Geoffrey Thompson envisioned a ride that would build upon the success of the park’s existing dark rides and presented giant versions of effects honed in the park’s smaller rides over the previous century. A waterfall from the mouth is stopped via infrared sensor just as riders are about to pass through it, but occasionally will not stop, soaking riders as they go through. This sign is a farce – if you choose to battle your way through Odin’s great hall, you will get soaked. It then creeps forward slightly, stops and is the then rotated clockwise approximately 90 degrees via a turntable before a second jet of mist fires into the air and the boat begins to move quickly backwards into complete darkness. Turning right past 2 giant Viking warriors, riders see a jungle-like setting where the boat encounters two gigantic log hammers which swoop down and appear to be heading to sandwich crush the boat but simply create a huge splash, further drenching those on board.

The boat then veers around to the left into a final explosive scene where a small fireball goes off to the left shortly followed by a huge fireball explosion to the right. The boat then goes down a large double drop, plummeting into a ring of fire that is extinguished by the splash of water just in time before facing an inferno of longships visibly ablaze and temperatures briefly up to 40 °C when fireballs are ejected. This boat had appeared in Erik the Viking, the KLF America, What Time Is Love? It was renovated before, at the end of 2011, which saw the front facade replaced in its entirety. A huge technical achievement, Valhalla has continued to be refined and adapted to ensure greater reliability and a more consistent experience. The £15m ride opened on the former site of the park’s Fun House (destroyed by fire in 1991), Valhalla opened to great acclaim on 14th June 2000. For the first two years of operation Valhalla had different theme music – the old piece can still be heard on the first lift hill. Notably, the façade structure was replaced in its entirety, including removal of the shop, a new exit, a replacement "faux-rock" facade and restoring the waterfall. Worthy of the Vikings themselves, this cap would make a great gift or for yourself that is sure to turn heads. The boat turns right into a corridor with water pouring down either side.

Valhalla is a large indoor dark ride at Pleasure Beach Blackpool in Lancashire, England. The ride is being reimagined for the 2021 season in time for Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s 125th anniversary year.[1]. Viking chanting music, 'Song of the Elders' (originally composed by Grahame Maclean for the Rhythmos incarnation of the park's Hot Ice Show), plays in the station and throughout the ride, although is not clearly audible in all parts. This was previously the main theme for the ride. Some of the effects on the ride, including lightning, explosions and flames have been reduced after years of operation. It can be noted that the Valhalla music sounds different in each place around the ride – in the ride station it sounds raucous and loud whereas in some places throughout the ride is comes across as more distant and mysterious - probably to do with the positioning of the speakers.
