Je confirme que non!  ;)



CitationProject 2015 - The Announcement

We are thrilled to announce we have joined forces with the world famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, to launch a unique thrill ride which will take excitement sky-high!

Blackpool Pleasure Beach will become the world's first tourist attraction to have a ride based on the planet's best aerobatic display team. Preparing for deployment in the Spring, the ride's aircraft will provide an exhilarating experience like no other!

Loved across the planet for their jaw-dropping displays which have thrilled millions, the pride of the Royal Air Force will now be represented at the UK's number one amusement park in a unique partnership where the rider takes control of their own plane to become a master of the skies. 

Complete in Red Arrows livery, the brand new ride will also feature its own control tower from which novice pilots will be prepared for take-off.

The 72ft high, 12-seat white-knuckle ride will take you on a 360-degree tour of the skies and sits in the shadow of the world famous Big One rollercoaster. Stepping into your very own Red Arrows cockpit, you take control of the plane and spin, glide and take formation in your very own display.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach today unveiled plans for a £2m new white-knuckle ride based on the world famous Red Arrows.

The park has linked up with the Royal Air Force aerobatics team to launch the Red Arrows Sky Force which is expected to be ready for take off by next spring.

Complete with Red Arrows livery and its own control tower, the 72ft high, 12-seat ride will take thrill-seekers on a 360-degree tour of the skies.

It will be built alongside the Big One rollercoaster and means the Pleasure Beach will become the world's first tourist attraction to have a ride based on the top aerobatic display team.

Riders will take control of their own Red Arrows cockpit for an adrenaline-fuelled flight in formation.

Amanda Thompson, managing director of the Pleasure Beach, said: "The Red Arrows are a British institution so it was a perfect fit for the UK's number one amusement park to work with them.

"They are an amazing sight to see when they are in the skies and I am certain our new ride will give our guests a unique thrill they will want to experience again and again."

Deputy managing director Nick Thompson added: "We cannot wait to launch our new ride for the 2015 season.

"We are the first amusement park in the UK to work with the Red Arrows on such an exciting project and we know it will be something unique for thrill-seekers to experience."

The Red Arrows are firm favourites at the Blackpool Air Show each summer and this year the team celebrated its 50th display season.

Their Hawk jets were built by BAE Systems which manufactures the jet at Warton.

Squadron Leader Ruth Shackleton, team manager of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, said: "The Red Arrows have enjoyed a long association with Blackpool and the Pleasure Beach during the team's 50-year history.

"The new Sky Force ride is a wonderful, and unique, means to continue this relationship and provides an exciting way for people to learn more about the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force and the role the service plays in protecting the UK.

"The team are also thrilled the ride will take pride of place adjacent to the Big One.

"It is also fantastic that the north west of England will get to enjoy and play host to a permanent Red Arrows experience."

It is the latest in a series of recent investments in new rides by the Pleasure Beach.

The £10.3m Nickelodeon Land opened in 2011 after Blackpool Council lent the park £5m towards the project, while Thrill-O-Matic, based on the Wallace and Gromit characters, opened in 2013, costing £5.25m, and part-funded by a £2m loan from the Lancashire Enterprises Partnership Growing Places fund.

The Red Arrows Sky Force will be fully funded by the Pleasure Beach.

Work will take place over the winter on a currently vacant plot of land in the south of the park.

Robert Owen, director of marketing at the Pleasure Beach, said they had approached the Red Arrows who it was felt were the perfect fit for the concept of the ride.

He added: "Since 2011, our major investment - in Nickelodeon Land and Thrill-O-Matic - has been for family markets so this investment is about a new ride for our thrill-seekers.

"With the combined investment that the Pleasure Beach has made and other investments in the town, combined with the increase in visitor numbers we have seen this season so far, we are confident a new ride will enhance this even more and pave the way for a positive 2015 season."

Si on se fie à l'affiche, ce ne sera pas le modèle à lap bar, c'est dommage.

Un flat ride de gerstlauer : un sky fly comme à nigloland  :)....J'aurais préfèré un coaster parce les leurs sont TRÈS vieux...
Ce n'est pas parce qu'ils sont vieux qu'ils manquent d'intérêt, loin de là pour la Wooden Wild Mouse ou Grand National qui sont d'excellentes machines...
Pour le Sky Fly c'est une bonne nouvelle, et je vois où il devrait être ça va combler un beau vide et promettre un beau ride à l'ombre de Big One. Pour les lap bars je croise les doigts pour qu'elles y soient malgré l'image.

Nouvel article sur Blackpoolgazette:



"The countdown to take off for the Red Arrows' latest high-flying white knuckle adventure is on.


The Blackpool Air Show favourites will be taking to the skies in the new UK exclusive ride Skyforce, opening this spring at the Pleasure Beach.

At a cost of £2m, Skyforce will see the Pleasure Beach become the world's first tourist attraction to have a ride based on the top aerobatic display team.

Ahead of the South Shore park opening for 2015 this weekend, work is well underway both in Blackpool and at a factory in Germany.

Pleasure Beach technical director Alex Payne said: "The ride is all on track – the foundations are in and as is standard, there's a 28-day wait to fully strengthen the concrete.

"The ride is well on with the manufacturers now, and is with the galvanisers."

Protecting the Pleasure Beach's rides from the corrosive effects of sand, sea water and strong winds is the foremost challenge for the site's design team and a new system has been created to protect the metal work of Skyforce in conjunction with manufacturers Gerstlauer.

Skyforce is nestled under the main climb of the Big One rollercoster, and will be decorated with Red Arrows livery, with its own control tower.

The 12-seat ride will allow thrillseekers to soar to 23-metres while taking a personalised 360-degree tour of the skies, in control of their own Red Arrows cockpit.

When the ride was announced in the autumn, Pleasure Beach managing director Amanda Thompson hailed the partnership with the "British institution" as being a "perfect fit", while promising visitors a "unique thrill".

The site will include a briefing area, where riders will be told how to get the most from their ride.

Alex added: "Each of the 12 riders will get their own experience, which is very unusual and it's one of the things which attracted us to the ride.

"The base for the ride is quite small, but the area it actually covers is 25m by 30m, and it goes up to about 23m. In relation to the Big One, it's not that high but it's probably higher than the Revolution.

"And of course, us being us, we like to push things – it will fly pretty close to the Big One and will go over the Big Dipper track too. That's the gag of what we do; engineering fear into things, but with safety."

The Red Arrows are firm favourites at the Blackpool Air Show each summer and last year the team celebrated its 50th display season.

Their Hawk jets were built by BAE Systems which manufactures the jet at Warton."
