BLACKPOOL PLEASURE BEACH United Kingdom (Abbreviation: BPB)
Park News - (4/23/08) In a very strange sounding news article, two men are now facing charges of rape against four 13-year old girls for actions taken in the queue and on the actual Pepsi Max Big One coaster as well. While this is terrible news of course, I can’t help but scratch my head and wonder just how anything was done ON the ride itself. (4/21/08) Club Pleasure Beach will be holding an action packed weekend at Blackpool Pleasure Beach on May 17-19th that will include ERT on Infusion, backstage tours and more. On a sad note however Theme Park Review reports that they are removing The Whip from the park as the years in the salty air have not been so kind to it. Sad they didn’t choose to try and restore this classic attraction. (2/19/08) After over a century of offering “free admission”, things will change at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in 2009 with the introduction of a new admission fee. At that point in time guests will either have to pay £5 for what they are calling a “Freedom Pass” just to get in and pay extra for attractions as they go, or buy the Unlimited Ride Wristband option. To be fair the Freedom Pass will include admission to the Chinese Puzzle Maze, the Pleasure Beach Express train, the Monorail, Noah’s Ark and a stage show. (1/29/08) Club Pleasure Beach has invited members to breakfast on Saturday, February 9th for the start of the 2008 season and Great British Thrill Weekend. You can find out all the details here. (12/11/07) Theme Park Review has posted several photos showing off an extensive rehab taking place on Blackpool’s Wild Mouse. (11/20/07) You can read a small trip report from Blackpool’s Winter Weekends at RideMad. (10/23/07) RideMad is back with their series of behind the scenes photos of UK rides. This time we get a look inside Space Invader 2 at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
2008 - Adventure Golf - (2/28/08) Blackpool Pleasure Beach will add Adventure Golf just outside the park on Flagstaff Gardens.
