Big One Offride 4K Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Описание: Towering 65 metres over the streets of Blackpool, it's hard to think of a more iconic ride in the UK than this classic Arrow hyper coaster! Although once the World's tallest roller coaster, even after 27 years the aptly named ride remains the record holder for the UK. It is also currently the second fastest, with its maximum of 74 mph being only just 6 mph shy of Thorpe Park's Stealth. After a rocky opening season, Big One has undergone extensive retracking and reprofiling over the years to correct design defects, particularly on the first drop and turnaround. The most recent work was completed in early 2021 and can be seen in this video as the brighter red track sections. Did you know some of the old track pieces were incorporated into the walls of the building that now houses Valhalla?

This National Landmark was one of three groundbreaking coasters that opened in the UK 1994, alongside Shockwave at Drayton Manor and Nemesis at Alton Towers. Back then, the ride was known as the Pepsi Max Big One although most of the branding (except for the can-themed tunnel) has since been removed. Check out how the ride interacts with some of the other coasters at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, especially the Big Dipper, Icon and Infusion! Watch in 4K (UHD).
