Why does Avalanche coaster keep valleying at Blackpool Pleasure Beach this season?

In this video I take a look at the repeated stoppages, evacuations and recoveries on one of the park’s most iconic coasters, explain what valleying actually means, and discuss why an ageing ride may now be facing some major challenges.

Could this classic Mack bobsled coaster need serious investment, or is the park simply trying to keep it going for as long as possible?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Would you save Avalanche, or is it time for something new?
