Here we share a Blackpool Pleasure Beach advert from the 1992 season. Changes were afoot on the 42 acre site, as the park prepared for the construction of the Pepsi Max Big One, the tallest and faster roller coaster in the world. As such, 1992 was the final season for the Space Tower, which would close to allow for construction of the new ride.
It is interesting that the record breaking ride is already being advertised, over two years before its opening. The concept art shown here is largely a copy of Magnum XL 200 at Cedar Point, the ride that inspired Geoffrey Thompson to build the Blackpool ride.
Construction was also taking place in Beaver Creek, with the opening of the smaller Log Flume in Funshineland at Easter 1992.
