    Blackpool Pleasure Beach has announced it is to build a new £16.25m rollercoaster.

    It will be the first ever in the UK with a double-launch – an advanced technology that gives the roller coaster two powerful thrusts of acceleration during the ride. ‘Construction 2018’ will feature the most number of interactions in the world with 15 interactions involving five different rides and two tunnels.



    The ride is being manufactured by Mack Rides at their world-class factory in Waldkirch, Germany, utilising the latest state-of-the-art engineering processes, including laser beam technology for extreme accuracy. The ride will open in Spring 2018.

    Construction 2018 will reach heights of 88.5ft with drops of up to 82ft. It will interact with five other Blackpool Pleasure Beach rides including the iconic Big One, Steeplechase, Big Dipper, Pleasure Beach Express and the Grand Prix.

    Key Ride facts

    Total Length – 1.14 KM
    Max Height – 88.5ft
    Height of Drops – 82ft
    Max Speed – 80 KM/H
    Max Acceleration (Verticle) – 4.3G

    Why give free publicity to the company that did their best to destroy Pleasureland?

    I think the point is that there could be a chance to get the Traumatizer back in Southport after all we need a decent roller coaster.

    Get Norman on the job!!
