Earlier today it was announced that the Gold Mine will be replaced by the ‘Thrill-O-Matic’ ride featuring Wallace and Gromit for the 2013 season.
The new ‘Thrill-O-Matic’ ride will feature many of the best known characters and scenes from the film and TV series. Production studio Aardman are working with the park to make plans for the £5.25m ride come to life.
Managing director, Amanda Thompson OBE, said, “We are delighted to be welcoming Wallace & Gromit to Pleasure Beach. Thrill-O-Matic represents a significant investment in the park and we know the characters will be a huge hit with the families who come and visit Pleasure Beach. Wallace & Gromit are national treasures and to have them here re-affirms our commitment to attracting families back to the resort for what we hope will be A Grand Day Out!”
Nick Park, the creator of the beloved characters said, “We are really enjoying working with the Pleasure Beach team on this new ride and new format for Wallace and Gromit and can’t wait to get started on building all the props and set pieces.”
