FREDDIESDOUBLE Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 OMFG! BE CAREFUL PEOPLE!!!!!!!! This is NOT a joke http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6792903.ece More than 30 people were rescued by firefighters last night after a collision between two cars on the Big Dipper rollercoaster in Blackpool. The cars were 6m (20ft) above the ground when one rammed into the other at 7.45pm, causing 32 people to be evacuated. Two were trapped until they were freed by firemen from Lancashire Fire and Rescue. The fire brigade transported the victims down from the ride, on the South Shore of Blackpool, using stretchers, spine boards and neck collars. Some 21 people were taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital, three of whom were carried on stretchers. The most seriously injured people are believed to have broken noses, whiplash and cuts and bruises. An investigation into the cause of the crash will be conducted by the Health and Safety Executive. The Big Dipper, a wooden rollercoaster, opened in 1923.

daisylou Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 why does the ticket allocation seem like deja vu? Roll on a family 70th Birthday Party for me then ...Urgh! yeah sorry to be the bearer of bad news about the Rollercoaster but as I won't be there would hate for anything to happen to ANYONE not just MFCers. I was online late last night and came on the news I kinda and didn't know whether to tell you or not...but better to be prepared than not! Plenty of pubs in Blackpool anyway! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikafish Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm with you on that one. STILL living in hope ! Was hoping they would have a waiting list on the day for any ticket holders that don't turn up (there are always some surely!) but according to Radio 2 no plans to do that.

Gatagordinha Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I thought they had already shut the Big Dipper down. Or was I thinking of the Grand National? (used to love that). It's a very old ride, well I think it has just condemned itself . Thank goodness nobody was seriously hurt or worse.. btw no news on tickets.

The Grand National was closed when I went last year but I think it re-opened. I hope its still there. I haven't been on it yet. No news yet.

The Big Dipper should have been closed down YEARS AGO! It is only holding itself up by a-wing-and-a-prayer! Even if I normally went on rides I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten foot barge pole!

Gatagordinha Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I am a maybe for this at the moment. I might be persuaded. If I do go though it will be seriously on the cheap as I am on holiday next two weeks and don't expect to bring many Euros back home . (Remind me not to book a holiday in the Euro Zone next year..) So expensive rides and dinner in restaurants would be out as far as I am concerned, but could still meet up with you lot nonetheless..for a drink, and rendez-vous at the back door of the Empress Ballroom for example .
