Founded nearly 130 years ago, Blackpool Pleasure Beach is one of the world’s most iconic theme parks. It is home to some of Britain’s oldest rollercoasters including the Big Dipper. Opened on the Lancashire seafront in 1896, this historic attraction has a number of new attractions in the pipeline.
Launch Pad, opening in 2025, will whisk you 210ft above ground on a towering steel structure and reach speeds of 80mph. Experience moments of weightlessness, a thrusting G-force, and a stomach-dropping descent. The following year a new £8.7million spinning pendulum ride reaching 138ft, dubbed ‘Project MMXXVI‘, is due to open.
The City Adventurers visited Blackpool Pleasure Beach a while ago and tried the current rides. Some of these may be closed for the forthcoming season to maximise efficiency, according to reports in the press.
