About Blackpool Pleasure Beach

There’s some good things to do at Pleasure Beach, which also has shows. Take a ride on the Pepsi Max Big One, & get ready to do it again on the Revolution or experience the classic twin tracked coaster the Grand National.

Some of the major rides include Valhalla, this is the biggest water ride ever to be constructed in Pleasure Beach. The Pepsi Max Big One opened is 190 feet high and with speeds reaching up to 65mph, the Big One claims to be the UK's tallest fastest coaster (Stealth is faster though). With the Ice Blast riders are launched up a 110 ft tower at 60mph, and let back down again for an free-fall descent. The ride Bling lifts you a whopping 100 ft above the ground as you get spun through the air on giant glittering gondolas in three different directions at mega fast speeds as the ride pulls 2.5gs. INFUSION… An infusion of the elements, soars to heights and takes riders through a watery experience.

Where to eat.
Pleasure Beach, Blackpool is home to more than 20 cafes and stands offering a decent range of places to eat from the fish and chips to the donuts. Arrive for breakfast, stay for lunch or dinner, or take a snack on the go! -- Last edited by Oliver Preece
