Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2025 Discussion

[Hid]

I saw an theme park influencer describe the event as “unique” which is usually code for “rubbish” but they can’t call it rubbish because they’ve been let them in for free and don’t want to lose their perks.

Unique doesn't mean rubbish, Unique means something different from the norm.

Plenty of people on park today. Windy so Big One closed.

Today’s annoyance is the items which are on sale on the website they cannot match the price in the stores on park. So no Gran National slippers for me today.

Unique means the only one of its kind, completely unlike anything else.

Something "different from the norm" could be described as deviant, aberrant, unusual, atypical or anomalous.

So no Gran National slippers for me today.

Each to their own, but I do think that Gran National slippers are a bit tacky.

Meant to add, if anyone actually wants to do it, you can 'upgrade' a normal eticket via the app to include JTH - £15 currently.

There were indeed a collection of camera folk. A group were brought straight to the front of the Twisted queue, much to the dismay of everyone else.

Whilst collecting my tickets, Amanda arrived, and lingered around the entrance/shop. No speeches or anything, in fact, didn't see her speak to any guests.

Shame that there’s no upgrade option for passholders. If it weren’t for Aviktas I wouldn’t be bothering to renew

Did Journey To Hell on Saturday night and overall I enjoyed it. Using such a specific area of the park coupled with the amount of walk around characters meant you were never waiting long for interactions with them, great when waiting in the queues for the rides and mazes.

Really enjoyed the Ghost Train and Alice In Wonderland rides with the added actors for scares, made me miss Duel Live for sure. (Bring that back Towers!)

Did the tunnels/river caves mazes first which was pretty long. Plenty of bits were you were stopped by the actors to advance or be told stories before continuing on. Fun to walk inside the river caves trough as well.

The impossible maze was shorter but used the building well. Again you were guided and stopped as you went that added to the experience.

Also managed a ride on the Grand National and the Derby Racer.

Also should say this trip was only sorted a week or so ago so my usual hotels were either booked or more than I wanted to pay, so had to try elsewhere.

Ended up staying in the Parkfield Hotel on Withnell Road, which conveniently is 5 minutes walk from the Velvet Coaster.
Nice rooms, good price, and a tasty breakfast.
