Vengeance Most Fowl Comes To Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Vengeance Most Fowl is coming to Blackpool Pleasure Beach this Summer! Wallace & Gromit’s Thrill-O-Matic, Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s iconic Wallace & Gromit themed dark ride will receive FIVE new scenes following the success of last year’s NEW animated movie centred around the Lancashire born pooch and inventor.
The new movie which began streaming on Netflix on June 25th see’s the two go up against feathers McGraw – the evil scheming penguin first seen in The Wrong Trousers as he makes his escape from jail and seeks vengeance against Wallce and Gromit for his imprisonment and capture.
Additions to the ride will include fan favourite character Norbot the Gnomebot & new interpretations of Feathers alongside the dynamic duo.
As well as the introduction of five new scenes Pleasure Beach Resort have also confirmed the ride’s queue line will also receive updates to to coincide with the newly introduced scenes.
As well as all of the above Pleasure Beach Resort have also confirmed brand new merchandise such as Norbot toys have already been launched in the ride’s dedicated gift shop at the end of the ride.
The new Vengeance Most Fowl scenes will join the ride’s existing scenes from A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, A Matter of Loaf and Death and The Curse of the Were Rabbit expanding on already action packed 4 minute ride experience.
To achieve this Creators Aardman are working closely with Pleasure’s Beach’s engineering and creative teams, and the new characters, props and set pieces are being designed and created in-house at Pleasure Beach by its talented PB Studios.
Speaking on the addition of the new upcoming scenes Amanda Thompson OBE – CEO of Blackpool Pleasure Beach has said;
“Pleasure Beach is renowned not only for introducing exciting new rides, but for constantly investing in updating the story, systems, technology and theming of our classic attractions.”
“Wallace & Gromit are national treasures and have always been a firm favourite with visitors, but the success of their new film has certainly delivered a renewed excitement for the characters and their stories. To be updating this wonderful ride truly reaffirms our commitment to attracting families back to the resort for what we hope will be A Grand Day Out.”
Wallace & Gromit’s Thrill-O-Matic was officially opened at Pleasure Beach by creator Nick Park in 2013. At the time of opening Nick stated;
“We have the perfect marriage between Wallace & Gromit and Pleasure Beach. I grew up in Preston, which is just down the road so Blackpool feels like a natural home for Wallace and Gromit.”
“It has been a great experience working with the Thompson family to create this family ride that sits right in the heart of the park, I really hope that our fans enjoy the Thrill-O-Matic as much as we have enjoyed creating it.”
The new additions to Wallace & Gromit’s Thrill-O-Matic are the next major new addition to the Lancashire based seaside amusement park following the reopening of Launch Pad this May after the ride received an extensive refurbishment and reimagining for 2025!
Pleasure Beach Resort are also currently in the process of reimagining their River Caves ride too (which is one of the park’s longest standing attractions) and have advised further details surrounding this will be announced in due course.
Most excitingly of all, the park announced a brand new ‘UK first’ ride, Aviktas, will open in 2026. Aviktas is a giant swinging pendulum ride that will reach heights of 138 feet, making it the tallest of its kind in the UK.
