the fact that something as well themed as this is at BLACKPOOL of all places is honestly astonishing, really shows what they’re capable of achieving when theming attractions I wonder if they get a company to do the theming, or if they do it in house? eitherway, it’s astonishing how good it all looks. towers may have one of the best themed family coasters in the form of wickerman, but they should take notes from blackpool for their future attractions!!

I have to say, this is one of the best videos ever on TPW and thats really saying something. its great to feel the joy you both felt going on again after such a long wait. I wasnt able to make the opening days so it was nice to experience this with you both. i have been waiting for it to re open for so long and this video was a great celebration. thanks so much for all you both do

I haven’t always appreciated Pleasure Beach as much as other parks. But when I rode the Original Valhalla when I was younger, it was the always the highlight of the day. Very glad to see it’s return this year! Blackpool wasn’t the same for me without it.

It’s such a unique ride with some incredible effects

Glad to see they got things sorted... I hope it stays consistent. I'll be down in a couple of weeks to try it for myself and now I'm really looking forward to it.

Just watched this a couple of hours ago and I’ll be honest it looks absolutely amazing and you two have detailed each section of the ride perfectly I remember riding it im when it first opened and the thrill seems to be definitely there still well done guys I’m really looking forward to the USA tour

Love this vlog! We have never been to Blackpool but this ride looks epic! Love the front facing camera and reactions 😂😂

I last rode this when it opened in 2000. I now can’t wait to re-ride it now that it’s been refurbished what a great ride it looks; a real soaker. Well done with the dark footage Shawn.

Just noticed after the final drop they’ve put mesh screens on the right hand side! Most likely to "reduce the splash..." going over to the 2nd drop if 2 boats go down both drops at the same time which trust me is rare but evil 😂 and as a matter of fact a boat was in the middle of the vortex when you went down 😂

Right that’s it, Sunday it is then. Valhalla is open so off to BPB for us this weekend ❤

Went on this last week, loved it. I agree the sound needs some balancing out here and there but the effects are great. I wish they would hide the boat exit with some fake trees though, that pool and the boat storage switch lane is a bit grubby and could do with some theming. Brill to have Valhalla back though, my kids loved it so much.

So good to see you and celebrating the vortex every time never gets old 😂

No way Sean’s here bro

That is such a cool ride. I would definitely love to go on that water ride 😊

29:43 That is cool. Former ride vehicle station for chair lift that got turned into a restaurant with an outlook. Wish more theme parks would do this rather than demolish the station. 😀

I rode Valhalla many moons ago when, I guess, it was at the height of its original powers. It was a cold day and I remember coming off drenched and bemused. Part of me wanted to ride again, to try and work out exactly what just happened. But I couldn't face getting wetter, and therefore colder. I started watching this film as I am intrigued to see what has now been achieved, but when I got to the on-ride I hit pause, I have decided that when I get to ride again I want it to be a surprise. I'll then come back here to find out what did just happen. Keep on entertaining us and keep riding 😊

Nice video, never actually rode or experienced Valhalla, but after seeing this its a ride I would consider travelling up from South of England to ride. Looks epic, especially from effects seen on this ride, hope with this much theming seen aswell effects. This is the start of something new for this amusement park a.k.a new ride experiences via coasters, attractions and rides. Will obviously judge more exact once & if ride in future for myself, but from what I have seen from this video. Looking exciting & a ride that was worth the wait. Really enjoyed vlog, cheers for recording, editing and uploading. 😀👍

Great review of valhalla 2.0 and i fully agree with the new soundtrack, it's too modern and just doesn't fit. Song of the elders will forever be the valhalla soundtrack for me (which will always be in my head as i ride it). Regarding the turntable room, it's a little disappointing that the backwards drop (which i liked) is gone purely because the story of the ride was along the lines of as you journey through a corridor of water, there is light up ahead but just when you think you will escape to the real world again your boat is pulled backwards into a tunnel of wind spinning your boat round. I loved it purely for the story behind it but from what you guys describe it does sounds like the new first drop with it now being the photo point (as opposed to the original photo point behind right at the very end of the ride) makes more sense. Excited to get down and ride valhalla once again after watching this!

I’ll be off to Blackpool in June for sure I’m gonna book it I can’t wait to get back on my favourite ride 🙏🙏

I rode this when it was first opened and thought it was mind blowing. Rode it again with my lad a few years ago and it was exactly as I remembered. Still blown away. Your review makes it seem like they've got rid of a lot of great effects. Have they replaced stuff for cheaper easier to maintain effects?

Went on it yesterday and was brilliant, sat in exactly the same seat as Shawn and got soaked. All effects was the same apart from ring of fire. Plus the vortex looked alot wetter as some of it was firing straight in the boat😂

So glad to know Valhalla is fully open now, got a trip planned for June so cannot wait. Any news on when the Big Dipper will reopen?

It's an amazing dark water ride and more then likely the best out there currently. Defo going on it again as last ride this when it was open first time and at the beginning of opening so was lucky with all the affects. I like the old music too. Maybe it should have the wind blowing still near the turntable but agree with not seeing the outside world as it keeps everything internal. Can not wait to ride it again. But first July 3rd is Thorpe Park again for me.

Enjoyed watching 😁
