I’m a regular and I don’t think I underrate it, I’ve always given an honest opinion. Some people do hate it, strangely. I loved it in its early years, not enjoyed it since the water vortex was at head height rather than over the boat.

Love this ride on a hot day. It’s the only ride I love at Blackpool pleasure beach, that and the Big One. Most of my favourites have all gone now. And the ghost strain appears rather run down

Valhalla is amazing!!! One of very few truly world class ride experiences in this country. And almost certainly the only ‘global best in class’ candidate in the UK. It’s a soaker, but that’s part of the draw. If you don’t want to get drenched, it’s still enjoyable with a poncho on! Even with Icon, Big One etc in the same park, it’s Valhalla that most disappoints when we don’t get to ride it.

I'll be very, very happy if the wetness is significantly reduced. Thanks for watching Nicky!

I'd love to know if, in reality, it's been a financial success for the Park in terms of estimated additional revenue it's generated. That aside, I think it's definitely been a success from a guest perspective. Original skull paintwork looked 10 times better. Themed element wise, I always felt the crashing and rolling logs required more lighting and to be triggered a bit earlier (blink and you miss it kind of thing.) Best memory I have is riding it approx. 8 times in a row near the end of the day years back with my nephew. I'm definitely in the 'it gets you too wet' camp and I hope this is addressed during the refurb. Can't think of the proper term but I wonder if they'll go down the route of themed screens to cut running costs longer term. I am getting OLD ... I still think of it as being quite a new attraction!!!

One of the advantages of Valhalla is has a good secondary income stream , on busy days at end of season I estimate poncho sales of around £5000. Looking forward to reopening 2022. To improve the ride reliability is the control system that needs some work and with rumour that control both is moving to same level as Station I think that may take place. Maybe they would pleasure beach experience provide some People for load test , just a hope !!

The ponchos definitely help to offset the running costs at a guess. If/when it reopens next year, we will look to arrange an ERT on it.

As far as the costs of the gas and electricity to operate the Fire and other affects there are other ways of producing real flames without it costing as much money, for example you can get fire machines that use flammable aerosols or flammable liquid rather than mains gas, i’ve also come across a manufacturer that produces a snow machine thatcan make real snow in all weather conditions but uses far less power consumption🙂

i understand the fire effects are expensive but i think the big hit fire wall should stay at least, the other fire effects could be replaced by sustainable effects, love to see the real snow back, more animatronics and surprises, louder clearer message from the god on the first lift with a better visual effect. projection mapping in tunnels creating life like lava cracks would be cool , i'm for the vortex as it is or with a perspex shield. take out green laser doesn't fit the theme, keep the turntable and the wind. that's pretty much all my thoughts i can't wait to see how its reimagined i hope this project is taken seriously with a big budget and long may it continue to collect awards, this is the best ride in the UK , and my favourite dark ride in the world!

I hope it doesn’t go away any time soon. The fact that it has been refurbished a number of times suggests it IS successful. They wouldn’t keep putting money into a ride that was costing too much or not getting enough riders. Long live Valhalla. I haven’t been on the ride since about 2014, but what I would like to see in the refurbishment is more pyrotechnics and special effects between scenes. The sailing around in between can be slightly boring. And I would like it to last a bit longer too. Even just another 90 seconds would do it. One of my top favourites at BPB, always.

I can’t see any additional lighting being added, it’s themed to be a dark ride style attraction

I have been on this ride loads of times over the years. Rememeber the Water Chute which was located next to it when the funhouse was there. I have never enjoyed Valhalla and the Logflume was much better in my opinion. They should have replaced it with something else. We dont get the weather in UK to justify a water ride that soaks you as much as Valhalla unlike if it was in the USA. BPB should have added a new ride in its place!

Infusion replaced the Log Flume, Valhalla and the Log Flume were together at BPB for six years. I do think a 'dry' dark ride would have been better than a water ride though.

I would like it removed and replaced by an indoor water coaster, the first in the UK.. Come on pleasure beech forward thinking.. I know what would make fortunes inside pleasure beech would be a weatherspoons, I know the velvet coaster isn't far away but who can be bothered going in and out of the park.. Get free drinks with wristbands etc.. Have the weatherspoons themed.. I like a pint and the drinks inside pleasure beach are frankly poor..

Well what you like and what everyone else likes are two separate things...Valhalla is a great ride , easily one of the best themed rides in the UK imo. Do you know anything about how much of a logistical nightmare it would be and how much it would cost to get a Wetherspoons into Pleasure Beach? Let alone the fact you suggest having it themed, which goes against Wetherspoon's classic British pub brand. Free drinks with wristbands also makes no sense. For soft drinks and such like they have in Merlin parks it would make sense but for alcoholic drinks it definitely wouldn't make sense.
