'It's a joke...'
Frustrated theme park fans have hit out after Blackpool Pleasure Beach reopened today with several rides not running.
Amanda, who is the great-granddaughter of Blackpool Pleasure Beach's founder, broke the news in a Tweet this morning that read: “Wishing all the Pleasure Beach team a fantastic 2024 season. Thank you for all your hard work in getting the park ready. I am so sorry the #BigOne isn’t quite ready….. that was truly beyond my control.”
The news has been met with fury from fans of the park who have questioned why they were not told in advance that the rides would not be open on the resort’s website or social media pages."Charging more today than a 10am-10pm day and one of the signature rides isn't available and was never going to be available. You must understand how that hurts?”
A spokesperson from Pleasure Beach Resort said ‘The Big One’, which is the UK’s tallest roller coaster, has suffered a sensor malfunction and offered anyone who visited the park today a chance to return tomorrow for free. The logo has also changed to yellow writing with a navy blue background, a difference in their previous branding of blue writing on a white background.
