Every year I go with my family to the pleasure beach. We love going and the kids love going on all the rides and buying souvenirs. We have noticed that the prices are slowly rising but I have just found a new app on my phone called Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It gives different offers for the park and I like that I can navigate around the park using my phone so that I don't have to carry a map. I thought it would be good to share with everyone so that they can get the most out of their money. Hope this helps anyone else that has noticed about the prices increasing.

I have just returned from a 2 day trip to Blackpool, for my friends Hen do. 6 of us travelled from Bristol, so we were sure hoping the 9 hour coach trip would be worth it!
When you arrive at the pleasure beach, it can be quite confusing as there are several different queues, but staff there are very friendly and will tell you where to go. Although there were massive queues, we got our tickets and were in the park surprisingly quickly. Unfortunately for us, this was the first opening weekend of the year for the park, and subsequently a few of the rides were closed. My friends started the day with 'The Big One' also known the 'The Pepsi Max' a rollercoaster with a ridiculously high climb. I cannot comment having been too scared to ride myself, but my friends loved it; it seems to be unmissable for thrill seekers. We also ventured on the 'Tunnel of love' a very slow boat ride with dinosaurs and Egyptian mummys - my only criticism is unsure why it's called the tunnel of love! 'Steeple chase' is a fun ride where you mount a 'horse' and rase your friends round the track. Great for a group, but it felt a bit wobbly and we didn't enjoy as much as we hoped as we didn't feel safe! After doing this and running through the fountains near by, we struggled to find somewhere eat as everywhere was so busy. We eventually settled for some fried chicken, which was fairly priced, and the restaurant overlooks the love boat ride. The highlight of our day (and the reason for my writing this review) is the 'Pasaje de terror' which is basically a walk through ghost house with real 'people'. We had never seen anything like this at any other UK theme parks so we thought we would give it a shot. It starts with a scary looking attendant telling you the rules - no running, cameras, no forms of light, dont stop, dont go back...and do not give any abuse to the 'things' inside, because they wont touch you...well probably not!! The first bit of the attraction is a small room where you are greeted by a monk, he told some story but we were so scared we weren't listening! You then make your way through a series of dark passages and rooms. One of our first encounters was a old man with a grusome face and a stick, who jumped out seemingly from no where, and proceeded to limp behind us, banging the stick with every step. This may not sound scary but it is when your nearly in total darkness. We then met Freddie Kruger, who slides up a metal grid and jumps out in front of you. We then made our way into a nursery, which was very dimly lit, and the scariest clown we had ever seen jumps out of the darkness, laughing like a maniac, egding closer and closer. He then told us (shouting over our screams) to follow him, as there was 'a girl possesed by the devil' in the next room. If you hesitate, or freeze to the spot like we did, he will shout at you to MOVE!!! For me, this was terrifying. We walked into a white room, and sleeping in a white bed was a young girl. The minute the 6 of us all entered the room, the girl ('Ragan' from The Exorcist) proceeded to throw herself up and down, screaming and wailing as the bed rocked manically. It all gets a bit blurry here as me and my friends went into hysterics. As we ran round the bed to go to the next room, Ragan leaps from the bed, and crouches on the floor, growling and snarling at us. I managed to somehow fall, and led on the floor screaming as Regan edged closer towards me. I cannot emphasise how scary this was, the girls make-up was done so well, her legs and arms were cut and bruised and her eyes were red. My friend ran back and dragged me out of there by my arm!!!! The next person we met was 'Pinhead' from the Hellraiser movies. I was so scared after the Exorcist I didnt even look at him, but I know he chased us to the exit, which leads you into a pub - where we had the pleasure of meeting a group of lads on a stag do dressed as ghostbusters!!! Who may I add were as equally scared as us. There is no age limit for this attraction, but the advice from myself and friends is DONT take your young children in there!! It is brilliant fun ( we are still laughing about it and probably will be for years to come) but it really is very frightening.
We had a great day at the pleasure beach, it's good value for money and there is loads to do, I would recommend it for any age.

The themepark is generally kept very clean & tidy with a great variety of rides and plenty of places for food/drink.
I would strongly recommend 'Valhalla' which is a great water ride, one minute your blissfully travelling through a hot sauna then dropping backwards into the freezing water, fantastic ride though make sure you take a coat.
Other great rides include 'Infusion' which is very fast & fun though over a bit quick. Iron Bru is extremely fun though can make you feel a little sick.
Personally i found 'Pepsi Max' an awful ride.
It was a long wait for a ride which is extremely rough and makes you feel very uncomfortable and unsafe.
Getting into the park can also be fairly expensive but it was a very enjoyable time with a mix of rides for all ages.

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

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 the ride and you will get wet feet instead of ruined shoes.
If you want to get into the Beach quicker then enter through the top end of South Shore near the Star Inn, walk down towards the radio shack and get your wristband there.... no waiting.
Most of all enjoy it but take snacks and drinks with you as the mark up is a lot.

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 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

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is great fun. My fiance and I went for my 21st birthday and had a brill time. We got an unlimited day pass for the Pleasure Beach and went on as many rides as we could, but our favourites have to be the Grand National, Pepsi Max and Irn-Bru Revolution!!! There is loads to do for any age group and we would recommend the Pleasure Beach to anyone looking for a fun day out or short break. The only downfall to Blackpool is we felt the pubs and clubs along the promenade were not very family or couple friendly, they were basically aimed at single men looking for a cheap thrill, one even boasted having topless barmaids!!

I'm usually an Alton Towers kind of guy but my older brother and niece invited me and my girlfriend along so we decided to give it a go. The day we went it was a bit over cast and looked to be threatening rain but we went anyway and the weather seemed to work to our advantage. The park wasn't too busy so you weren't cueing for longer than 5min even on the bigger rides. Due to the weather the big one was closed but I wasn't going on that anyway. The Ice Blast (not for people scared of heights) and Valhalla (prepare to get very wet!) were great fun. (As I'm writing this I'm full of a cold though after being soaked to the skin on Valhalla then blasted dry by Blackpool gales!) For the kiddies I would recommend Noah's Ark (even in my 19yr old opinion a great ride) and the Turtle ride (my niece is still grinning now!) Some of the older rides are looking a bit...(er)...old but the carousel and rocket ride are a must. The food in the park is quite expensive so we made a packed lunch and parked quite close to the park so when we got hungry we could wander back and have our fill. We were going to watch a show but felt a bit conned by the voucher scheme, when buying your wristband it says unlimited rides and 4 show vouchers. We took this to mean you could go and watch four shows (if you so wished). When we got to the Theatre we were told the vouchers were exchangeable for a discount to the show and not free entry-this seemed like a bit of a con on the pleasure beaches part but we weren't going to let it spoil the day. When it got dark the park really came alive. The lights changed the atmosphere completely and everything looked more fun. This is when we went on the ice blast. You were so high up you could even see Wales over the sea and was a great (but scary) end to the day. I would recommend Blackpool pleasure beach to anyone after a good time and is a must if you are holidaying in the area.
