Blue Peter at Blackpool 1980s

[SEAWEEDER1]

The woman on the right at 2.26 just lost her teeth thanx to her friends driving.

[PancakeTVHD]

That ride they went on is now called the iron brew :)

[penninefilms]

That ride has gone know.

[meganchalloner1995]

omg i didnt know yvette fielding was on blue peter!!

[ladyclyro11]

I remember that Octopus ride it was fab

[QStarProductions]

Wow, the old lady is brave, she rode avalanche!!! And said it was brilliant! Old people SHOULD go on rides! But beware the girls, they give y'all a headache! And no, I'm not from texas

[KingsCoffeeCo]

Yvette was actually quite fit back then. And now..

[MarmaladeNoodle]

it looks so strange with no big one

[andrewbarrett42]

Revolution is still the best rollercoaster there.

[Soccerman166]

pleasure beach, the very best ever,all my childhood memories were there, its still amazing.

[koolkillax]

LOL I don't know whats more annoying Yvette screaming on a Revolution ride or Yvette screaming in a haunted grave yard in the dead of night with pitch black darkness! Jokin' Jokin' =D

[KingsCoffeeCo]

Am I the only one who thinks Yvette actually looks weirdly sexy in this clip from the park? It's really strange! : /

[hardcoretilldie313]

@MissPandaCrazy Irn Bru sponsored it the following decade

[hybird55]

Lol at her reaction to avalanche look at the size of it Id like to see her on stealth

[MiniToasty1]

avalanche 30 years old? god!

[phoobingcamel]

@MiniToasty1 22 years old, it opened in 1988 :-)

[gallafey]

And Yvette is still screemin her head off in Most Haunted

[rightfredsdead]

3:54 i think mrs thompsons chaperones seating arrangement most inappropriate.

[ukridesinfo]

@rightfredsdead LOL - thats Geoffrey!

[williamthomas1997]

look at 2:24 that must hurt

[Splitskirts]

At least there Yvette had a real reason to scream !!! Regards.

[EstherColemanFan]

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! WHIP LASH!!!!

2:25

[TVloverXx]

The Big One is the most awesomist ride! :O

[wizzwamf]

the two ferris wheels together on the earlier footage i think one was remaining and was cranked by mr funshine the mascot of the pleasure beach, on the side of it in the late 70 s early eighties ,

there is also a kids ride in the park arcade next to the noahs ark the carousel went up to the roof as you went round on it , its still there me and me sis went on it as kids ,health and safety wouldnt allow it now ,the same place housed its a wonderful world of entertainment

[LeShark75]

Brilliant footage, looks miles better without The Big One.

[coolcabbage43]

WTF the big one is the icon ride!

[LeShark75]

@coolcabbage43 , Sorry mate let me fill you in. I spent a lot of time on the Pleasure Beach as a child in the 80's and I have very fond memory's of the way it used to look. As a child you would think wow that Big Dipper looks huge, not any more LOL.

[coolcabbage43]

Yea i like the classics but its like saying "get rid of the big one because it spoils the park". and it doesn't!!! it actually brings more people to the park!

[LeShark75]

@coolcabbage43 Its a classic case of things move on at the end of the day and like you say it brings people to the park which is a good thing. I remember being annoyed when the Monster was remove to make room for the then called Play station. Each to there own I suppose.

[samholdsworth]

i love how geeky she is in this lol

[thewotsit]

Mark Curry what a legend! And as others have said, 2:26 is just hilarious.

[djfireball999]

Mack Bobsleds are always fun :)

[jadh92]

[leeofbacup]

hahahahaha, i did not notice that at first! i nearly spilt me cup of tea when i saw it.... one of the funniest things i seen all week...

[coolcabbage43]

How come it counted down efore they were even strapped in?

[sunnysoundblackpool]

Yvette Fielding favorite ride is the ghost train

[TheDoctor46UK]

RIP Doris and Geoffrey Thompson

[kaylillyntwig2k9]

[booneboon]

[voiceofreason2008]

back then them rides shown were state of the art

now there are nothing in comparison

still i remember the show where yvette was screaming on TV LOL it was funny, but my god it was like 20/21 years ago i was 5!! :O!

[TheFamilySlitheen]

Ms. Thompson will always be remembered. She tested every ride, even the Ice Blast.  A legend.

[barraka00]

whos ms thompson

[windowspczone]

I mean, she is the Daughter of the Person who make the Pleasure Beach

[danfobia89]

R.I.P Mrs Thompson

[EssKaiiAndKat]

[AnnieCullenxx]

1:08 NOW IT EFFING KILLS AFTERWARDS

[AnnieCullenxx]

OMG blackpool looks ol, the rides look boring, now there OMFG!

[ATLCoasterMan]

Ms. Thompson is the greatest

[celticmarty1888]

oh ok cheers 4 dat i faut da revolution wsnt safe

btw s it good nd is da q long

[martyman2k8]

on the revolution dey pulled der bars down in the last 2 seconds nd den it was off not that safe nd they have new bars dese days

[coasterollie]

It didn't really it was the way it was cut. They start playing the sound from the next cut early so it's a quicker transition. You can see when the camera goes in front they've moved around and everyone is in place ready.

[windowspczone]

they wern't synced together. The Audio was recorded then put on top of that area of the video

[wizzkidsodi09]

best vid eva

[DeanGaryCox]

omg on the irn bru revolution they didnt even chek the bars were done on them

[fanofheadroom]

it was good to see a view of the old fun house shame its not there anymore

[SheRidesABroomStick]

Yvette's just pure legend! :D

[peediefry]

just to think she came back years later to the pleasure beach to find out its meant to be haunted. LOL

[swallowgames]

Can't wait! Goin on saturday! woohoo!

[07stothersc]

the monster lol i remember that

[DavidLancaster1974]

Brilliant vid! Fun to see what has changed and what is the same. One of the best vids I've seen of BPB. It captures the excitement of the rides.

[Ashbpb]

Brill Vid, good footage of the Log Flume at the start and its nice to see the Grand National running the old trains.

[vertiis]

Yvette's a screamer, eh?

[mistofoles]

I'd like to find out if that's true! :D

[littlechuckyfan1]

yvette had a funny scream.nowadays the hills on the grand national seem bigger.

[ashes1one]

Apparently Yvette Fielding is now worth £21 Million :-|

[JonnyInfinite]

@ashes1one ....and Mark Curry is gay

[MostHauntedRules]

omg yvette is sooo different lmao

[mosthauntedfan2k8]

when yvette scream's when she is going back down on the resoultion she was like me

[mosthauntedfan2k8]

LOL yvette's scream on the reveltion ride (which is now called irn bru revoultion) is soooooooo funny and the other thing is that 22 years l8r yvette investigated the ghost train

[j4wn]

Avalanche opened in 88 and is still one of the best rides. Kinda looks bare without The 'Big One' don't you think?

[TinfishUK]

wow what a lol at how yvette has changed not her screaming though nothing changes there mark curry was great on blue peter where is he now?

[WakeyRollercosterBoy]

No safty checks on the Revolution

[mistofoles]

Exactly! They're supposed to check everybody's safely harnessed BEFORE they start the countdown!!

[windowspczone]

i think the they wern't synced together. the Countdown will of been at another time.

[hunnibud]

awee i'm in australia now but i do remember blue peter and i'll never forget the trips with family to blackpool. it was magical back then. i gotta say though..the lady that looses her hat and prob had whiplash at 2.26 made me kill myself laughing heheheheh. thx for this upload i enjoyed it very much.

[mosthauntednerd]

Wow, her voice is SO annoying on this. Lol.

[ukridesinfo]

- they gave nearly everyone a thumbs down... so its some sad case somewhere!!

[fraserkatie]

Do you get the feeling they are behaving like kids? LOL!

[ukridesinfo]

LOL - I love you too!!

C xxxx

[019joby]
