After visiting Blackpool for 4 years, I finally went on roller coaster, being far rtoo scared to even consider it before. The last day I was at the Pleasure Beach the usual queue for the Pepsi Max was much, much smaller than usual so somehow I was convinced to try it. The slow ride up to the slope builds the... more

This ride is still fantastic even though there are now many rides competing for its crown. The first drop is amazing, the height is truly awesome, and the crawl up to the top of the 200 ft+ drop fills you with suspense of what to come! Just to say DO IT! Its great, its fantastic and its British. more

I went on the Big One for the first time in 6 years. Since my last ride on the Big One I have been on coasters in California, Florida, Spain and other parts of the UK. I forgot how intimidating the first drop can be. You go up slowly, admire the view of the Blackpool skyline, but if you are... more

this was my 4th roller coaster and i liked it, scary for the first big drop!!! waited bout 25 mins to get on tho. more

This is the very first roller coaster I've been on, and I cannot describe how intimidating it looks as you approach it and see that first drop of 200 and something feet. Got there and thought, what am i doing? Hardly any time to que for the ride, and as my hands were shaking and gripping the bar it started.... more

We were at the pleasure beach every day for one week. I have been on coasters in the UK and USA and Disney Paris, and this is the best thrill ride. But first let me say that I think some days they slow it down,maybe when the wind is high, (when its too high, they shut it down )We went... more

I'm surprised that people say this is the best ride ever as I don't think it's even the best one at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The Climb to the top IS awesome. When you are at the top the first drop looks terrifying......once thats been done though the rest is all fairly average. As an overall ride I'd rate two of... more

Had to chuckle when reading the review posted on 19th July concerning this truly fantastic ride.... "dont go fast". No, of course not, it's only the tallest, fastest Roller Coaster in Europe ! Yes it may lose it's crown soon (after all it was also the tallest and fastest in the world when it opened 11 years ago). Admittedly the... more

The pepsi max is the best ride I have ever been on in whole my life. It is even better than Oblivian at Alton Towers. At the start the ride you are saying to your self I want to get off now I want to get off but then is starts. It takes you 180-200ft high and has a speed... more
