[edit] Statisticts
We need some more statisticts for the infobox, specifically, the number of coasters and water rides at the park, as well as a slogan if they have one. I couldn't find the # of rides on their site, but maybe someone else knows. Also, the 42 acres is from their history section, and it doensn't mention an expansion, but I'm not entireally sure that it is accurate --Phantom784 17:51, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Accoring to the website there are 57 rides and attractions. 35 are family orientated and 8 indoors leaving 14 as the 'main' attractions. You ask about numbers of coasters and water rides. I have no proof of this but from prsonal experience I know that there are 10 coasters and 3 water rides (4 if you include the boat hire)If you want to know all the names just ask. I am not aware of a slogan as they very rarley advertise but I do know that the name is usually shortened to BPB with the loop of the P linked with the bottom loop of the first B. As for expansions. I highly doubt there is going to be one as it is surrounded on 3 sides by roads and hotels with a train line on the East side of it. --yettie0711 15:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
As an after thought I just remembered that when Valhalla was built it was built infront of a disused coaster (called the Water Splash). This coaster remained there for some years (Not sure how many) but has recently been demolished. If this is to construct another ride/attraction I do not know.--yettie0711 15:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Beaver Creek
I did not notice any mention of the minipark within Pleasure Beach named Beaver Creek. This is the minipark specially designed for little children and is where most of the gentle rides are.--yettie0711 15:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
