Gold Rush (New for 2024)

[James no5]

Could we see something like Enso for Icon at Blackpool Pleasure Beach? (Hopefully it’s not as expensive if it is this)

It probably will be expensive

 

[Elise]

was at the park this morning looked around the site and decent progress and even more supports have arrived!, most exciting was this tag on the supports...

Did you walk up to the supports or something? (If so, were they in a "public accessible' area? )

More track supports have arrived

With the rate of construction I suspect that over the closed season, we will go back to the park in February half term and there will be a rollercoaster just there as if like magic

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

management did say to me back in May that ground work and footers would go in at the end of summer but the coaster going vertical after the main season has finished so guests going to the Christmas event will see the coaster get installed.

Testing will be done weather permitting in Jan and up to Feb half term when the theme park is closed to keep it a secret.

it was took from behind a fence which goes up to the side of the supports as seen in this picture then i zoomed in on the tag which anyone can access!

 

[Charliie]

I’m curious , what’s the project name for the coaster that’s on the tag ? It’s too blurry when zoomed for me

 

[CoasterEnthusiast]

Could the toilet building be a barn that it goes through, like a farm themed coaster?

The Top Box is "SPINNING COASTER COLLUMN - PROJECT 6676" and the Third one down is "Spinning coaster Drayton Manor"

 

[Stevie]

Wonder what coaster we’re gonna get from their catalogue now? The leaked lift and launch model didn’t have spinning cars as an option afaik.

Thankyou so much

it does I watched the video and whilst the video doesn’t if you click the link in the description, it then shows you the option.

 

[MPDarby]

The spinning cars if they can be programmed, goes along with what Victoria was saying. Perhaps they can have them forwards for part of the day, backwards others & spinning at times too. Would explain what she was saying how it would be different ride experience when you ride at different times of the day.

I may be way off with my thoughts but it does make some sense to me at least!

 

[James no5]

I don't know why but I'm thinking the new coaster will be stand up and use shockwaves old train

Unfortunately that won’t be possible. It’s a family thrill which means stand up will be out of the picture to accommodate a 1.2 height requirement. Another reason being the shockwave trains are reaching the end of their lives beyond beyond salvaged. They’ve been using the old trains as spares and repairs from what’s been gathered.

Definitely gives off Western vibes.

Think we'll see Sheriff's Theme extended across the area. East retheme for Haunting & Barrels won't be too tricky either

Doubt it - I think it will be a toilet block again as that side of the park really could use toilets again. The nearest ones are down by Safari Pizza so quite a walk.
