ICON

ICON is Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s newest ride and the UK’s first double launch rollercoaster. ICON accelerates at 0-80km/h in 2.25 seconds before reaching heights of 88ft at speeds of upto 85km/h.
The ride closely interacts with other rides and attractions 15 times during its high-speed journey across the park.
The double launch means that not only does the ride launch at high speed but midway through the experience a second boost of acceleration launches passengers into the highest point of the ride.

Avalanche

The UK's only true bobsleigh ride. A unique roller coaster garanteed to thrill.

Big Dipper

A traditional wooden rollercoaster where World record rollercoaster marathon rider Richard Rodriguez rode the Big Dipper for an incredible three months non-stop day and night! Richard is trying to beat the record by riding The Pepsi Max Big One during the day and Big Dipper through the night starting July 2007.

Grand National

Europe's first twin-track racing coaster was constructed in 1935 and remains one of the most popular wooden rollercoaster in the world. Technically it isnt actually a twin track it is actually a Moebius coaster. The two tracks are continuose forming a single circuit or 'Moebius Loop'. There are only three Moebius coasters in the word, these being Racer in Kennywood, Grand National in Pleasure Beach Blackpool, and Montaña Rusa in La Feria Chapultepec Magico.

 

 

Infusion

The latest coaster to be built in the Blackpool Pleasure Beach. This is the only suspended looping coaster completely over water in the world. Five incredible loops and rolls, a looming lake glitters below, a deliciously wicked double line twist and awesome water effects all in one cool suspended looping coaster.

Revolution

is Europe's first looping coaster with a 360-degree vertical loop. The trains pass through the loop twice during the course, once traveling forwards and again traveling backwards. It has a top speed of 45mph and riders pull 4G!!!

Pepsi Max Big One

This coaster is 235ft high and reaches speeds of over 85mph and riders sustain a max of 3.5G. The initial drop is an incredible 205ft! When Blackpool Pleasure Beach constructed the Pepsi Max Big One it was the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in the world, it is now been beaten but is still UK's tallest, fastest roller coaster.

Nickelodeon Streak

This is a wonderful wooden coaster that gives you a velvety smooth ride as it takes you through steep drops, climbs and banked turns.

Steeplechase

This is a unique rollercoaster that is really a very different ride. You sit inline on a hourse shaped car about 1.5 meters above the track with a small lap belt and a handle to hold. It has no sides and you feel very vunerable. It has three tracks to race against your friends. Pleasure Beach Blackpool is proud to have the only Steeplechase coaster in the world.

Blue Flyer

This should be your first coaster if you are a little scared. It is in the Nickelodeon Land area that is designed for children. It has no height restrictions but small children should be acompanied by an adult to provide a little support. It may be too small for some adults.

Noahs Ark

Blackpool Pleasure Beach has a great attraction above the entrance. Noahs Ark was built about 1921 and you can see the workings in the entrance building behind aome glass walls. It really is a great attraction. Its like a fun house with wobbly floors, strange mirrors, and the whole thing rocks.
