Yes, the Big One (formerly the Pepsi Max Big One) at Blackpool Pleasure Beach has experienced a few notable incidents in its history. The most significant occurred in July 1994, during its inaugural season, when a computer failure caused a train to collide with another already in the station, resulting in 26 injuries. A similar collision happened in August 2000, where a braking system failure led to a secondary train-to-train impact that injured 16 people. More recently, in June 2011, a train stopped abruptly on the lift hill, causing minor whiplash injuries to some passengers. In 2026, the ride is considered very safe due to extensive renovations; between 2019 and 2024, the park undertook a massive "re-tracking" project, replacing hundreds of meters of steel to ensure a smoother and more reliable experience. While the ride's height (213 feet) and coastal winds sometimes cause it to "stop" or "e-stop" (emergency stop) as a safety precaution, these are part of the ride's modern computerized safety protocols designed to prevent the types of mechanical failures seen in its early decades.
