Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Blackpool Pleasure Beach's Attractions

With 125 rides and attractions, all ages are catered for, starting with the younger kids who’ll go crazy for Nickelodeon Land. Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort has 12 awesome rides and a host of familiar faces like Dora the Explorer on her World Voyage, the Rugrats' Lost River and Wallace & Gromit's Thrill-O-Matic. If you’re lucky, you’ll even spot Spongebob Squarepants at Nickelodeon Land!

From fairground rides and extraordinary exhibits like Ripley's Believe It or Not to even the Circus of Horrors...

Big Thrills

Anyone who fancies a fright should head straight for the biggest roller coasters. Big Dipper offers some old-fashioned thrills and is one of the UK's few wooden coasters! Why not tackle the park's tallest rollercoaster: The Big One? It also was once the UK’s tallest and fastest roller coaster ride with speeds of up to 87 mph! If anything can top that, it's ICON, the UK's first and only double-launch rollercoaster ride, which will have you experience acceleration 4 times that felt in a Lamborghini Gallardo!

Don't forget to experience Infusion - the world's FIRST looping coaster over suspended water! Located in the North Park area, you'll find classic rides and big thrills like the Icon. Not forgetting Europe's only twin-track coaster: the Grand National! Can you brave that?

Ever wanted to try bobsleighing? Well, at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, you can't really do that... BUT there is a bobsled coaster called Avalanche! A popular steel bobsled coaster at the seaside park. Travel up high as you chug up the train ride before you zoom down!

Whether you take on the tallest roller coaster, brave a dark ride or get ready for a soaking with a boat ride - there are numerous rides here that will help make the best memories.

Family Rides

You've heard of the American-based Nickelodeon brand, right? Of course, you have, and here at Pleasure Beach Blackpool Resort, you can explore a world dedicated to your kid's favourite Nickelodeon characters at Nickelodeon Land! Like Avatar: The Last Airbender, as you ride the waves with a whoosh, or how about ordering up some Krusty Krab burgers as you catapult into the sky?

Don't forget the famous Nickelodeon Streak ride - a classic wooden roller coaster that will have you thundering along. Want to meet Spongebob Squarepants? You better get prepared to visit his pineapple under the sea and get wet with Splash Bash! Plus, other favourite characters like Patrick Star and Squidward!

Then, if you're in the mood to get a bit spooky, follow a ghost story on the Ghost Train!

Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort Water Rides

It's not a seaside park without getting a little wet, right? And one water ride to add to your bucket list is Valhalla - the best water ride ever! Both water and a dark ride, Valhalla uses special effects that incorporate fire, water, and snow! Valhalla was named Europe’s Best Water Ride at the European Star Awards in 2025, marking at least its fourth time winning that title!

If you are in the mood to get even more drenched why not try out the UK's wettest log flume... The Boat Tub Ride, AKA The Big Boat Log Flume, is located on the South Pier of Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort; you can't miss it! So, whether you're in a flume or a boat tub ride, you're bound to get wet, so bring a change of clothes!
