I was on Blackpool Pleasure Beach with 2 mates (although one only part time) - and didn't bump into anybody I recognised.

Ride Count

Big Dipper 1
Infusion 2
PMBO 1
Ghost Train 1
Steeplechase 1
Bling 2
Rev 1
Avalanche 1
Roller Coaster 3
Pleasure Beach Express 1
Gold Mine 1
Monorail 1
Nash 2
Zipper Dipper 1
Space Invader 1
Valhalla 1
Derby Racer 1 (I'd forgotten quite how fast this goes round)

Highlights

A pleasant day, despite an unfavourable weather forecast. And reasonable queues for most rides.

And I have learned how to ride infusion without bashing my ears Razz

Lowlights

Only one train on PMBO, meaning long queue times. And just missing a second ride, because I had not noticed its closing time being 30 minutes ahead of the rest of the park.

Breakdown on Nash when we had actually got onto the train. (But they did get it fixed and re-opened later)

Big Dipper breakdown (co-incidentally at same time as Nash) which was not resolved that day.

I was on the Big Dipper just before it broke down for the day.

The train went up the lifthill very slow and was jerking about a bit as well. Shame as it had zero queue at the time as well Sad
