Want a party weekend with plenty of ups and downs?

It’s still the UK’s No 1 tourist attraction.

It has more rollercoasters than any other theme park in Europe, and the Pepsi Max Big One is still the tallest coaster in the UK - it’s Blackpool Pleasure Beach!

If you’re looking for a full day of experiences that will leave you fried, wired, thrilled and quite possibly scared silly then welcome to the easiest choice you’ll ever have to make: if you’re planning a hen or stag weekend in Blackpool then Blackpool Pleasure Beach has to be your no.1 choice of activity.

You probably don’t need convincing of that, but just in case, here’s all the evidence you’ll ever need to prove that Pleasure Beach, Blackpool will offer you experiences you simply won’t find anywhere else in Europe.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is available at the following Party Weekends locations: Er… Blackpool.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach roll of honour.

It may have first opened its doors in 1896 but Pleasure Beach, Blackpool shows no signs of ageing. With 10 rollercoasters, 4 top-flight shows and an array of places to eat and drink it’s no wonder the Pleasure Beach has been top UK attraction for the past decade! According to Wikipedia, in September 2007, the Pleasure Beach was judged joint fifth best amusement park in the world and the highest ranked European park.*

Also, Pleasure Beach was voted second best seaside park in the world. The Grand National roller coaster made the list of Top 50 Wooden Roller Coasters and the Pepsi Max Big One was in the Top 50 Steel Coasters section*. Case made? We think so, but there’s so much more…

Blackpool Pleasure Beach - The Rides

Pleasure Beach crams more rides into its 42 acres than any park of comparable size on earth. We could give you the lowdown on every single ride in the place but you’d be reading for a very, very long time when you’re probably better off just getting in touch with us on Freephone: 08000 141428, letting us arrange your accommodation and your Blackpool Pleasure Beach wristbands, and coming to see for yourself.

But just to whet your appetite, here are a few highlights…

• Ride the awesome Infusion. You’re suspended below a looping coaster and above water making it the only ride of its kind on the planet!
• The Pepsi Max Big One – at over 200 ft tall it’s the tallest rollercoaster in the UK and reaching top speeds of 74mph it’s one of the fastest. Scary? Er…yes. Exhilarating? You’ve never been on anything like it. From the top of the first climb you can see for miles in every direction. Just before you plummet towards the Irish Sea in a near vertical drop, that is…
• The Grand National at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is the UK’s only racing rollercoaster and is a must for stag or hen parties. Half of your group in one car, half in the other – and race to the finish!
• The Avalanche at Pleasure Beach is also one of a kind. It’s a coaster, but without tracks! This is the UK’s only bobsled rollercoaster and one of Pleasure Beach’s top experiences - you won’t believe the speed as you fly down the track!
• One of Pleasure Beach’s newest arrivals, Bling, will spin you 360 degrees, twist you, suspend you and turn you upside down. Ever seen crash test dummies in action? You’ll look a bit like that. Only with any luck you’ll keep all the limbs you went on with.
• Valhalla at Pleasure Beach, Blackpool is a stunning looking log flume. In the dark. With amazing special effects. You’ll get toasted and frozen within seconds of each other. You will get wet; you may get soaked; you might just need a change of underwear.
• The Pleasure Beach Ghost Train is also a bit special. The first ride of its kind anywhere in the world to actually be called a ‘ghost train’ the Blackpool Pleasure Beach version isn’t just a great ride… it’s really haunted. And just to prove it the Most Haunted team paid the Pleasure Beach a visit in their first series. Don’t have nightmares…

And that’s a fraction of the rides on offer. In fact it’s only a fraction of the white knuckle rides on offer. We didn’t even cover the Space Invader 2, Ice Blast, Wild Mouse (described by Coaster Kingdom) as “the very best ride of its kind”, or the Big Dipper, which Coaster Kingdom (bless ‘em) again describe as “the finest ride at the finest amusement park there is”.

And if that doesn’t have you picking up the phone to book your Blackpool Pleasure Beach tickets through PartyWeekends.com then nothing will.

An almost infinite choice of food and drink options and an impressively large array of top quality shows to give you a breather between rides will complete the day and make your weekend, stag or hen party a dazzling success!
