00:00We've been talking a lot about our long-term evolution, but you're probably wondering what our 2025 season is going to look like.
00:07We were going to tell you, but we thought, why not show you instead?
00:12For starters, there's our incredible reimagining of Ice Blast into Launch Pad.
00:18This is so much more than a new name and a lick of paint.
00:22That paint looks pretty sweet to me.
00:25It's a completely new system that will revolutionise the ride experience.
00:29We cannot wait for you to come and try it, which you can this spring when Launch Pad is ready for liftoff.
00:42Now you mention Launch Pad, it's going to be incredible to ride at night.
00:46So, we've added extra late nights so there's even more chance to do just that.
00:50Every single Saturday in August is either a Twilight Thrills or a Late Night Riding with Fireworks event.
00:56Plus, there's more late nights throughout the year.
00:59There's loads more events to look forward to.
01:01Our world-famous Hot Air Show returns with excess.
01:04You can bibbity-bobbity-book our pantomime, Cinderella.
01:08And face your fears, it's our terrifying journey to hell.
01:11If you dare.
01:13Over at Nickland, our favourite Nickelodeon Land characters are back!
01:18With themed months, one-part games, entertainment and plenty of slime!
01:27You loved Walk the Woody so much that we've brought it back for 2025.
01:31Alongside the ever-popular Walk the Big One, we've also got brand new Pleasure Beach fan club events and behind-the-scenes tours.
01:40Speaking of behind-the-scenes, we're launching our all-new podcast which will include exclusive interviews, never-before-heard updates and, if you're lucky, some secrets.
01:50And while you're having a listen to that, head over to the Pleasure Beach store
01:53where we have a whole host of brand new, limited-edition merchandise for the 2025 season.
01:58Go on, treat yourself!
02:01And if all that shopping worked up your appetite, you can order from our restaurants on our Pleasure Beach app.
02:09If you're planning an overnight stay, then the Boulevard won the Best Luxury Hotel in Northern Europe for the second year running.
02:17It also won the Best Luxury Lifestyle Awards in the UK
02:20and the Best General Manager at our Luxury Hotel Awards.
02:25Those weren't the only award wins as Valhalla won Best Water Ride in Europe at the European Star Awards.
02:30To be honest, I've run out of space in Valhalla's trophy cabinet!
02:34One of the ways we keep our rides award-winning is with the huge amount of work that takes place over the winter period.
02:39Once again, we've invested millions into keeping our rides at the top of their game, with some special work taking place in Infusion.
02:46We've got a very talented team working behind the scenes here at Pleasure Beach Resort,
02:50and this year they'll be working on some special projects too.
02:53Here in Wallace & Gromit's Salamatic, we're making some gnome improvements
02:58based on the latest BAFTA-winning film, Vengeance Most Foul.
03:02So keep your eyes peeled for some characterful new additions, including our friend Norbot.
03:07Neat and tidy!
03:09Oh, and there's something about a chicken. Or is it a penguin?
03:13Or actually, it could be a numb.
03:16Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
03:21We're also floating down the River of Dreams and weaving new visions of Wanderlust for newly reimagined River Caves.
03:29We are truly excited to be working on the future of this much-loved family attraction,
03:34and we're already underway, drawing up plans ready to start work for your future enjoyment.
03:40We know we have a huge obligation to you, our guests, to keep creating the new and to continue to restore the traditional favourites.
03:47That's what makes us so special and we appreciate your patience as we go through this transformational period.
03:53We're certain it will be worth the wait.
03:55Now we can't wait for you to join us this 2025 season and experience the rides, shows, events, live entertainment and luxurious hotel stays.
04:05And there's one more thing, we're excited to confirm that Pleasure Beach Resort will soon be home to a colossal 138ft Gyro Swing opening in 2026.
