Blackpool Pleasure Beach named among best UK attractions

The newspaper said: “Launch Pad is newly reopened for 2025, a stomach-churning vertical ascent of 210ft at 80mph, followed by an equally hair-raising descent.

“If this ride sounds too much, NickelodeonLand provides gentler themed fun.”

Tickets cost from £39 for adults and £34 for children aged 11 years and under, according to The Telegraph.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been a popular spot for families in Lancashire and beyond for years with new rides and attractions being added and adapted regularly.

More than 34,000 reviews have been left on Google Reviews with visitors sharing their experiences at the attraction.

One thrill seeker commented: “Had an amazing time when we visited on a Friday. It was just before the school holidays, so there were a lot of school trips, but we’re well handled throughout the park.

“Queue times were long so we bought the VIP Speedy Pass. This was worth every penny. the booking system was fantastic on the app were you booked the time then went through the speedy lane.”

Another visitor said: “Amazing experience, we chose a weekday to visit and the queues weren’t bad at all. Loved the roller coasters, especially Revolution🤩 The staff and operators are super sweet and helpful. Would definitely recommend a visit!!”

A reviewer on Tripadvisor said: “I have been to this Exceptionally Beautiful and Charming, and Amazing Beach called Blackpool Pleasure Beach many times before many years ago.

Another visitor said: “Fantastic day out with my family. We’ve been visiting since I was a child, and lovely to see my children enjoying the same rides.

“The park was busy, but we didn’t have to queue for too long anywhere. Stayed at the Big Blue and were able to enter quickly in the morning and ride the train back to the hotel at the end of the day. Everywhere was looking clean and tidy. Well worth a visit.”
