A visit to the South Pier

South Pier

Since the South Pier no longer offers a roller coaster, the number of reviews about the pier has decreased a bit. At the same place there is now a classic Reverchon log flume, which is missing in the offer of the not far away Pleasure Beach. In addition to some children’s rides, you can find a Magic Dance by Sobema, a Miami, a bumper car, a Twister and a Waltzer.

Adrenaline Zone

The real highlights are in the adrenaline zone of the pier, where the tokens are not valid for the other attractions. These are a Sky Coaster, a sling shot style ride, a bungee trampoline, as well as the Gyro Loop from Moser, where it is possible to control your own ride by arresting the brake, as well as forward and backward movements.

Conclusion South Pier

I did not feel like riding any of the rides, as they all ran a quite short program. Nevertheless I was glad to walk around on the open pier this time, just to be a little surprised how small and run-down it was. After a visit to the neighbouring Sandcastle Waterpark Blackpool or the notorious Pleasure Beach Blackpool, a short walk on the South Pier is worthwhile. As the choice of rides changes from time to time, I’m sure I’ll drop by again sometime.

Schützenfest Hannover (2012)

After a few years of missing the aim of a large scale funfair, the Schützenfest Hannover is back in its former glory. With Berg & Tal, Olympia Looping, Kinzler’s Break Dance, Wildwasser, Flash and the new ride of Köhrmann, there is a lot of stuff to do for every enthusiast. I really enjoyed this years edition and was glad to spend a visit with my French guest parents.

Bremer Osterwiese (2011)

I liked the Bremer Osterwiese. The smaller fairground in Bremen is just cosy and the selection of rides is simply outstanding. With this year’s edition, I had the chance to ride the small Fabbri Power Mouse spinning coaster Family Star by the showman Alberts. Although it is not the best spinning coaster out there, it still offers quite a lot of interesting stuff on a very small footprint.
