I use'd to like a ride that went a long time ago.
I think it was called the Tokado express or sumething like that.
It was a really fast figur of 8 coaster that used to batter you about the seat.
I also use'd to have to repair it a lot for the company i worked for.
which is why i think it went in the end.
Anyone remeber it??
and what was the one that use'd to have disco music in the dark in a round building??

Will have to look for some pics of the tokado express! I dont remember it, but loads of coaster enthusiasts on other sites discuss it!
As for the disco music in the dark...err...not sure?? Not the space invader??
The space invader didnt open for the second half of last season, and I notice its dissapeared off the website this year, hope they dont close it for good

Nope
I am going back at least 15 years, seem to think it was some kind of waltzer with dead loud music ( which is why i liked it )

my fave ride is the actual journey to blackpool pleasure beach - nothing compares to driving up a back street of Blackpool and getting the first close up glimpse of the big one!! the excitement just pumps thru my pants!

the control man at the end throws us all a great big beam - bet he really enjoys his job of making people laugh and scream all day long

The man that works on the zipper dipper is great! Dead kind to the kids! Waves at us all when we set off and gives extra free rides when its not busy!

There is no music on it.... just the laughing man in the background. Are you sure you posted the right one??
