Grand National (On Ride) At Pleasure Beach Blackpool

either they need to work on maintence or u need to hold a camera straight lol! i just saw a series of documentary... and wow they have it tough... all stressed out when something is not working lol!

Well believe me it isn't easy holding a camcorder on an old ride plus it has soo many fast turns and bumps that I don't think it's that bad.

kk and also its very dangerous to bring a camera on a ride :D And Predator here at Darien Lake used to be really rough because Six Flags (our owners from 1999-2006) did not keep up with maintence that well.... And once PARC bought the park they have been doing alot of retracking and it helped

I bet it helped. Amanda Thompson (the owner of Pleasure Beach Blackpool) doesn't really have maintenance done on rides that often. They only do it about once every year.

o boy... thats kinda stupid.... wait amanda thompson.... was she the owner before's daughter???

[AltonTowersChild]

All I know is it's a family run business and her dad (Geophrey Thompson) used to own the park before she did.

[RollerCoasterMaster2]

thats probably her.... she was a choregrapher for an ice show at the park or something.....

[AltonTowersChild]

Yes she was the choregrapher for the Hot Ice Show.

@RollerCoasterMaster2 I admit I got a little angry a while ago when I was younger about that comment, now I'm older I suppose it was a pretty fair and funny comment. Anyway I rerecorded this ride and I improved at my holding the camera skills a little. You can watch it if you want.
