- We went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and rode all the rides on a quiet day in late August 2023. In this vlog as well as talking about the rides, we chat about the possibility of a new season pass structure at Pleasure Beach.

Top vlog guys. Enjoyed that.👌🏼
Thank you 😊
Loved it when Mike was falling asleep on the train 😂😂❤
It was a tiresome day 😂
Big one as a walk on during summer holidays is quite shocking
It was a surprise
Thank you for blog👍
😊
Enjoyed your video, thank you guys. Haven't done PB for years but planning on September sometime. So want to do Big One but I will definitely follow your tip and do it later in the day. Keep up the great work guys, thank you.
Have a great visit 😀
Another great Vlog. I like the 'Hints & Tips' you give about getting the best from your day at the park, especially the paper tickets and riding the Big One later in the day. Pleasure Beach will need to tread very carefully with the pricing of their Season Pass during the cost of living crisis or it could come back and bite them in the wotsits.
Thank you, we like to give out tips that we've found to be helpful over the years so anyone watching has a good experience whenever they visit. We prefer to do this rather than continually review every coaster 😅
Loved it! I was here the same day as you❤
We hope you had a great time
Great vlog! I really enjoyed the train ride that both of you guys were riding on!
Thank you
Makes notes ready for my first ever visit in September - absolutely can't wait!
You’ll have a blast.
Have an excellent time 😊
Great vlog guys Third video watched from you as a newbie here, keep up the great work
Thank you 😊
Great vlog 👍, interesting to hear about next seasons passes. In regards to secondary spending we usual use the onsite Burger King restaurant
Thank you, had a BK there yesterday and it was good.
Brilliant vlog
Thank you!
Excellent Vlog As Always! I’m Going On The 31st For The First Time In A While (With My Family). Excited As Hell!
I Actually Met You Guys In 2019, Just Came To My Head Besides The Big One Queue Looking The Same On My 17th July Visit With My School From Revolution.
Thank you, have an excellent time
Mike, how can that be comfortable? 🤣🤣 Great vlog as always and another interesting discussion!!! See you guys in September x
Mike can sleep anywhere 😂
Its nice to see the full offering at Blackpool Pleasure Beach again with the return of Valhalla this year and Big Dipper back from overhaul it certainly is one of the best seasons for the park. What project could be next for pleasure beach for me personally I would like to see Blackpool pleasure beach rennovate the FY4 area, maybe a new coaster to take back the height record for the UK with something like a Gerstlauer Hyper Coaster.

Some say…..Mike is still lapping the Pleasure Beach Express, because Scott didn’t wake him at the end. 😂😂
Great vlog guys
Something like that 😂
The problem with a third of a year pass is that it doesn't really benefit people that live long distances away. I am over 2 hours drive away and visit about 6 times a year but want to spread that over the whole season. As far as a full year season pass goes, I think £150 would be my absolute limit as a renewal price.
BPB have got to strike a balance between making it profitable but not losing all their pass holders
Great blog, we always use the tickets, they're easier, my daughter came off the grand national at the back and hurt her neck, but love the pb only live 20 mins away so we are always there, we always get season passes because their all yhe time and my daughter is a fan club member
Worth keeping an eye out for our events at BPB too 🎢
Really good VLOG guys. I know you guys have been doing these for a very long time now but this year the quality / chemistry is much better, I have been chuckling away far more. The film work with the interlaced off ride shots are much better as well this year.
Please put that BBC interview on your channel, I cannot find it anywhere.
Thank you, and I didn’t see the coverage sadly
Thanks 4 sharing great vlog funny mike was very sleepy on the train haha I'm with u Scott hotice is fab it's just not 4 me as ice skating really lovely show very talented
They’re incredibly talented, it’s just not for me really ⛸️
It was great to see you yesterday near Valhalla
Hope you had a good day 🎢
Last three trips I've had to BPB I've managed to be first in the queue for the Big One (does involve a run) and never experienced an issue with sandbags. Back in June park opened at 11 and I was on it by 1105.
It's not that it's an issue, it's just something that slows down the queue in the morning and isn't a new thing.
Why is scanning on to the rides a thing anyway, doesn't everyone have to pay to get in to the park.
An ongoing complaint from many
Agreed, I don’t like having to scan every time i want to go on a coaster. Especially when they don’t even scan your ticket half the time and slow operations down
Another top vlog. The season pass at present is a steal. I’ve been twice this year paying £75 so if I go next week a pass would have paid its way for me this year.
They’re such good value, and thank you 🙏
Great stuff! I noticed on Wednesday they’ve finally given up with the video portrait of the scary woman in the Ghost Train and replaced it with an a static portrait (the frame still shakes though).
Oh interesting! I should really go on the Ghost Train, it's been ages since I did it 😵
I'm going blackpool tomorrow I'm so excited
Enjoy it. Love the place.
Have a good time
Enjoy 🎢
Better weather than the 23rd 😬. Totally agree about the Nic Streak, I felt like I’d been assaulted when I git off it.
The park was definitely busy on the 23rd too a great atmosphere but long lines ( we were gifted tickets lucky) or it would have been a disappointment for getting on the rides .
So funny watching mike nodding off 🥱🥱😴😴. Nice to Finally meet you too Mike 😁🤝🧱👍🏽
I'm really surprised Nick Streak has got SO bumpy, the third drop wouldn't be out of place on the Nash 😂
Can't thank PBP for reintroducing the paper tickets..now let's bring back walk round park admission at a fiver to bring back that revenue 😊
It’s a handy thing to do, and agree about the entry pass
Hello Scott and Mike
Hopefully pleasure Beach keep the season passes too incude fright nights Halloween all in one for around £180 as after 4 or 5 visits to the park then it's technically free there after too enter the park so the passes would definitely be worth it
Thanks Scott and Mike
It’ll be interesting to see how they do it. Thanks Simon 🙏
I’m not a season pass holder but am considering next year depending on pricing, that is based on current costs though so will see what they do. I hate the seasonal idea, especially when you have such a bad summer on weather like this has been. Sure you’ll have the update as and when so will keep an eye on your channel 😊
I think they’ll offer seasonal and a full season pass (if that makes sense) 😅
@@yourexperienceguide cheers, yeah of course that makes total sense. I was drunk when I posted so couldn’t think straight 🤣

Love pleasure beach
We all do 😂
Going today can't wait I'm going to go on icon lots today lol
Have a fab day and let us know what the queues were like.
Have an excellent time
@bunkerboy02 I don't have to queue lol I get a easy pass because I'm disabled
brill viewing and honest comments, season pass debate is a suck it and see with us BUT the highlight of the vlog for us was the anticipation of waiting till Mike finally had his power nap, He got a big YAY from us when he did cheers still laughing
Haha thank you 😅 The Big Dipper party wore us both out, Hot Ice was a struggle lol
I'm going tomorrow
Enjoy
I just went to pleasure beach
Did you enjoy it?
Regarding the season passes, next year we were planning on stopping our merlin passes and renewing our BPB ones but if the prices turn out to be comparable it’ll be the merlin ones we continue - theres just so much more on offer for the price. Friends and family woukd be a massive bonus like my dad doesn’t come because he wouldn’t do most of the rides but BPB would more than make up for it in secondary spending on his grand kids and I wonder if theres a lot of families like this now the walk round ticket isn’t available where a season pass with F& F offer would be an attractive option 🤔
The walk round pass should be reintroduced, even if it's just for off peak days.
I remember the PB ticket books. My dad got them at a reduced rate from his works.
Good times
@@yourexperienceguide They were. The laughing clown, the excitement of when the Rev was built and my favourite ride ever, the Gold Mine (RIP!)
with a standad seasson pass for blackpool pleasure beach do you just pay for the pass and then can you visit the park anytime you want
Yeah, one price and then gives us entry all season
i got a paper ticket and it saved my phone battery a lot so thanks for telling me that
It makes a massive difference 😊
Is Big One capable of running with 3 trains at once I know in order to do that there needs to be more block sections than there is trains and I believe Big one does have 4 block sections Station, Lift Hill, Mid Course and Final Brakerun.
Unfortunately hasn’t run 3 trains with the public on since 2001, it however was regularly tested on 3 trains before opening up to around 2017.
I was there I saw u multiple times!
Thank you for watching and commenting
@@yourexperienceguide I was there at Blackpool I saw you there when I was!!!
@@yourexperienceguide I saw you whilst I was at Blackpool on the 26th I saw the beautifal fireworks and all the drones that were there for some reason
In away I agree with the price increase. But cause we paid for the season, we are able to have more spend per head when we visit, plus I hate making sandwiches,
They don’t allow any food to be taken in 🥪
Ah I hated Pepsi max so much I was so scared 😅
That's a shame
Great vlog loved it... I have a solution for icon. Have an extra train with just Enzo experience. Seperate que and a fiver extra to ride.. Come on pleasure beach sign me upto your marketing team.. Also get rid of ice blast and replace with a bigger drop tower and close steeple chase and replace with a themed adult log flume rather than the one in nickland. What do u recon?.
Another idea.. Bring Disney on ice to pleasure beach it would sell out 2 shows a day throughout the summer season EASY...Amanda Thompson I know you read get them booked😅
ICON can’t run on 4 trains
@@yourexperienceguide I was thinking more 3 trains.. They need to do something as running at best 60% capacity. You know yourself Scott that's not a great buisness model. Especially when we all want new rides which cost fortunes. Icon still could of been marketed better as is a great ride. Look at how much was spent on marketing the big one.
season passes have got to go up, ppl talk about the walk around pass coming back etc and how the park should bring it back yet have a £99 pass for the year thats 2/3 trips n probz dont secondry spend in park n go out for food etc passes are far to cheap !
Yesterday I probably dropped about £80 in secondary spend (speedy pass, 2 meals, drinks etc), but I agree that pass holders can enter and exit the park without spending anything at all.
i was there with you i saw u i wanted to say hi
i was infront of u in the nickelodeon streak queue
We hope you had a good day
Good vlog and interesting thoughts on the season pass things. Hopefully they don’t make it too complicated though.
Love that Mike guy but he’s worryingly unhealthy.
Hopefully some season pass news soon 🤞
i know how mike feels i don't like walking up hills and stairs
Nobody does lol
Looks very quiet
It was 😮
They do need to introduce a ticket for non riders to walk around. We went as a family last week and the grandparents opted out because £30 each to watch the kids on the rides is a non starter. Why do you need to scan a code when riding? If you’re in the park you’ve obviously paid so why the extra jumping through hoops?
Data collection (unfortunately)
ON THURSDAY IT WAS ONLY 3,600 BEFORE WALK INS SO IT WAS QUIET. FRIDAY HAD 4,800 BEFORE WALK INS
Quiet days
