If you’ve ever been at Blackpool Pleasure Beach and seen The Big One stop on the lift hill, you’ve probably wondered what’s going on. Lift stoppages are part of roller coaster safety systems, and in this video I break down exactly why they happen and what the ride is doing when it pauses.
This video covers lift hill stops, block systems, and general roller coaster safety using The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach as the main example.
So if you've ever wondered if the Big One is safe, and how it works, you may find this video interesting.
