An amazing amount crammed into a small place - one of my favourites.
Visited : October 2002
I'd always wanted to go to Blackpool Pleasure Beach ever since I saw it in the PC Game Roller Coaster Tycoon. However when we got there in October 2002 it was still a big surprise. Some of the rides are really old. We went on one built in 1904 !
As well as the big rides, there's plenty for Children - including a whole area dedicated to them (you should have seen Mummy & Daddy trying to squeeze into the Zipper Dipper !)
Cost for Mummy, Daddy and Me £70
We bought Wristbands, but you can get individual tickets. However this looks quite expensive.
You can enter and walk around for free !
One or two rides only. No themed areas.
Not too bad. Good toilets.
