A theme park in Lancashire has been named among the top 14 in the UK, in a list by Blooloop.
The list includes some of the bigger theme park names like Alton Towers and Legoland Windsor but it also recognises the smaller ones too like Flamingo Land and Paultons Park.
Representing Lancashire on the list is Blackpool Pleasure Beach which opened in 1896.
Let’s take a look at why Blackpool Pleasure Beach is among Blooloop’s top 14 theme parks in the UK.
What did Blooloop say about Blackpool Pleasure Beach?
The publication said: “The theme park is home to 10 roller coasters including Icon, the park’s newest and fastest.
“Additional thrill rides at the park include The Big One, Revolution, The Big Dipper, and Valhalla. The latter is a unique high-speed dark ride by Sarner International, the leading experiential design expert. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is to reimagine its iconic Ice Blast ride for the 2025 season.”
It added: “In addition to the UK’s only Nickelodeon Land, family-friendly offerings at Blackpool Pleasure Beach include Wallace & Gromit’s Thrill-O-Matic, an Alice in Wonderland-themed ride and the Flying Machines.
“As for accommodation, Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s second hotel opened in July 2019. BLVD sits to the left of the Big Blue Hotel, which launched at the UK theme park in 2003.”
