Pleasure Beach Blackpool is Britain's top, free tourist attraction and welcomes over 6.2 million visitors annually. It lies in 42 acres, started with just one ride in 1896, and celebrated its Centenary in 1996.
The most awesome rides on the planet
Britain's biggest privately funded millennium investment, Valhalla at Pleasure Beach, Blackpool officially opened in June 2000. Costing £15 million to build, Valhalla is the biggest most spectacular dark ride ever to be constructed by mankind. The £12 million Pepsi Max Big One opened in 1994 and is the tallest and fastest rollercoaster in Europe. At 235 feet high and with speeds reaching 85mph, the Big One is certainly head and shoulders above the rest. 1997 saw
the opening of yet another UK first, IceBlast; riders are catapulted up a 210 foot tower at 80mph, and thrust back down again for an incredible free-fall descent. In 2002 the sensational new £1million white knuckle ride Spin Doctor opened with riders spinning 360 degrees through the air to heights of 120 feet at speeds of over 60 mph. And in 2004 the diamond- knuckle experience Bling opened. Riders are lifted a whopping 100 feet above the ground and spun through the air on giant glittering gondolas in three different directions at speeds of over 60mph as the ride pulls 2.5gs. Brilliant fun for all the family
Endless hours of fun, packed into 42 acres make Pleasure Beach, Blackpool the ideal
place for all visitors - whatever your age.
