Advantages: Fun day out

Disadvantages: Pricey if you pay full cost

If you like white knuckle rides then Blackpool Pleasure beach is a great day out, it is located near the South Pier and is easiy accessible through the trams and buses that run along the seafront. There are also a number of car parks near by. When we visited we were staying in a B&B earer the north shore pier so used the trams.

There is a £5 entry fee to pay to enter the park, then you can then either purchase individual ride tickets or get a wristband, if you are going to spend the daythere and go on lots of rides then the wristband is by far the best way to go and it will set you back £25 however we used Tesco clubcard vouchers which cuts 75% off the cost.

The rides in the park are excellent, for me the Pepsi Big One is still the top roller coaster to go on, you get the most awesome view as you slowly climb to the summit in your open top car and then you get that first death defying plunge the adrenalin rush is the best.
Infusion is another great ride that will have you screaming out loud and I also love some of the old wooden structured roller coasters like the Big Dipper and the Grand National where you race off against another rollercoaster car on an adjacent track.

There are plenty of rides for younger children as well so the par caters for all ages and there are also shows and prize stalls as well.

If I have one criticism of the park it is the fact that it does get a bit messy, partly due to the larg number of guests but also because some of the prize stalls generate a lot of litter and then you have the usual seaside sub standard catering to contend with and the mess that creates.

On the plus side there is plenty to do and the park is pretty compact so it is easy to walk around. It des get very crowded but it is open until late so you can spend the whole day there if you want so the long queues do not necessarily stop you going on all the rides.

Summary: Great fun park
