Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2025 Discussion

I remember staggered openings used to be quite common on the off peak days when the park opened at 11am. Virtually every ride (apart from Derby Racer and the flying machines) didn’t open till 11:30 or later. Things have got a lot better in recent years on 11am openings. But in the height of August, there’s no way they can justify having lots of rides closed till 11:30. It will be chaos if they do.

Yes that would be the worry with an 11am opening. They should really have all the rides open when the park opens. If they can do that then I think 11am is a better opening time for a seaside park. Ideally 11am till 9pm in the summer holidays.
 
They could even do it like the Madrid parks, they have standard 12-8 opening, but expand openings both directions on busy days I believe, up to 10:00 - 01:00
