Advantages: Huge, will test your head for heights. Quite a long ride. A world famous record breaker. Disadvantages: Very rough, too slow around the track after the first drop, Station announcement claims OLD record
...fear. I always remember Pepsi Max Big One, or 'The Pepsi Max' as we used to call it at school when I was a kid. I just remember it being apparently the 'biggest in the world' etc. I know now that it 'WAS' the biggest, steepest and fastest in Europe but has since been beaten in all aspects by Silver Star (Somewhere in Germany) and Stealth (Thorpe Park), which annoyed me slightly because in the station of Big One, there is still a repeated announcement ... ...entertaining and well laid out. Pepsi Max Big One will stand the test of time because of it's height and the fact it held those records for so long. That is all. I'm still annoyed that the announcement in the station still claims it as a record holder though because that's false and has been for over 7 years! ...

Advantages: Fun, exciting and a scream. Disadvantages: Frightening, Don't ride if you are scared of heights, not for those who have an illness.
The Pepsi Max Big One is a huge ride in Blackpool Pleasure Beach. When I say huge I mean huge. Look at these statistics:
Length: 5497' Height: 213' Drop: 205' Inversions: 0 Speed: 74 mph Max Speed 85 mph Duration: 2 mins 30 secs Max Vertical Angle: 65 Degrees G-Force: 3.5
I think that gives you some idea that this ride is definitely not for those who are scared of heights like me! Saying this I have been on it twice now, but never again. Every ... ...say I've been on The Pepsi Max Big One. It's a question that most people ask you when they find out your from Blackpool. Another thing is that people seem to think you are forever at The Pleasure Beach, but living in Blackpool really isn't like that. Some years I don't even go to The Pleasure Beach, but I do like to go when the wrist bands are half price. It makes better sense. Sometimes in the summer it gets too crowded and I don't like that aspect ...

Advantages: High Long Rollercoaster Disadvantages: Some height and medical restrictions
The Pepsi Max Big One on Blackpool Pleasure Beach was built by Arrow and opened in 1994 as the tallest and fastest ride in the world. It is claimed to be over 230 feet high, with over a mile of twisting and turning thrills, at speeds of up to 87mph. Other measurements put it at nearer 215 feet high as the Pleasure Beach is about 15 feet above nearby sea level. Some also claim that the top speed of 87mph is an over estimate.
When it opened the Big ... ...Recognised as one of the first Hyper Coasters in the world it's size has now been been exceeded in America. However, the British still recognise it as a fantastic ride and an amazing rollercoaster experience. Three members of the now almost forgotten boy band Bad Boys Inc performed the opening ceremony.
When you visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach you may wonder how Geoffrey Thompson contemplated construction of this impressive ride in the middle of ...

The Pepsi Max Big One is displayed at the far side of the Pleasure Beach near to the burger king . the photographs cost £5.00 and this could be a good souvanier the best way to get about in the park is to pay for a wrist band which covers you for a lot of the rides and the cost is £29.00 pound for the day . you can also this year buy supersave band they cost £10.00 pound and the park will open at 10.30am the park was built in the 1970 ...

Advantages: A fantastic white knuckle ride Disadvantages: Costly if a single ride and there may be long queues
It is bascially i really big roller coaster. If you do not but a wristband for a full days pass on all the rides last time i went it cost a lot per ride. But it may have changed. This is personally my favourite ride at blackpool because of the thrill when you go down the drop which is taller than the Blackpool tower itself! Go on it if you dare.
As well as the high single ride price at prime time there may be long queues but the staff try and make ...
