Valhalla (Blackpool Pleasure Beach) Reviews
Newest Review: ... at you. Some people jump at this point, but usually they just look around. You then pass through the wolf and start to go up the chain lift. This is by far the most dramatic part of the ride as you are confronted by recently added spinning tuinnels, dramatic music and a hologram of a viking skull that talks to you in a very loud voice. Once you get up the chain lift you pass through some flashing lights. The next section of the ride consists of a smokey room and a tunnel of water. (Only one side of the waterfall is working now.) Then you head out onto a platform where the boat seemingly travels off the edge, but it stops at last minut... more

First off I must say that this is possibly the wettest ride I have ever been on. But to tell the truth, that is the whole point of the ride. You queue up round a chicken fence queueline withv the option to buy a valhalla cape - And trust me you need it!!! When you get to the station (Which usually doesn't take too long as the queue moves quite quickly) you hear the music, which is very catchy and adds to the overall experience a lot. You go round one more fence before being shouted at by staff to board the boats! The boat leaves the station and goes past a hidden speaker which once played a boarding message, but now doesn't make a sound. You ... Read the complete review

Valhalla is one of the most love and well sought after ride on the whole of the Pleasure Beach. If I had to rate it compared to all the other rides in the park, it would be up there with the Big One! Valhalla has been open now for 9 years, and is still one of the biggest attractions in the park. So what is it then? Valhalla is a log flume ride with a difference. The theme is set in Viking times, and has a number of rather large drops, and features that will guarantee to get you soaking wet. The ride is all water, and to ride it you must sit in 'Longboats' which seat 8 people in one longboat. The longboats do not stop moving as they all ... Read the complete review

Back in June of the year 2000 Jonathon Ross and his wife officially opened Valhalla, the world's largest dark ride, at Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Dave and I were amongst the invited guests. Now, come on, are you impressed? Okay I can live with that. Seriously I had entered a competition and won the chance, along with a good many others, to be the first people to ride Valhalla. We also won a night in the Norbreck Castle Hotel which was appalling and I will post my review about that as soon as the category has been set up. As it happens we had already booked a two day break in Blackpool at The Imperial and the night in the Norbreck was the night ... Read the complete review

The anticipation nearly finished us off before we got there. You pass this ride as soon as you arrive at the Pleasure Beach and the queues are phenominal so it goes without saying that it must be worth the wait. Anyway, having put middle aged sensible head on, realised everyone coming off the ride was extremely wet and I didn't want to spend all day looking like a dubious entrant into a wet tee shirt competition. Joint decision to return at the end of the day. Giddy with excitement we joined the queue at 5.30, reached the front of it at 6.25!! and climbed into one of the Viking boat thingys - already got soggy knickers and haven't even set off but I'm sure it'll be ..
