Had to chuckle when reading the review posted on 19th July concerning this truly fantastic ride....

"dont go fast". No, of course not, it's only the tallest, fastest Roller Coaster in Europe ! Yes it may lose it's crown soon (after all it was also the tallest and fastest in the world when it opened 11 years ago).

Admittedly the ride loses some of it's thrill after it's initial drop - almost vertical at hair raising speeds of up to 85mph - however, that first drop alone makes it worth a try for anybody.

Hurtling down at those speeds when all you can see is the busy promenade or the waves crashing into the wall is truly an experience.

Fact remains that Pleasure Beach, Blackpool is Britain's most popular tourist attraction for a reason. It's all about atmosphere, and above all fun.

If you want to spend your day in queues or on long treks between, frankly grossly over-rated rides, then go to Alton Towers. However, if you want to spend your day in a park that is simply alive, then go to the Pleasure Beach !

Remember to smile for that ride photo too !!

The pepsi max is the best ride I have ever been on in whole my life. It is even better than Oblivian at Alton Towers. At the start the ride you are saying to your self I want to get off now I want to get off but then is starts. It takes you 180-200ft high and has a speed of about 80mph going down the drop. Then when you get off you will want to go on it again.

Been on loads of rides but the pepsi max put's them to shame!
Once you get on you feel like you've made a mistake.when you start to climb you can see just how far up you're going.Once it gets to the top you brace yourself and it plumets over 200 ft.
you get off and then you take back what you said at the start.
terrifieing ride, you have to go on it.
