This is a yawn fest for anyone who has already ridden nemesis or kumali. Initial drop is ace, followed by a good cobra
roll but after this the poor designj really lets it down and you spend the rest of the day with a crick in the left side
of your neck. If I could walk on it right now, I'd go and queue for the revolution.

remembered as traumatizer to me, not infusion, new theme looks brilliant, but placing it next to big one makes it look
smaller than it is.
and well done to blackpool for not letting this go to waist.

I think Infusion is a great ride and looks awsom and give it credit for being the worlds first suspended rollercoaster
completly over water.

Ever since this ride has been at southport, iv'e always wanted to go on it. When i saw vids on you tube of the park
being closed, me and my brother crien our eyes out. Although when I heared that it had been moved to Blackpool I jumped
for joy, but not when we arrived there and it had not yet opened. (groan)Then I heared it had gotten rough. (another
groan) I aint been to a theme park in ages now, and i'm in year 6, and Ive got sats tests to face. (last groan)

infusion is a good ride, the drop is great but in my opinion nemesis at alton towers kicks its ass it has more speed.

This ride is great! A real step forward for Pleasure Beach, it can be a little bit rough in places but not as rough as
other BPB rides, has some great foot choppers and the theming isn't bad. The ride ops actually tell you where to sit and
check your restraints which is more than anyother ride at Blackpool.I could have been a bit longer though. It does look
great and is a good ride, the "ARGGHH!" on top of the shop was funny.

This ride has been slated to death, and when I went on it, I found it to be actually rather fun and possibly the best
ride in the park. This is the only SLC I've ever done so the first impression is good. The hype was unneceassary though.

I suppose going on Infusion or any other ride at PBB already having a bad headache from Sun stroke didnt help but the
first times and the last time I went on Infusion I liked it. Thankyou.

it wasnt a bad ride, from what i've read i dont see what all the bitching is about. Sure its not close to the best, and
yea its traumatizer painted blue, and built with a bit of water under it, but i its still a good ride, and worth a go on
if your at pleasure beach, just dont expect it to be a nemesis killer

Nobody told you you were not a worthy member of the forum. The fact is, the more you post on the forums, the more people
know you and are familiar with you, therefore they will show more openness to your thoughts. There we go. You love
SLC's, there's your reasoning for this ride being so high. Thank you. You 'stand by your decision'? No you don't, you
changed it in an earlier post which is just down there VVVVV. Coming off it smiling? Did I get a bad train then, with
people coming off it complaining of neck and back aches?

And coming back to the whole 'respected CF members' thing, I believe it is the pblic who are the true reviewers for
Infusion, because the ride is usually a new experience for them and they seem to be coming off it smiling not moaning
how bad it is. Fair enough, Infusion is a cheap move for Pleasure Beach and to me it will always be Traumatizer painted
blue, but all the same it is a great coaster for the public and for coaster lovers in general. It might be a tad bit
rough, but then so are all the other rides at Pleasure Beach. I expect I am about to become CF enemy number one, but you
have to realise I have the right to love a coaster and to rate it highly judging by my own experience. I wasn't
horrified and crippled by the ride. I came off exhilarated and laughing to the photo booth. Thats because I enjoy a ride
for what it is- not for what it is up against.

I am sick of being told I am not a worthy member of CF just because I dont have 1000000 posts or because I like rides
other members don't. I absolutely love SLC's and yes I mean the Vekoma ones as well as B&M. I wasn't 'drawn in' to the
hype I knew exactly what I was getting- a good cheap thrill jazzed up a bit and I really like Infusion I dont find it
appaulingly rough like 'respected' members slate it for I find it fun and a great laugh and if that makes me a bad
person then shoot me. I stand by my decision to rate Infusion '10' because it is everything Pleasure Beach needs at the
moment not to mention the fact it looks fantastic looming over the bridge. If people can't respect what other people
regardless to them think of a coaster, then perhaps they are the ones who need involentry brain surgery or a kick out of
society...tata

Ck, it's a general thing I noticed when viewing. The people who rated the ride lower, are the people who have been on
this site for a while, are respected, and are known to have a respected opinion on rides. Whereas the people giving it
ten's, are less known, thus their opinion less respected, as there is less known about their being nor credibility. And
to be honest, if you've been on hundreds of coasters around the world, and you rated an Infusion ten, you've either
suffered involuntary brain surgery, or were bought into the hype surrounding the ride. Of course it get's positive
reviews on it's own site. Negative ones are removed :P

Its surprisingly smooth for a SLC. I think what lets Infusion down is the hype surrounding it- sure its a good ride,
brilliant in fact, but Pleasure Beach have screamed about it for the last 10 months and it is now expected to carry the
park along 2007/08.

I found Infusion to be ALOT smoother than I thought it would be, though the In-Lines were still death.
Would run SO
much better if they had the full size trains, as it looks and feels as if it's going to stall on the Roll Over and
Sidewinder.
Other than that, good fun!

Smithy just because the CC's are low it doesnt necesserily mean people havent been on many coasters it just means they
havent filled it in. I have been on hundreds of coasters in the UK, Europe and America and Austrailia but I havent
properly filled out my CC. Anyways Infusion cain't be a bad coaster because when I went on Monday the queue was going
way past the Big Dipper and onto the Pleasure Beach Racing queue. Plus have you seen how many positive reviews its been
getting on its own website? It may be boring and Pleasure Beach Blackpool constantly lie about how 'intense' (ok 33 gs
yeah yeah whatever!) but cain't people like it without being called liars?

It's not awful but it was rather dull and rough. The fountains didn't make the experience very exciting although I was
laughing the whole way round as it said it pulled 33G. LMAO!!

Sadly, as Patrick said 'Infusion' is extremely painful and nauseating, but I still enjoyed it for some reason. Perhaps
because it looks great. I take back the mark I gave it '10' and replace it with a good 7, purely because it did like
many other SLC's take my breath away and it is brilliant when the water effects actually work (which for me it did i got
a splash in my eye!!) however with the diabolically long queues and the restraints which restrict many of the views and
the headbanging on the heartline loop and in-line-twist, I can see exactly where the true enthusiasts of CF are coming
from. I still think the Revolution is more painful alas but the sheer forces seeping from the ride more than make up for
it and yes, it is still better than Infusion.

Everything Patrick said rings true. Look at the people who rated it highly. People with low CC's, who therefore have not
experience many coasters. Then look at the people who rated it lowly. Richie, Jack, Mike etc...

pmbo99, You are the stupid one, Calling well respected CFers stupid for telling the truth, You probably haven't been on
it anyway if you say the restraints are comfortable, They are bulky and your head smashes into the side of them which
hurts your eas and head, The only part without headbashing is in the lift hill and brake run. The layout of the coaster
is dire and the coaster is forceless in my opinion. It's the worst inverting coaster in the country, And I've been on
The Gauntlet.

This ride is unbelievable. me and my dad rode front seat an what a rush it is! I personally like this layout, allthough
the water jets and the water ramp add to the ride. 10/10

For just a basic SLC, BPB have done a great job with it, the location in such a cramped park is great, the water is fun,
but it doesn't have a tunnel section.

U may be calling me crazy, but i don't really like the way this is geting such bad reveiws. when this was at southport,
i allways whanted 2 go on it since i was 3! (i am now 10) it closed down, traumatizer was moved, we whent 2 blackpool
and it wernt open, so i need 2 go on it next year, ive been really exited about it, and now, im not as exited as i could
be, cos this is getting bad reveiws! Im not saying that the people who hate it cant rate it, it just makes me less
exited. but still, it should be gud....

Well done BPPB for errecting a slightly modified Traumatizer into the limited space between the Big Dipper and Pepsi Max
Big One, which is tight at several places !! ALthough not the best ride of its type in the country it is a worthy
addition to the Pleasure Beach replacing the rather dull Log Flume Ride that was crap anyway. 7/10
