For anyone that shops at tesco and has a clubcard... You can currently swap £7.50 in vouchers for a 1 day full admission wristband that is valid for 6 months. Saves quite a bit of money!

I must say a big well done to Pleasure Beach for extending from 8pm - 10pm today. Hopefully we will see this more often.
The whole park was 10pm? Was the ticketed jubilee event on?

The Jubilee event was on, but they just closed that area off at 8pm from the public. The remainder of the park stayed open till 10pmAstroDan wrote: The whole park was 10pm? Was the ticketed jubilee event on?

Wow. That's quite amazing.
No other UK park would do that.

BBPB is amazing for changing opening times! Thats what is so great about it, especially when its been raining for the morning and they wan't more guests to come, so they open hours longer! Its fantastic!
However, from my expereince, Pleasure Beach staff, are the rudest and unproductive staff, within the amusment park business within the UK, I suppose its because the Pleasure beach is run like a fun fair, than of a theme park!
Thats, in my opinion, its only down side!

In my experiences, PBB have always been quite good and talkative, and on my visit last month I had some football banter with the Big Dipper staff.
Out of curiosity, which team did some of them support, I'd imagine Blackpool :PRitadz wrote:

Blackpool remains the only park I have ever been to where ride staff have told me to '~~~~ Off' - after I crashed on Grand Prix.

Quite a regular occurance - I'm often told to politely "Jump Off" if there's two cars in the stationAstroDan wrote: Blackpool remains the only park I have ever been to where ride staff have told me to '~~~~ Off' - after I crashed on Grand Prix.

Saying that, I'm actually wondering where you bumped? The sensors are quite reliable on the Prix.
This was 4 years ago. I can't remember!

Yeah it was nice to see the park extending hours... However, ride throughputs were terrible ALL DAY. When your signature attraction gets through only approx 626 people per hour running a 2 train service somethings not quite right is it?TPE wrote: I must say a big well done to Pleasure Beach for extending from 8pm - 10pm today.

Gone of the days when BBPB was run like a fun fair and therefore throughput was main priority because if it was slow or broken the park would loose money, but literally no one buys tokens anymore, so they have no need to rush now! Which is pathetic, hints of Merlin Parks coming through?

The staff aren't perfect, but they certainly aren't as bad these days as they were four or five years ago to be fair.
I think they get a lot of negative press because of a past reputation, the staff were great last year and a lot of people praised them, but it seemed to go unnoticed outside of the PB fan community.
