This is the best POV of the big one, it’s so strange that it’s now almost silent going through the tunnel now with the new track

Went on this today, it was my first time to go on a rollercoaster and let me tell you I was so scared at first, but the moment I went on the ride I was enjoying every minute of it with my friends! Made such lovely memories ❤️

many happy memories at pleasure beach with my family, i can't wait to come back and ride everything again

I used to visit Blackpool, Morecambe and Southport many years ago with my parents, before this coaster existed. I no longer live in the UK, but I have wanted to ride this for ages. Yesterday, I finally made it. Great experience.

Was on it yesterday just before 6pm. Scorching day, she flew round the track! Fastest I’ve ever felt it go. Superb!

The first drop on the back row of the big one is my favorite bit of this park. The front Seat on Infusion is the most exciting ride overall, and I think the big dipper is the most fun overall.

Had a big smile on my face all the way through this. Amazing viewpoint.

Came here on Saturday, first time ever going on rollercoasters. I was always afraid of them when I was a kid so I never went to theme parks, but two mates wanted to do this so I thought I should give it a go (expecting to hate it nonetheless). We started on The Big Dipper, which was deceivingly thrilling! Then we did Infusion which I really didn't want to do, but after the initial fear after the start I loved it, and then it was The Big One... that drop is like nothing I have ever experienced. Terrifying yet utterly brilliant! Can't believe I enjoyed it 😁

I went on the big one today seven times in a row I just love it can’t wait to go back

[luvsm_]

literally just rode this today this is the best experience i’ve ever had! loved it ❤

My fave Big One POV was always the one from 'where seagulls dare' but this just tops it, has it all, most of all the unique soothing sound of the lift chain. This is THE definitive POV of Britian's Tallest it in. Scott has done us proud here 11/10

[ALN]

Without a doubt the best, clearest and smoothest video I have EVER seen of the Big1

Well done...

[twistedcoasters]

Loved watching the transition from old track to new track from this angle!

[harrh]

great pov of one of the best rides in the UK

[joshuawells]

The new section of track looks lovely, and feels very smooth compared to the rest, I’d love to see the whole thing look as colourful as the new track like it used to!

[EastMidlandsSteam]

This is an incredible video! Would love to see an illuminations version later in the year

I went about a week ago for my birthday and had the time of my life 10/10 blackpool is my favourite theme park and ive been to loads!

God, I just love the classic, homemade like engineering of Arrow coasters. Would have been such a joy to work for them during their heyday. Just so cool seeing their solutions to little problems. Like 2:20 easy way to make sure your supports line up is put a flat 1" plate, level on top of support post and just mount track to the plate instead of directly to support; that way plenty of give/room to place track on at top. Since it's all mostly hand welded track. Super simple, little wasteful but it works. Support could be like 2" off center and you'd still be fine with plenty of space to mount track to support. Like at 0:54 how they put the plastic on the anti roll back device, I'm guessing for less friction, smoother operation etc. 2:21 at top right, on helix in front of camera.... Can't figure out what those weird mounts on top of support are, that are hooked to track with threaded rod. Weird. No idea what that's for; maybe extra tie downs for track to supports but doesn't seem like it'd be doing anything. 1:30 The white trellise structure they used to span the long distance between the only spots they could place 200' supports. Clever, ugly, but clever. Lots of welds to inspect, but was best they could do with their track type and tech at time. Nowadays Intamin double spine or B&M track could probably make those spans without weirdness like that.

Great POV of my favourite pleasure beach ride. This was an engineering marvel back in the day when it first got constructed and opened and was at that time the tallest in the world I believe. There's still an air of cockyness about it now even after almost 30 years and it still deserves respect.

Been on it and like all coasters magnificent engineering in itself.Momentum measured to such tiny tolerances and friction and wind etc.Great ride.
