Exciting developments are taking place at Blackpool Pleasure Beach as the iconic Ice Blast ride undergoes significant refurbishment. After standing SBNO (Standing But Not Operating) throughout the 2024 season, scaffolding has recently been erected around the tower, giving fans hope that the ride may soon return to its former glory.
One of the most notable updates is the removal of the top of the tower, which now rests on the ground nearby. This major dismantling suggests an intensive overhaul, possibly targeting the ride’s mechanics or structural components. Observers have also noted that work on repainting the tower has begun, hinting at a fresh new look for the attraction.
Despite the extensive work, Ice Blast’s signage remains in place, sparking anticipation that the ride's return is on the horizon. The towering launch ride has been a staple at the park, thrilling visitors with its adrenaline-pumping ascent since its debut.
