About Pleasure Beach Resort

Pleasure Beach Resort, still widely known by its former name Blackpool Pleasure Beach, is an amusement park on Blackpool's South Shore in Lancashire. It was founded in 1896 by A. W. G. Bean and his partner John Outhwaite, and its current managing director is Amanda Thompson.

The park holds many records, including the largest collection of wooden roller coasters of any park in the UK. There are four of them: Big Dipper, Blue Flyer, Grand National and Nickelodeon Streak. Many of the park's other roller coasters are record-breaking attractions in their own right.

Highlights

  • Four wooden roller coasters, a UK record
  • Founded in 1896 on the South Shore
  • Grand National and Big Dipper coasters
  • Good for families
  • Outdoor, best on a dry day
