What's On Theme Park

Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool

Attractions Theme parks

Brilliant, boisterous Blackpool is host to the Pleasure Beach, Britains top tourist attraction. Join 6 million other visitors for an experience like no other in the UKs version of Las Vegas. Standing out among over 125 rides and attractions is The Big One*, towering over all others at 235 ft high and plunging death defyingly over the North Sea at speeds of 85mph. Other heart-stopping rides include the Viking waterfest Valhalla, the diamond knuckle ride Bling and new attraction Infusion, which loops in and out of waterfalls and fountains. This park has everything from thrilling long-time favourites - the Big Dipper, Grand National and the Avalanche - to more leisurely cruises around the River Caves and Alices Wonderland. So just surrender to the highs and lows of this unashamedly tacky, thrill a minute, town.
