Can someone tell me how blackpool has a Alice in Wonderland ride within the park? How does the Disney copy right work with it?
Sorry just curious? X
Didn't the park have to get permission to use the Disney characters inside? I get that the story is fair game, but those representations of the characters are Disney property, surely?
Sorry to butt in but does the horror crypt still open? I have never seen it open in my entire life...
It's a great story - in the early 50's Leonard Thompson invited Walt Disney himself over to see the park (before any of the Disney parks existed). Apparently he loved the atmosphere and what they were trying to do at BPB with the slightly more upmarket aim than the more common funfairs that had been around up until then. He was in fact so inspired that he gave permission to the Thompson's and the park to use the Alice in Wonderland IP, and then went back to the US and...well the rest is history. Quite incredible now to think that BPB was in fact perhaps a large inspiration for the Disney theme parks!
Yes, it was refurbished for 2017 and I'd highly recommend visiting, it's really good now!Sorry to butt in but does the horror crypt still open? I have never seen it open in my entire life...
The characters aren't property of Disney there characters created by Lewis Carrol in a book published in 1869.
Term days are usually quieter as well; Weekends and school holidays can be very busy.When are you looking for? Terms days are usually cheaper. I usually stay at the Blackpool South Promenade, you can usually see the pleasure beach from our room.
£72 per room base on 2 sharing = £36 per person per night, not a bad price. I've just taken a look for my self and can get it for £114 for 3 nights Term time (price might vary depending on dates)
