The Grand Prix is a vintage-style racing attraction where riders can hop into colorful, themed cars and drive on a twisting and turning track.
The attraction features a fleet of electric cars, each designed to resemble classic Grand Prix racing cars. These cars are equipped with steering wheels, pedals, and simple controls, allowing riders to navigate the track.

Put a rmc raptor there
They better not dare get rid of it!
It spent a lot of time not running last year, there was a lot of down time when it should of been running with ride ops and sparkies combing the electrical pick ups searching for the latest break in the line.
It would be great to see a rollercoaster go over the the main road as there’s plenty of room on the prom by South pier
Good pull it down and build something modern the Thompson’s have enough money greedy swines
Never seen it running….. Sad really as the older rides were the only ones that appealed to me.
There’s no way it will sit not running for a year and then open back up. Bit like the whole Loggers Leap situation.
Andrew Wilson And how many years was that SBNO 🙃
Andrew Wilson What about Valhalla?
It does take up a lot of space…. Still sad to have it there and not operating… I’m guessing the potential maintenance costs for this season were too high…
It was closed for most of last season if I remember correctly. Have a feeling this will be the next ride for the chop. Will open up plenty of space for future developments 😃
Robert McGair New Rollercoaster?
UK Theme Park Spy hopefully, but I do remember Nick saying something about and indoor ride when talking about future plans in an interview when Icon was just built.
Robert McGairAn indoor coaster would be fantastic, fill the void left by space invader🙂
Of all the rides to come to the end of their lives/replaced by another one I would much rather it was the Grand Prix than anything else.
Doug Briglmen yes with lights and smoke effects 👌🏼 Grand Prix rarely gets a que, so I think that’s what Pleasure Beach Resort have decided to maybe close this on and see it go.
Are you kidding that it never has a queue. In my visits it’s always had the longest wait. Not helped by poor capacity though.
