Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool

...would write a review on Blackpool Pleasure Beach as I have now been twice and feel I should let others know how great this place is. Being a big fan of themeparks, I was honestly hesitant to visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach as I imagined it being a few fairground rides and I genuinely didn't think it'd compare to other places I'd been to. However, it is now my favourite themepark of all time, and here's why... == PRICES == Adult tickets are usually ...
...are excellent if you visit Blackpool literally every week! However, when tickets can cost as low as £15 for an adult (they cost £15 usually during Wintery months) you would have to go 13 times to get your money's worth! Season Passes are great if you go to the themepark very, very regularly. If you don't, then don't bother! == PARKING == There are Blackpool Pleasure Beach carparks located right outside the themepark. The prices fluctuate - I have ...

Review of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool

Blackpool pleasure beach has been an institution of fun for people of all ages for many years now and throughout this review I intend to give you not only an insight into what it has to offer today but also an insight into the history of this great theme park. A 42 acre site stood empty at the south end of Blackpool's promenade until 1896 when W.G Bean bought the land with dreams of turning it in to one of the finest theme parks in the world, as ...
...corners of the world putting Blackpool pleasure beach firmly on the map. Although no longer the worlds biggest or fastest it still attracts more people to it each year than any other ride. Rumour has it a new record will be made at the pleasure beach by the arrival of an even taller and faster coaster. As I find out more I will update my review. As the new millennium arrived another huge investment of 15 million pounds was made to build a new enclosed ...

...so far only visit to Blackpool was last here for my boyfriends birthday, we went for a long weekend, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it...we stayed in a cheap hotel, although it was cheap it was simple and clean, just right for getting your head down... The Pleasure Beach was better than I expected with a wide range of rides, so many we couldn't fit them all in on one day...the pier was so-so and Blackpool in general ...

You can also reach Blackpool by train and plane. == Hotels == Look up the hotels around Blackpool and there are always great deals and it really has a wide variety, depending on your budget. We didn't want to spend loads on the hotel as we didn't plan on spending a lot of time there anyway. Our hotel worked out at a great £25 per person per night, and ...

It was a great time to visit as it was before schools had broken up and there was hardly anyone about! We decided to visit the park on Tuesday, and we got to the park just after it's opening time, which was around 9. I wish we had left it a bit longer because although I had read on the website that rides would be ...

Review of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool

Blackpool Pleasure Beach was founded in 1896 with the aim of building an American style theme park which made adults feel like children again and has grown until over 100 years later it is now Britain’s top theme park and rates as the 14th most popular amusement park in the world. I have now joined the ranks of 5.5 million people flocking there annually and have visited twice, the first time in 2008 and we had such a good time there that we were ...

There is some limited parking in the areas around the Pleasure Beach, the last time we found a small private car park charging £5 for a days parking but there is also metered parking on the street. The park is also readily accessible by public transport with a tram stop right outside. Most people will choose to buy a wristband which ...

Review of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool

Blackpool was one of those sea side places that I was always taken too when I was a kid, that and Llandudno for some reason, however when Blackpool was mentioned I always used to get excited because the tackiness of Blackpool is exciting for a kid. However, as I have got older, I don't seem to have grown out of Blackpool being one of the better places for a day trip if you come from the Midlands. Two hours drive up North of the M6, if that and you ...
...though and love anything fun, Blackpool Pleasure Beach has always appealed to me and is one of those places that I could spend all day, the good thing about it to is it is free to walk around, no entrance fee so if you want to walk round, go into one of the numerous arcades there and not actually go on any rides, then you can do at your leisure. Although the main attraction of Blackpool Pleasure Beach has got to be the huge amounts of rides, there ...

Review of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool

Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Probably the most famous of the Blackpool attractions attracts about 6.2 million visitors per year, in my opinion it is best to visit within the months of good weather as some of the rides may be closed in adverse weather conditions, unfortunately as this is usually the busiest time I recommend arriving at the park early to avoid the queues for the most popular rides. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is easily reached via the M55 ...
...There are a pletitude of gift stalls and gift shops also available supplying all the usual memorabilia, mugs, soft toys, sweets and chocolate. All in all it makes for a worthwhile day out and caters for all ages, I would definitely recommend a visit if Blackpool is being visited. ...

Unbelievably Blackpool pleasure beach has been standing in the same spot now for over 100 years (since 1896 to be precise). This place has been bringing fun to all ages for all those years and has only ever gotten better and better.

There is a real magic about this place, well the whole of ...

The ride is an enclosed log flume ride which takes you through the ages stone age , ice age, and so on and so forth it has a steep ...

Blackpool Pleasure Beach a place were I have visited every year for the last 20 years. I love it. It is pretty well placed to get to from the Motorways (M55, M6) and also has a train station accessable from Preston Train Station. The park is real value for money with the introduction of wristband, as long as you make the most of them. PRICE (rating 4/5) Normally £29 for the day although this price does tend to fluctuate throughout the year. Also ...
...ebay. £29 each for a family can work out quite expensive but no more than taking the family on a premiership football match that last an hour and a half. If you arrive early and stay all day there is real value for money. You can even talk a stroll up the prom and return later if you wish. Wristbands allow unlimited riding all day long as many times as you wish plus a free seat to the amazing shows such as Hot Ice (ice skating show) and Illusionists ...

I visited Blackpool Pleasure Beach last year and I thought it was great value for money. The weather in Blackpool wasnt always great during my 4 day stay but this park didnt disappoint where ride were concerned or eating out. The general atmosphere of this park is happy and fun which is great for the family however the atmosphere here is nothing compared to theme parks like Disneyland or Universal Studios, but you get what you pay for with this park ...
...loads of great rides in Blackpool Pleasure Beach, including the Pepsi Max Big One, which is a really high rolarcoaster with a massive drop, you can see all over Blackpool when your at the top of this ride. The Valhalla which is a viking themed water ride that brings you through ice cold and firey hot places while you get soaked (and I mean soaked) in the different plunges that it takes, i recommend buying the water proff pancho coats sold outside ...
