History
Infusion is a roller coaster now operating at Pleasure Beach Blackpool. The ride opened at the park in 2007, but had been operated by the Pleasure Beach company since 1999, as Traumatizer at sister park Pleasureland Southport. At Pleasureland, the ride was sponsored by the soft drinks firm A.G. Barr (makers of Tizer, hence the name), and operated without any water effects (it was actually suspended over a basic landscaped garden). When Pleasureland was closed in 2006, the ride could then be dismantled and relocated to Blackpool. At Blackpool, the ride was placed between the Big Dipper and the Pepsi Max Big One on the former site of the log flume near the Tom Sawyer bridge and was the first 'new' coaster to open at the park since Morgan's Clown Coaster. The ride now boasts numerous special effects including cascading walls of water and sprinklers, and a photo point and shop in which riders can purchase on-ride photographs.
The ride is specifically themed as a water coaster, with the queueline passing exploding fountains and a small clear blue pond with fish on view easily from the station. The bright blue structure and track replaced the red paint of the TraumaTizer.
