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”
Who remembers riding The Big Dipper back when there was only a leather covered metal handle to hold onto?.
Health and Safety?…meh!
Try spending some money on the track
Real bone shaker now 😯
look at the back of it on Bond street, its not good !
I’m 16 Stone, 43 years of age and I’m still looking for my soul years later. I’d say make the height limit 12 foot or above 😂
It’s a death trap.
Took my 8 year old son on it a couple of years back. He came off crying because it hurt him so much!!!
Brody Richard kill or cure eh 🤣
More moronic behaviour by the pleasure beach. Why don’t they sell to someone more competent to run a theme park
