Blackpool Pleasure Beach has revived one of its most popular rides of all time. Valhalla will be back in action as of next month, following a huge £4 million refit.
The huge water ride, dubbed the UK’s ‘wettest’, first launched in 2000 at a cost of £15 million. It has been closed since 2019, but prior to that ran over 2000 feet and at a top speed of over 70 kph.
On the Norse legend themed ride, thrill seekers are watched over by a Viking named Ivàr, and experience elements including fire, ice and water in their journey to Valhalla and the afterlife. Riders are exposed to both gallons of water and temperatures ranging from -20c to 40c during the ride’s six minute duration.
