10 & 11th February 2018

Opening weekend events at the Pleasure Beach would soon become a thing of the past and this was a contributor to that; bad weather, unpredictable ride availability and short notice changes to the itinerary made for a headache for both the BPB staff and PBE team trying to keep the event ticking over. Add that to a wider interest in opening weekend from UK coaster enthusiasts, all eyes were on BPB all of a sudden. 

The excitement of ICON was the focus of the day, it wasn't even completed but it was taking the interest of everyone including the BBC who used footage of a PBE vlog to share some coverage of the ride, amazing! 

Our opening day event was started with an unscheduled Revolution ERT, originally planned to be Avalanche, followed by first public rides on the Big One despite the weather trying to ruin all of those things. 

A sneak peak at the new BPB merchandise and an ICON presentation followed the early morning rides. 

On the following day, we had an ERT session on the Grand National to shake make sure anyone feeling with a hangover was wide awake for all of the park opening up!

Bits of the Beach was the next event to take place in 2018 and ranks as one of the most exciting days we've had at the Pleasure Beach because we were the first public riders on ICON! 

Originally, there was no plans to include ICON on this event but less than two weeks before the event was due to begin, it was announced ICON would open for "boarding pass holders" only on the same dates. 75% of our group had boarding pass holders so we arranged with BPB to make that up to 100% which meant we could be the first ever riders on ICON. It was a memorable moment!

 

ICON was followed up with an hour on the Big One and the usual Log Flume antics. The day finished with a 30 minute ERT session on Valhalla. 

 

On the following day, we had a behind the scenes tour of the Derby Racer and Nickelodeon Streak ERT.

Liseberg 2018, an incredible weekender of ERTs, tours and memorable moments. 

Officially, it was planned as a two day event but it turned out to be a three day event thanks to Liseberg's incredible hospitality. 

There was ERT sessions on Balder, Loke and Helix, as well as behind the scenes tours of Helix and Balder. 

We had an excellent Log Flume take over and the chance to meet ThemeParksNL too.
