Pleasure beach really are digging a grave for themselves selling another one of there major thrill rides. there selection for thrillseakers is now starting to dwindle. :banghead


Well we always needed more cafe's there. It's such a shame as I used to really adore this park... I think I will be doing alittle more in Europe next year

Wasn't Bling under-maintained though at BPB? If so, it's probably a saving grace for the ride, hopefully it will be looked after now.

I think that Bling was dying 3 years ago, and yeah I understood that it was given very little mintenance. It is an old style ride now, so would be of limited appeal elsewhere.

It wouldn't be a first for them to sell a ride that doesn't work. We all remember hornets nest at Light Water Valley

Its a shame that Bling wasn't ever running on optimal performance as the ride was actually quite good.

Bling would have been a good ride in the dark with special effects like big screens and lighting

It was a good ride, but suffered badly at Blackpool.

For those of you who may not know, it has been replaced by a high diving show.

Just making everybody aware that the official Facebook page now has pictures of the high diving show. Including people on fire diving. It looks quite good actually. Staging could be a bit better but not bad at all.

Didn't BPB have a similar diving show back in the 90's? I'm a bit sceptical as to why they've brought one back, as it's a bit of a novelty.
