Run down, needs serious investment and rides need to be running consistently, there were so many not operating today I wondered what as a family of 7 we spent our £245 on pre booked tickets for. Paint work shabby, rides that were running had musical glitches / lights not working. I fear our beloved pleasure beach won’t be around much longer. The only plus side today was there were very little by way of queues and the ride operators were really friendly.
Lots of rides are closed due to disrepair and being broken.The staff are rude and aggressive.The security staff are incompetent, useless and dishonest.This is the Benidorm of theme parks, it's full of trashy badly behaved people and the staff are even worse, especially the security staff.Save your money and go somewhere more upmarket than this dump, legoland windsor is a much better choice than this.
As massive thill seekers my husband and I look forward to going to Blackpool every year. We never managed last year but we went yesterday and were eagerly looking forward to Valhalla and hadn't been on it since the reopening. We stopped going on the old woodie coasters a few years back after the big dipper left me with severe nerve shoulder pain which lasted months. Upon arriving we were met with unfriendly staff as we booked an access pass the girl was quite short and unfriendly in explaining how it worked as this is the first time we have used his access pass at this park. I understand whilst my husband may look quite physically fit he has rheumatoid arthritis and his feet and joints hurt most of the time so standing in long queues is difficult. Now for security staff on the the actual park entry, they were rude and aggressive!!! I wear a fairly sizeable heavy chain round my neck it's a short choacker length chain. It was demanded I take it off and hand it over to be collected later and my initial reaction was there is no way I'm handing it over. I opted for a locker instead in the end. For reference I went to thorpe park Wednesday and they didn't even bat an eye at it, it was just removed to step through the security scanner. Then onto the actual park experience which will for the foreseeable future be potentially out last visit. I was hopeful the big one may be smoother since the re-track but it seemed worse than ever and I left the ride feeling battered. Infusion for a fairly new coaster was far rougher than I ever remember and was advised to "remove my earrings" by staff to stop my ears from bleeding??!! I opted to put my hood up instead but was glad I did but the worst was the whole restraint system seems to cut into your shoulders and my poor husband who is 6ft 4 with broad shoulders really struggled. Icon was the only highlight. Valhalla was wildly disappointing from what I remember, there use to a scary viking face on the lift hill and was now inside was lack luster at best and less special effects than I remember with dry ice and fire. So as I already said we don't do the old woodies so now just going for the steeple chase and icon it doesn't seem worth it. The majority of staff encounters I had were aggressive and rude and that theme seemed to be set for the whole day. Where as Alton towers and thorpe park staff were much more friendly and gave instructions or directions without aggressive hostility I nearly went to flamingo land yesterday I wish I did now. I think I'd only return now if I got discounted tickets.
Went on bank holiday Monday wasn't to busy payed £178.00 for a family of 5 the youngest being 2 years ago (disgusting pricing) also Iam 56 years old so I never went on the rides(also ridiculous) we went to the security check point and they started to go through my daughters hand bag which is a disgrace personal things where in it then we where told we couldn't bring in our own food(more money extortion)can really say won't be going back(and will be telling everyone not to go)
I’d like to make a people aware about my visit today 25th may 2024. We arrived onto the park everything was smooth until we found a lot of the rides were not on or not on till around 2pm… Our son has autism and as you could imagine he did not understand what was going on. River caves, avatar, big one, ice blast and whilst queuing for icon we were told it was experiencing tech issues I know this can’t be helped but it seems like nothing is on or working the way it should be.Thanks
Rides are far too long unless you pay for an over extortionate priced fast pass . I also paid for a pre-paid pleasure beach card as this place is apparently cashless! When I went to use the card it wouldn't scan . Not only that the card is non refundable and you are not allowed to sell this card and it will expire at a certain time How is this actually legal ? never going to visit this sh*thole again !
Waste of time and money...my husband and I did not want to to ride but we still paid the full price . Will never visit again.. we were a group of 17 members and sent an email ask about the offer they advertised in the website,, they never responded back ..
Usually visit Blackool Pleasure Beach once a year but this will be the last time! Prices utterly ridiculous, £172 for a family of 5. My husband and I didn't want to go on the rides but still pay extortionate amount to stand and hold kids bags all day. After a full day of queueing my boys managed to get on 4 rides! What a waste of time and money. The app was a joke, stated 60 minutes wait time for the big one when we actually waited over 2 hours. Had to send photos of kids when claiming e tickets which I wasn't comfortable with then these passes had to be scanned at each ride which added to queue times. Getting into the park was like going through airport security. Staff member enjoyed routing through my personal belongings and was very rude when we asked for information. Dont entertain buying food or drink inside the park. No atmosphere at all and the guy on one of the games needs to learn to use his microphone. His distorted voice constantly shouting to entice people to waste money trying to win a giant Toblerone for over an hour gave me a headache. The whole place is in need of refurbishment, just run down now. Nothing special and certainly not worth anywhere near what we paid. It is laughable really, that we arrange a day out where we do nothing but stand in queues all day and we paid nearly £200 for the privilege. Never again!
We paid adult price online for our 13yr old children ( didn't make the 12 Yr old child criteria).We didn't want to go on the rides as I have disabilities. And was shocked by having to pay £50 each to get in. Apparently the price structure has changed. We don't have alot of money but felt we had no choice. It's been awhile since we last went to Blackpool it was scruffy, with hotels closed and rubbish everywhere..... We will never go again, next time we'll go to Alton Towers that price is similar ( if not cheaper on certain days), much bigger, 2x more rides, and a much nicer setting and place to visit.... Dont go to Blackpool!!!!
