Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Get ready for Infusion

A brand new steel beast is growing day by day at Pleasure Beach, Blackpool. Construction is well underway on Infusion, the latest thrill ride, with the piling stage now complete.
In just 5 weeks, piling specialists Stents installed more than 650 piles, with a mixture of open-ended steel and precast concrete, using a brand new Junttan PM23 rig. The piles carry combined forces of 500kN in compression, 50-250kN in tension and 35kN in lateral and will support the giant steel columns of Infusion – a suspended looping rollercoaster with five incredible loops and rolls, cascading walls of water and sky high, heart-stopping, fabulous fun!
Over 100 tonnes of steel reinforcement has already gone into the groundwork, and principal contractors Easibuild are continuing with foundation works. This week Global Engineering begin steelwork installation for the ride station and control equipment and at the end of the month, Ride Constructions Services from Germany arrive on site to begin installation of the ride itself. This will involve fixing into place 2,200ft of twisting track with a weight of over 560 tonnes.
Pleasure Beach Managing Director, Amanda Thompson, said: “Infusion is yet another example of major investment at Pleasure Beach at a cost of £8m. I know white knuckle fans will love this new addition to the park and so will our six million visitors a year who enjoy our unique mix of cutting edge technology and traditional rides.”
