I've been out today. This is a blog post I knocked up before I went.
This is a good example of thinking outside the box. The Big One, a roller coaster ride on Blackpool Pleasure Beach, is very popular. It was constructed in 1994. Maximum speed 85 mph. It's the UK's tallest roller coaster. I have ridden it many times, the best seats are always the front seat on a coaster.
So the Pleasure Beach have come up with an idea to maximise it's use. When everyone has been on it, what next? Let them walk it. For £150 you can walk along the track. After being fitted out with a safety harness and taking part in a short induction course you will then be taken for a walk along the track, to admire the spectacular views.
Take a look at the link if you fancy doing this. I don't think I could, I wouldn't want to hinder the enjoyment of the others in the group by freaking out. When I am high up I can look out at the views, but I can't look down to the ground.
For the dare devils among you, maybe one for the bucket list.
Catch ya later. Toodle pip. ilona
Maybe not! 😱
ReplyDeleteUgh! I have no head for heights at all, and this freaks me out just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteNot for me. I get the collywobbles just driving past.

After reading the title, I thought you were going to say you had done it! H x
ReplyDeleteA few years ago I might have done, but I feel a bit wobbly if I climb up a pile of rocks for a better view.
DeleteI've just watched the video on U Tube. It made me feel very anxious, especially as I have a fear of heights!
