@@yourexperienceguide Hi could you answer me a question please? 'The Steeplechase'. I know it was modified slightly (the seats on the horse). Have they also slowed it down? Before it used to seem faster. It was quite rough and scary. Or was it just an illusion on the old seats, as you clung on for life, with your legs all the way round? (the bruises). Now the worse part of it is getting onto the horse in the first place (avoid wearing tight trousers).

I love the Wild Mouse, but it really struggled to cope once the park went to wristbands. I barely rode it in the last few years, simply because the queues had become so long and slow. It's a shame it went, but I can't honestly be too harsh on the park for closing it. I only wish they'd given us the chance to say our farewells, rather than closing it so abruptly.

@yourexperienceguide

Problem is it had the number of cars reduced in its last few years and then the new computerised system slowed it down more than they'd hoped. I think in the video I touched on why there was no farewell event.

What I most liked on my visit to the Pleasure Beach was its great collection of vintage and unique rides. I just hope they maintain what they have as it is the esence of the park.

My brother even slipped on the concrete just near the ride entrance and fractured his elbow, but it didn't stop him from riding it another 4-5 times.

Personally I would rebuild the Wild Mouse exactly as it was exactly where it was. It was a piece of the Park's HISTORY! I still remember the year my little sister turned 10 and decided she wanted to start coming on the Coasters with me, that she was too big for the kiddie rides lol. Fair do's after starting simple on the Roller Coaster she immediately then demanded "Revolution Revolution!!!" By the end of that day only the Wild Mouse was left. As I said, she was only 10, and though she was plenty tall enough, she ended up 5'11", she was as skinny as a stick of spaghetti. So on we went, her sat in front of me, and I am trying to hold her as tight as I could but once we hit the first series of S bends oh my word I thought I had broken my wee sister, thought I'd snapped her in half lol. I expected her to start screaming and crying at any second, already dreading the pasting i was gonna get from Mum but no, she survived and came off grinning from ear to ear, " again again again" lol.

So sad it’s gone, and the disrespectful way it was removed and the public was treated will always leave a bitter taste. Edit: And to be clear, the disrespect came in the sudden destruction overnight without any public notice (clearly to avoid any public protest) and THEN with a ludicrous little public memo that it was removed in the name of future progress (an obvious lie - there’s still nothing in the spot). If the coaster had to go because of maintenance or insurance issues, then they should have told the public this. Instead, they did this stealth destruction maneuver, and released this blatant “f.u.” lie to the public to swallow. It’s the most terribly handled ride removal in modern amusement park history.

Pleasure Beach Experience I know from previous discussions that you have a more forgiving view of the way the removal was handled than I do. I don’t agree with you, but, as I’ve said before I’ll say now: ultimately I defer to you and wouldn’t deign to really argue, as it is your local park and you know it a million times better than I do.

@@StamfordBridge I understand that everyone thinks I’m protecting them over it, but they really didn’t do it in the way it was done to annoy people. It just happened as it did, they still regret how it played out but the park is not a safe place to be for 1000s of guests out of season to turn up for last rides on a coaster. It wasn’t operational at the time either, the ‘mice’ were in the workshop being prepped for modernisation.

Pleasure Beach Experience I understand that they had to close it, and I’m not faulting them for not having a final ride day. I do fault them for the stealth overnight destruction, and what they did and especially didn’t tell the public, even if it was down to incompetence and panic rather than evil intent. But I’ve never thought you were protecting the park as some sort of shill. I’ve never doubted that you just sincerely see it this way. 👍

@@StamfordBridge The announcement for its closure was going to come two days after it had been leaked by an enthusiast site, 95% of the BPB staff were on Christmas break at the time. I get that it’s a sore one for people but I also wish people would believe me, it’s not like I’m known for spreading incorrect BPB info 😅

A true white knuckle ride , a ride that had everything and will always be much missed , what happened to the ride cars ?

Pissed me off when they got rid of this ride

I think a B&M family coaster should take Wild Mouse’s place.

I still miss this ride! I think there is demand for a new version of this style of wild mouse ride using wood. Maybe cgi can pull it off or how about rmc pull something off special ?! Steel wild mouse rides dont do anything for me compared to these classics!

As much as it’d be great I just don’t see a ride like this being constructed again sadly
