Speaking about the ride’s new upgrade, Karl Murphy – director of engineering at Pleasure Beach Resort has said;
“A new cylinder might not sound much on paper, but it will make a huge difference in terms of the ride experience. Riders can expect to feel their stomachs drop to the floor with the increased force, and experience epic moments of weightlessness.”
“That, coupled with Launch Pad’s re-theming, makes for a very thrilling new era indeed.”
