'We want people to help us prove it once and for all'
Blackpool 's Pleasure Beach Resort is challenging claims that thrillseekers average just five rides per day during a typical visit to a theme park – and is offering free entry to people willing to put it to the test.
The seaside attraction wants to recruit a team of ‘Queue Review Officers’ to visit free of charge over the bank holiday weekend and report how many rides they experience in a single day. Queue Review Officers will be asked to meticulously document the number of rides they conquer, record average queue times, and provide any feedback.They will queue under normal circumstances without Speedy Passes.
Andy Hygate, director of operations at Pleasure Beach Resort, said: "As an avid rollercoaster enthusiast myself I know all too well the frustrations of waiting in long queues, as well as the importance of packing as much value as possible into a trip – particularly in the current economy. We were shocked that almost two thirds of people expect to get on so few rides at a theme park because it’s not the experience we know to be the case at Pleasure Beach Resort.
Interested individuals should visit www.pleasurebeachresort.com/queue-review and complete the online form by Tuesday . Five successful applicants will become Pleasure Beach Queue Review Officers and receive a pair of complimentary tickets to be used at Pleasure Beach on Saturday .
