This is teh view you can expect in September pal:





























Just a few action shots i snapped with my Canon

Anyone fancy meeting up one weekend for a Pleasure Beach excursion when Petrucci comes over to Blackpool? Make it memorable for him?

Maybe go for a few beers in the evening? Possibly....

Seriously Jim, if you wanna come for the hell of it i will personally guarantee you no one will force you anywhere pal, i have lots of mates who dont do coasters and just chill out watching the rest of us. Grown Ups only need apply.

That looks awesome . Went to blackpool once before and did them all but the scariest thing was the swingy thing on the pier where they winch 3 of you up and you pull the cord and swing down (mugging here had to pull the cord )

that sounds like a cracking idea Stu - i'll see if Northern Rail are still doing the "2 for one offer" - this entitles you to buy one wristband for the pleasurebeach for all the rides, and get another one FREEEEEEEE

How about it fellow southerners?

I absolutely LOVE blackpool

Anyone going defo has to get their arse on The Big One
The revolution is cool too , Not too sure about the wooden coasters tho always feels llike the cart is gonna fall to bits - But maybe thas part of the thrill



Also much better than Alton Towers queue wise






As well as enough Bars n Clubs to keep ya goin from Dusk til Dawn
