am curious to see what they replace this with.

    Shocking decision it’s part of history that’s terrible!

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Před 4 měsíci +1

      It’s a tricky one. I’m worried about them removing a lot of heritage but at the same time this was very unreliable and often closed so I can see why they’d want to use the space. That said it all depends on what they plan to replace it with 🤔

    Is that as fast as it goes?

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Před měsícem

      It was yeah. It used to be a very casual ride. But it closed permanently earlier this year and they’ve not announced what’s replacing it yet.

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Yeah sadly they confirmed on Twitter it’s being replaced

    • @PacificCoastRoleplay1

      But hopefully replacing with a more thrilling ride

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Před 5 měsíci

      @LCRRP_Liberty_County_Reborn_RP we can hope. But I’m not going to hold my breath 🙈

      Apparently, blackpool wanna take back the title for the biggest drop ride. As Thorpe Park resort will take 1st spot with the ride called Hyperia opening on April 2024.

    • @coaster_dad
      @coaster_dad  Před 5 měsíci

      @kierenlittle8176 mmmmm that’ll take years of planning and a tonne of cash. Will be interesting to see what they do
