Pace Fun

Better than you think.

Theming Pace Intensity Lap Bar

I rode this with another person, and this ride has some quirks to it. If you are alone or have someone on your lap, you have little to hold on to and the rather quick transitions make you feel like you'll fall out. Quite fast towards the end, and quite a bit of force!

Nice surprise! Comfort Fun Capacity Dead spots

Enjoyable ride, but has a bit of a slow start. Quite different from other roller coasters though.

Nice surprise! Pace Fun Capacity

This was actually the best Mack bobsleigh ride I have been on: It has a better and more fun layout than the prototype at Europa Park and runs less shaky than the version at Heide Park. This one starts pretty mild, but constantly builds up speed during the finale. The only downside is the capacity which is not great because there were only two trains running and most adults sit alone in one car (which I fully understand, you should only share these vehicles with someone you REALLY like, when sitting alone, you have plenty of room).

Lap Bar Pace Rattle Capacity Discomfort

Rattles you to the core. Very, very unfortunate

Lap Bar Fun Rattle

This thing isn't much. But what it is is pure, undiluted FUN. The speed you pick up before going into the figure 8 helix thing at the end is insane and the stupidly loose lap bar that goes nowhere near your legs makes the things so much more crazy. The only thing I dislike is the constant rattle. It doesn't get any better or worse throughout, it's just kind of there. Overall a very fun coaster that should stay at BPB.

Quite short but enjoyable nonetheless. Chooses a strange point to end on as you pick up pace!

Fun Discomfort

Although some discomfort on the ride, it's a fun must ride at Blackpool for the experience. Probably one of the best bobsled rides, fun experience.

Nice surprise! Fun Too short

Found this very enjoyable, yes it's very short but you get some decent speed, it's not uncomfortable at all, it's even moderately intense. One of the better rides in the park for me

Theming Pace Fun Too short

Not really too much to say about this one. Good fun and worth doing for sure and it`s got a very good pace to it as it builds up speed, especially toward the end. The theming is bloody good and all, makes you feel like your actually going on an old style swiss expedition in the station. A bit on the rattlier side and the riding position is uncomfortable at the best of times. If your with someone else it can be downright awkward. I`d queue 30 mins for this, probably no more cause there`s better stuff to do here but if its on a short line then definitely give it a whirl. Fun times

Pace Fun Ejectors Too short

Fun with a good lap bar and great pace, some of the turns are taken at whippy speeds and are oddly shaped leading to some surprising ejector and what more do you want from a ride like this?

Pace Fun

Good fun and picks up speed surprisingly well. Good variant for Pleasurebeach’ coaster lineup, and great for kids and people who don’t want as intense ride experience from a coaster.

Pace Fun Too short Pointless

Fun enough family ride but nothing to think about. Ends way too soon for me. I should admit that I'm not big on bobsled coasters as I feel they don't really do too much throughout their layouts, but for what it is I think avalanche is average and worth a try at least once for the uniqueness.

A fun roller coaster but pretty short, riding in the trough is a nice sensation but it feels like we finish just as we're picking up speed.

Pace Fun Rattle Lap Bar

Unique in the UK, good fun layout taken at a breakneck pace. However, the restraints can be uncomfortable, particularly when sharing a car, and the ride track can be rattly and rough.

Never get bored of Bobsled coasters. With the retirement of the Wild Mouse, this is now my favourite ride left in BPB.

Theming Nice surprise! Pace

This ride surprised the heck out of me, the transitions as you get to the fastest part of the ride are insane. Let's not forget how great the station theme is.
