Blackpool's Pleasure Beach Resort is home to a world-class collection of thrills and family favourites. Discover our top-rated attractions.
Aviktas
New for 2026, Aviktas is the tallest pendulum ride in the country. Standing at a staggering 138ft, this Gyro Swing sends 40 riders soaring at a 120-degree angle. With outward-facing seats and dangling legs, it provides a unique sensation of flight and a breathtaking view of the South Shore.
ICON
The UK’s first double-launch roller coaster, ICON was the park's largest-ever investment at £16.25 million. It launches riders with the acceleration of a Formula One car, swooping through heart-stopping interactions with other rides. For an extra thrill, try ENSŌ, where the rear seats spin and twist freely throughout the journey.
The Big One
The UK's original hypercoaster remains an iconic landmark, standing 235ft high. Reaching speeds of up to 87mph, The Big One travels over a mile in length, rocketing along the full stretch of the park with incredible views of the Blackpool seafront.
Valhalla
Often voted the world’s best water ride, Valhalla is a high-speed dark ride that takes you through the elemental powers of fire, ice, and snow. Recently reimagined with sustainable effects, it remains a truly immersive experience, just be prepared to get completely drenched!
Nickelodeon Land
The UK's only Nickelodeon Land is a 6-acre zone packed with 12 rides and attractions. Join SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for adventures like the Nickelodeon Streak, SpongeBob’s SplashBash, and the Blue Flyer wooden coaster.
The Historic Coasters
The park is world-famous for its heritage wooden coasters. The Big Dipper (opened in 1923) offers classic drops and turns, while the Grand National (1935) is Europe’s first twin-track racing coaster where two trains compete for the finish line. Don't forget Steeplechase, a unique triple-track racing coaster where you ride custom 'horses' over obstacles.
Launch Pad
Reimagined for 2025, Launch Pad catapults riders 210ft into the sky at speeds of up to 80mph. Experience intense G-forces and spectacular views from the top of this high-octane 'S&S Space Shot' tower.
Classic Dark Rides
Experience the world’s first-ever Ghost Train, which has been scaring visitors since 1930. Other classics include the River Caves, an underground boat journey through world history that opened in 1905, and the Alice Ride, a whimsical journey through Wonderland.
Infusion & Revolution
Infusion is the world’s first inverted looping coaster suspended entirely over water, featuring five intense inversions. For a different kind of thrill, Revolution launches riders through a 56ft loop both forwards and then again in reverse.
