Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Blackpool as a whole have been busy lately which has led to comments about queues and how they can take, so in this video I'm sharing my tips on how to beat the queues at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in summer 2021.

Always good to get tips from locals who know the park well and have plenty of visits under their belt. Any reasonable person would expect bigger queues and longer waits in the holidays, even without adding sunshine and restrictions into the mix.

Great video. Wholeheartedly agree with 99% of it. The only thing I would draw attention to is that speedy pass plus seatbelts on Icon has slashed its throughput so I now do it much earlier in the day than beforehand. I waited 2 and a half hours for it the other day while PMBO was at around 40 minutes, shifting the queue excellently.

Great advice! Used this technique before and it definitely works! I absolutely hate the media at the moment! There presenting the park really badly! ‘Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach breaks down near the top forcing people to climb down’! It makes it sound like it was such an awful event! In reality, the ride started again shortly after, guests were given a water bottle and fast passes! People pay to walk the big one, these lot get it for free. I’d quite like to walk down the big one stairs 😂😂.

Went to Blackpool on the 4th of June 2021. We arrived at 10am opening time and chose to queue for the big one first (wish I had seen this video beforehand!). We waited just over an hour for our turn. Overall we managed to do about 10 rides over a period of 6 hours but didn't manage to get on ICON because people told us they had queued for 1.5 hours. I was a bit gutted but we had to leave.

I’ve got to say. I went on an a day that was absolutely packed. We always park next to the Sandcastle but it was full. For the whole day, we got on Avalanche, Wallace, Airbender, Grand National, Big Dipper, Steeple Chase, Derby Racers. They extended the hours until 7pm. Although I have a season pass, I used to have a MAP and the difference is stark. The GN broke down with people evacuated. That would not of happened at any Merlin attraction, it would of been down all day (at least). BPB genuinely feels like a fair deal. Lots of rides and a fair gate price. Food is pretty cheap - in comparison to other theme parks. At DMP for example I paid £6 for 6 chicken nuggets,

I have to admit, as someone who only visits the park once a year at most these days (sometimes not even that) the last couple of times I've opted for Speedy Pass. For me, when you break the total cost down to 'cost per ride' it works out relatively cheap considering it's a once in a year or so treat. However, if I lived closer and could do the park a few times each year, I'd forego Speedy Pass and adopt the sort of advice you give in this video :) I appreciate fast pass schemes divide opinion, so hopefully no offence caused!

I went last weekend and it was absolutely full to the brim. They 100% breached capacity. I arrived at normal time and only managed 3 rides. We queued for 2hrs 50mins for the Big One, only to get seated and be told we had to leave as the ride had technical faults. This was at the end of the day. The pathways were so busy and full, it was horrendous, I’ve never seen it this busy. I understand the park has missed so much funding over the last 15+ months but that day out was completely unenjoyable, I’m avoiding the park for the time being.

What didn’t help was the operations, mainly due to guests not paying attention to signage. I got on Icon and there was a woman and child behind, child without a mask, and the ride staff asked them to get off. This altercation took around 10 minutes and the same thing happened on Infusion. I can imagine this being the main reason when there were multiple stand stills. The rides kept coming to a stop too which wasn’t helpful. The park definitely put too much pressure on itself and it reflected in the staff morale, it was clear staff weren’t at their best, which was a shame

Can you show they breached capacity? With actual evidence? I’m just curious because they get fined for doing so and are being monitored like all places to make sure they stick to the rules.

It’s was unpleasantly busy, there were parts where people were near enough shoulder to shoulder: like the avalanche entrance area, outside Steeplechase, big dipper entrance, the only place that seemed fairly spacious was the fountains. I know it’s a small park and the paths are narrow like. I’m not raising a formality about a breach or anything, purely giving my opinion. Your advice on this video would have been impossible on a day like the day I went, but I’ll be sure to remember in the future ;)

I tell you what annoys me, the fact people are slamming bpb just because rides stop. I love pleasure beach and have and always will defend it to the end, plus I used to be a ride operator in Scotland, so I know why the rides have probably stopped. It people who don't know how the rides work that seem to "know what they're talking about", but really do. The rides are running 7hrs straight 7days a week 12 hrs on late night riding. Bpb is my favorite place in the entire world. I have mental health issues and will take the 2hr drive to get to bpb and all my problems are gone. I will defend bpb when rides stop. I'm not bothered about long queues. I'm a proud season pass holder, I can come as much as I want, when I want. Besides with rides like big one and icon, the wait is worth it. Thanks for these videos.

Icon was horrendous on bank holiday Monday. 50% speedy pass users. Queued 2 hours, including 1 hour from the gates (which should be 30mins). They need to reduce the amount of speedy pass users, the park can't cope. We didn't even attempt the big one. Avalanche on the other hand was shifting its queue well all day. Why? No speedypass on avalanche this year.

Enjoyable video, I'd usually second this advice but sadly beating the queues just wasn't possible on bank holiday weekend. We arrived at the park early on both Saturday and Sunday, and yet absolutely nothing was ready to open except for Blue Flyer on Saturday, and Flying Machines on Sunday. I fully understand that, on some occasions, rides can't always open at the usual time, but this was literally the entire park bar one or two rides. I've never known anything like it in all honesty, especially considering the park was so busy. PB is a park I adore and have a lot of time for, but it was simply not possible to have an enjoyable day on the Sunday due to the ridiculously late openings (1 ride available in the first hour when the park is rammed), early closures and early park closing time. By the time the rides finally opened at/around 11am, the queues outside the entrances were enormous. As stated, we arrived early to maximise the first hour on both days and, particularly on the Sunday, BPB utterly let us down. It was almost excusable on Saturday due to the 10pm close, but Sunday was 6pm, busier than Saturday and three rides in north park closed at 5. It was an utterly miserable day and the worst I've ever had at BPB.

Sadly, I have to agree with @ Theme Park Updates and all comments mentioned by them is exactly how it was. Bank holiday Sunday was the worst day ever experienced at BPB. With the late opening of most rides, poor/slow running of some rides. 30 minute Speedy Pass queues on Icon!!! (Monday was marginally improved!) It is great to see Blackpool and the Pleasure Beach busy after the last 14+ months we've all had, but come on BPB - you really MUST do better than this. People pay good money, but sadly they did not have the good experience expected. BPB let itself down and more importantly let it's customers down. On a good day BPB is by far the best in the UK, in my opinion, and cannot be beaten. Hopefully bank holiday Sunday and Monday were just an awful blip and better services will resume... PLEASE.

In reply to Matt, why are we not allowed to 'defend' the Pleasure Beach if we feel the park is getting an unfair/unreasonable amount of complaints? We're fans of the park, we'll support the park as best we can whilst remaining constructive, we're not going to moan about it being busy instead try to encourage people to get on more rides by following a tried and trusted method. BPB are well within their rights to let the amount of people in that have been going in, it's a fraction of what they'd be get outside of covid times.

@@yourexperienceguide I just mean i never thought of it the way you said it. the computer doing its job. People give stoppages on theme park rides so much hate but it is quite litterly the computer doing its job, it detects a fault and stops the ride. would you rater it stops the ride or go round it in possible danger. I'd rather wait till its safe, that's sorta what I mean by it. not meaning it in a bad way.

i will never go when the school are out . was there on the 2/6/21 and it was rammed . the queues were running very slow with all the fast track ticket holder. at 12:00 the smaller rides had a queue time of 1 hour 30 minutes icon and big one you was looking at 3 hours minimum. sorry but i would not queue that long for free never mind paying £35 for the pleasure. if you have too go in holiday time book early and pay the fast track TAX . i have loved going to blackpool for the last 50 years . this experience has put off going back..i emailed them no response. .

@@yourexperienceguide your right .But there is still rules for out side gatherings in the uk which i think are a little bit ott But had it been a outdoor music concert that packed .It would have been shut down before it even started ..Around the big dipper all the way past the avalanche was shoulder to shoulder. I'm sorry but there was too many people in the park . i have loved going since I was a kid. but this time it was not a pleasant experience and will pick my day to visit better next time ..
