Afternoon Extras Manx Radio

Alex caught up for an exclusive chat with Adam Slevin the Director of Creative Design & Experience and Andy Hygate the Operations Director at Pleasure Beach Resort in Blackpool.
The park is pretty much Alex's second home... so he was keen to discuss what happens behind the scenes to keep the park running with rides that are well over 100 years old, to the latest in modern roller coasters.

One of Blackpool Pleasure Beach's biggest attractions is the huge viking themed Valhalla ride. Opened as the largest, private Millennium project in 2000, it has been closed since 2019 for a multi-million pound re-imagining. Now ready for re-opening... Alex talked Beth into having a ride on it! They also caught up with the team behind the re-imagining to talk about all the work that's gone on behind the scenes.

Loads of fun to be had on 16/17 July at the Beach in Port Erin... Alex chats to Steve George one of the organisers. 

Karl Millar popped in to chat with Alex about the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride taking place on May 22nd to raise money for Prostate Cancer & Men's Mental Health. If you fancy taking part in this worldwide event register online at www.gentlemansride.com #iom #manxradio

Alex chats to Mike, Lottie (who he accidentally keeps calling Charlie) and Liam about the huge range of events coming up this Easter for the Rush Hour event which are suitable for families and enthusiasts alike on the Island's Unique Heritage Transport systems. 

Alex chats to Karl Millar from MyProm and Oliver Cheshire from Douglas Town Centre Management about the free parking available for the Red Arrows Display this weekend brought to you by Manx Radio, IFGL and the Domestic Events fund... oh and they tried some special Red Arrows food aswell!
