Avalanche (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)

Avalanche is a steel bobsled roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Resort in Blackpool, England.

[2] A visit to Mack-owned Europa Park, where the company's first bobsled product had already been released in 1985, inspired the creation of Avalanche.

[citation needed] The ride has 1,160 feet (350 m) of track and the cars reach a maximum speed of around 50 mph.

The loading platform room is decorated with emblems of different Swiss regions and various pictures of famous Bobsled teams, there is a predominant picture of the British Bobsleigh team of the Calgary Winter Olympics, 1988 which sits alongside a plaque commemorating the ride's opening by Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards.

[citation needed] Avalanche appears in the video game RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe in the Blackpool Pleasure Beach scenario.
