Hi
I'm new to Joyland Books Forum but i am a huge enthusiast of Blackpool Pleasure Beach been visiting since i was 2/3. Flying Machines is one of my favourites hence the name.
Regarding Bling it is a shame to see it go but the Maintenance problems of and lots of downtime plus high costs to repair caused the end of this ride in Blackpool Pleasure Beach lasting 6 Years in the park opening in 2004.
A Replacement is rumoured for 2012
Bling is still standing at the moment but will be removed soon or will sit SBNO until it's removal to an unknown buyer
