Pleasure Beach Fans have shared there thoughts on Twitter about the new height restriction.
Popey85 Tweeted: “No my daughter is 1.2 and was looking forward to taking her on this when we vist in March. Any idea why it’s changed“
Haz also Tweeted: “This is not a manufacturer decision. The park can increase the height but not aloud to lower without getting the manufacturer and safety board approval”
Damaged my back on this years ago, lifted out of my seat and banged down awkwardly. Anyone smaller would’ve been much worse, although hopefully the bars are much better now xx
As long as it continues to operate, it’s fine by me.
Needs pulling down an accident waiting to happen like the rest of it
Wonder why , was there an accident last season or something, or has the health and safety made the adjustment?
Why?
