The Blackpool Pleasure Beach has posibly got the greatest selections of roller coasters in the world and all in such a small space. It reminds you of how Blackpool used to be with the candy floss stalls and an array of family amusements.
If you are visiting the Pleasure Beach then you need to plan to spend the full day and closely budget of how much you want to spend.
The cheapest way of doing this is to purchase a wrist band off ... ...lost in the crowd.
Blackpool is one for Hen nights and Stag partys, so dont be suprised to find large groups of adults that have been on the beer all day , attempting to go on the rides. I am not trying to put anybody off, but if you keep this in mind, it could well avoid disapointment.
As with all things like this, there is the usual gang of pick-pockets that opperate the area, but on a brighter side, the majority of these people are known to ...

The experience that you get when you go to Pleasure Beach is incredible. There are so many rides to go on, shows to see, games to play, and gifts to buy.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach attracts around 6million visitors a year, which placed it joint 11th (with Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida) in the "Attendance 2006" for worldwide theme parks making it the only UK Theme park to make it in the top 25. Entrance to the park is completely free (which is great if you're not a ride person or unable to ride) and you can buy wristbands for unlimited rides either on the day you go, or, on their website www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com ... ...I have not ridden yet.

...it . :( Blackpool is perfect for families to have a good time. 9 of us went in total and we had a ball. It included all ages from 9 to 54. Later on we went to central pier and had a go on the few small rides. It was 25 tokens for £20. First we went on the waltzes. It charged 2 tokens per person. I only had one go and it lasted ages. Then my aunty an others went on and they were only on it for a short time which was unfair. Following on from this ... ...each. As it went round we stopped at he top, it was very windy and was raining! My little sister started crying and I was having a heart attack (joking). It was really scary. I was thankful when I got off. Next I went on the crazy frog. 3 tokens per person. And it is definitely not for someone who had a sore back (like me). But I still had fun on it. Walking back to the car I got candyfloss which I enjoyed. The only negative was walking back we had ...

Advantages: Fantastic day out. Disadvantages: None.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is an absolutley fabulous day out. I vist Blackpool Pleasure Beach about 5 or 6 times a year, every year, and I love it so much. There is such a wonderful atmosphere about it. It's the perfect day out for thrill seekers, as there are big rides there like The Pepsi Max Big One and the parks most recently opened ride Infusion. Not forgetting the Irn Bru revolution, and the Ice Blast. Pleasure beach is also a perfect place for ... ...dance on the dance machines (A personal favourite of mine) or shoot some zombies on House Of The Dead 4.

Advantages: Great Way to Spend a Day Disadvantages: Price!
...back from a weekend in Blackpool and we decided to spend the day at the Pleasure Beach, after spending our £30 on a Show and Ride wristband, at first I thought this was pricey, but after finding out you could also buy tickets at a £1 each in books of 4, and some of the rides being 8 tickets, and the wristband includes one of the shows in the eve, thought it was definately better value for money, we headed off round the pleasure beach! So many rides ... ...definately getting our moneys worth, a couple of things we went on more than once!! Valhalla definately had to be my favourite, but be warned you get VERY wet! Its well worth investing £1.50 in the rain macs that are sold, unless of course it is the middle of summer then its a great way to cool off! Also worth investing in is the "picture pass" getting 3 photos, fridge magnets or keyrings for £10.50 saving £3 in the process. What I also liked was ...

Advantages: fantastic rides Disadvantages: some rides may be old , but the older they are, the better they can be.
Blackpool pleasure beach is a very high quality fair ground, which is suitable for all ages and for all the family. admission is £20, and you can either have a unlimited ride wristband or for the older people in the family, a visitor pass for those who just sit and enjoy the family members having fun. for the little ones is a seperate park especially designed for shorter and cuter editions to the family. those rides range from a calm rollercoaster ... ...and many many more. blackpool pleasure beach is home to the second tallest thing in blackpool measuring in at 220 feet!!! the big one is a mindblowingly fast rollercoaster which has a fabulous view when all illuminations are on at night. to finish it off when you board off the rollercoaster is a photoshop to buy your memories from the ride and you can also buy the BIG ONE merchandise. the rides are all free with a wristband but there are resturants ...

Advantages: Great day out for 3 years and over Disadvantages: Not much in the way of rides for under 3 years
I went to Blackpool with hubby and four children one of which is 11 months. All of the children enjoyed the rides but my 11 month old was refused admittance on all rides but 2 which was the monorail and a small train that goes around beaver creek (childrens section). I was very dissappointed as there wasn't an under 2 section. Perhaps just a small indoor soft games room would suffice. Lots of parents/carers were walking around holding the children ... ...am sure something could be done at relatively little cost compared with what white knuckle rides cost to devise and build. I ended up looking after little one full time so then the rest of the children got full use of their wristbands needless to say i didn't!!! I do understand there was no charge for the little one but i think there still be some provision.
in respnse to some of the comments....I did say the rest of the children did enjoy the rides ...

Advantages: great rides Disadvantages: expensive entry and food
blackpool pleasure beach is great to go to and with the new ride infusion just opened why not go, there is lots of great rides, areas seperate for younger children.
i have been quite a few times, the rides are great, when there open, we went in november when only half the park was open for £15 pound it wasnt bad however with the high winds most of the rides were closed.
i also went in febuary, that was great, £15 and the whole park was open, allthough ... ...our way there and back and with no car it was suprisingly easy, theres trains which drop you off within 5mins walkin distance(right next to the blackpool pleasure beach hotel).
overall the park is great, it seems a bit expensive but you get your moneys worth, great parks, great rides. ...

Advantages: so much choices, nice environment Disadvantages: the price is a bit high, and most rides are not suitable for children.
Very good place for leisure. I like most of the rides, especially the 'big one', the price of day rider is fare, but for single rides is a bit expensive. the environment is good as well, as it lies on the beach, people could get fun not only from the rides, but also the beautiful environment of beach. there are so many rides that we could choose, more than other similar places such as Alton Tower, and the average waiting time is lesser than others. ...
