Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been named the 8th best park in the world, the 4th best park in Europe and the best park in the UK, according to TripAdvisor Global Awards. A remarkable achievement! Some might disagree, but many people clearly love the charm and nostalgia of the

@piersmorgan I feel disappointed that you referred to Meghan as an attention seeker over her suicidal thoughts. What a way to stigmatise someone who is suffering internally. Why can’t you use your platform for good? Would Diana agree with you bullying her son and his wife?

This guy is everything wrong with theme park enthusiasts. He thinks that all gay people are promiscuous and that women should cover up. He even made a video saying that gay people visiting theme parks is a “problem”. I hope the parks ban you when you go viral.

Sad news. Pleasure Beach has slipped back into the red, with £522k pre-tax losses recorded for the year to March 2023, compared to a £8.3 million profit the year before. As we head into 2024, it’s important to think about supporting parks that are privately funded.

A lot of people I spoke to over the weekend all had the same opinion, that The Big One is more intimidating than Hyperia. I found that very interesting! You only really get a sense of height on Hyperia on the stall loop, whereas on The Big One it’s from the slow climb.
