Good Points: Good ideas for ride design, especially Valhala and space invader. The park has a relatively good layout and is great for families as well as catering for thrill riders. It has just the right mix of wooden and traditional rides such as the Grand national, Big dipper, & Ghost Trains as it does metal modern rides.
Bad Points: A vast majority of there staff have bad attitudes towards customer service. The prices for food on pleasure beach are fairly high, considering the quality. Choices of food are relatively limited.
General comments: The Blackpool pleasure beach is generally very clean and tidy, apart from small unavoidable scraps of litter here & there, eg in queing areas, and very occasionally in rides amongst scenery. Overall Pleasure beach is a completely worth while day out for the whole family.

I have been going to Blackpool for the last 3 years and I have enjoyed it every time I have been. Its a really nice place 2 go, it has excellent attractions and scary rides for a day or a week! You will have a really fun time! It isn't just for one age group, it ranges. You can even go and see rock being made! I do this every year.
I find it very hard to say anything bad about it, even the night life is gr8!

Blackpool Pleasure Beach has amazing rides, with a selection of adults and children's rides. Fast or slow, tall or small. You can find it at Blackpool. There are not as many big rides as for example Alton Towers whihc has a lot of main attractions eg Oblivion, Nemesis, Rita and air, unlike Blackpool with only Pepsi Max. It is a good park.

Everything in Blackpool is close and very accessible by bus and tram. There is a real variety of things to do for all ages. Some of the b&b's are not ideal for all people, access and facilities, as well as location.
There are bargains out there for Blackpool

This place is fantastic! For a start its right by the sea, which gives the whole place a brilliant sea-side/holiday atmosphere. The park itself is quite compact with coasters intertwining with each other creating a quite spectacular sight.(even better at night!).

You have a choice of whether you "pay as you go" (using tokens) for rides, or buy an all day wristband. As a family of 5, (2 adults, 3 kids aged 4, 8 and 15) we bought wristbands for myself and my 15 year old daughter,and two ...

Infusion the first inverted roller coaster over water!!! Over rock pools more like.
To be honest its good value for wrist band users.
If you had to choose the rides to go on then go on the wooden ones, forget Space Invader2, Avalaunche and Revolution try Infusion even though the Nemisis out shines it 10 to 1.
Most rides bring you out at an arcade or gift shop or the dreaded photo booths.
Valhalla is the best ride of all, take a rain mac and slip off footwear, take them off before you go on ...

All I really have to say is, if you get sick from going on a ghost train, Blackpool Pleasure Beach is not the place for you.

Me and my husband decided to visit Blackpool for our honeymoon. We visited the pleasure beach on a Wednesday when the kids had gone back to school which was a good move because the park was not crowded and there were no queues which was a bonus, but if were went during the school holidays then we would be queuing for ages. We went on all the rides over and over again. The first ride of the day for us was 'The pepsi max' which is the tallest and fastest coaster in Europe, we were both petrified w ...

During our hectic hols, the family and I visited Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the day. I had reserved our discounted Ride and Show wristbands before we left for our hols. £15 each was the price and as the Mrs didn't want to ride anything, she decided to use her wristband to get into the show, Eclipse, later in the day. After parking near the rear of the pleasure beach, we joined a lengthy queue to collect our wristbands. A security guard motioned us around th ...

You will love it at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. There is everything to do there. If you go with a little child they will love Beavers Creek, and if you're with a teenager, they will love the Pepsi Max, Iron Brew, Ice Blast, Valhalla, Space Invader 2, and the one and only Big Dipper that has been there for ages, and I think someone did a world record on it. You can find out about the world record because it has a sign on the wall telling you about it, as well as its history.
I advise all of y ...

I have been to lots of theme parks but my favourite is the Pleasure Beach in Blackpool. Entrance to the park is free so the whole family can go in, and those not riding the coasters don't have to pay. Wristbands are great value for money, and there are so many rides to choose from. Valhalla is fantastic, although the ride seems to get wetter and wetter every time I've ridden it. The sign at the entrance to the ride saying you may get soaked is an understatement. You most definitely will get ...

I had a fantastic day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach and I managed to go on practically every ride, and some of them twice. I haven't been for years, and yes it's a bit tacky in some areas, but it is clean, and the whole point of Blackpool is FUN! The Pleasure Beach is open from 10am until 8pm, and there was so much to do that the time flew by. We paid £30 for unlimited rides, but it was definitely good value for money, as you can get on loads of them.

I've been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach many times with my family. My favourite ride that I would DEFINETLY recommend is the Spin Doctor. Myself and my friend waited 30 to 35 minutes to get on it, but it was worth the wait! Another good ride is Valhalla, but you get very wet, and I got so wet that the dye from my jeans went onto my trainers! Another good ride is Trauma Towers, which is located next to the Wild Mouse. Trauma Towers isn't very scary, but you have a little walk around it until you ge ...

I really enjoyed my time at the Pleasure Beach in Blackpool. The Grand National is good fun, and the Pepsi Max is a bit of a heart stopper, but you feel such a rush when you get off!! I really enjoyed Avalanche as well, which is really fast and doesn't give you a second to catch your breath. Absolutely everyone MUST go on Valhalla. It's an indoor log flume type thing that takes you through wind, fire, ice and obviously water. Be prepared to get totally drenched, so make it you're last ride, b ...

Blackpool pleasure beach is the best place in the world, and I dislike everybody that says it's rubbish, because cause it isn't. My favourite rides are the Pepsi Max and the Grand National, but I like the Bling and the Spin Doctor, and everything really!

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is Britain's Number 1 tourist attraction and I can see why.
There is so many things to see and do even not in the Pleasure Beach (eg by the Tower the main shops are).I love Blackpool and go as much as possible. The Big Dippers drop is 205 feet, you must go on the Ghost Train it is a must go to attraction.

I got to Blackpool Pleasure Beach at 1.00pm and went to the Big Dipper which ended up a 30 minute queue which wasn't a good start. Big dipper is fast and entertaining but is very repeated because for all the ride you're going up and down,u p and down and after a while it gets more annoying than fun but still great. Then I went on the log flume which had a 1 hr and 10 minutes queue and it wasn't even enjoyable, the drops are just painful and not smooth at all. All together I'd give this park 9/10
