The last time I went to Blackoool, The Big One was the only big coaster in the park.

Yes, it's still there but it's changed since I was on it in 2010. The fire is now down to a bare minimum (after people complained) and they've added spikey rolling tree trunks, and a water tunnel after the second drop. Still good but not as good as it used to be.

Ive already said I've not been to Blackpool.

I remember being on a waltzer at ten year old....not even the noise of rue and the rockets..when the red light flickers, hold onto your knickers soundtrack could diminish the noise of my terror as I struggled with basic physics for the first time....I'm ashamed to say, they didn't even get to the second verse before they had to stop the ride so I could be eradicated, sobbing like a jessie from the horrific experience.

Where do you live Jake?

Haven’t been to Blackpool since about 2002! Used to go all the time as a kid in the mid 90’s about twice a year in the same hotel. Seemed amazing to me and my sister as we grew up in this sleepy Welsh village where there’s just countryside so to see all the illuminations, tower, trams, famous comedians/singers on at night in the theatres in town and on the piers, hustle and bustle etc it just seemed like New York or something Yano.

Basically lived in the Pleasure Beach back then, loved the big wooden rollercoaster! Most of the rides we went on have probably gone now - The Whip, Turtle Chase, Mad Mouse etc.

2010 was the last time i went and i'm sad they changed it. I'm going there in October but i'm glad it's still there.

The only noticeable difference is the fire, but other than that it's still good. Make sure you buy a poncho because you will get drenched when you go through the water tunnel. lol I'm sure you'll still enjoy it.

I hate most of the rides here. All the wooden ones hurt your back. The Big One was a horrible experience. Hate Infusion. Icon looks good. Was too scared to go on Revolution cause you have to walk up this metal staircase which feels like it's swaying from side to side. I like Val Halla and the plane ride is okay but I didn't spin around.

I went on Infusion years ago and never again. It felt like my head and legs were going to get ripped off because it's so powerful. Not a fan of that at all.
Revolution is good, but it's to short.

Why was your ride on the Big One a horrible experience? Was it the first drop of the whole thing in general?

Btw, We got on about 14 rides at Blackpool, so it's great value for money. Unlike places like Alton Towers and Flamingoland where you only get on about 6 because of the extra long queue's.
