Fair play, the Pleasure Beach is looking better than it ever has! For decades, Geoffrey Thompson basically let it become run-down and a bit of an eye-sore, but his daughter, who took over from him, has clearly put a lot of money into it and done a hell of a job regenerating it.

Blackpool pleasure beach, still makes my tummy turn over with excitement. This is where we would come as kids, 20 coaches from a working mens club in Stoke-on-Trent, first person to see Blackpool tower while we were travelling in on the coach would get an extra £1, we were all given a bag of crisps and a bottle of Riki and a pound to spend, as a kid this was one of the most exciting days of the year.the scariest ride was the mad mouse ahhhhhhh! Loved the logflumes and the jacket potato’s as you got off. The Grandstand was also a fave. Great memories from many moons ago, I’m 62 now and it’s great to see it’s still up and running for the kids of today to enjoy! Thanks for posting👍🏽🙋🏽♀️

In the 90's I worked for a company that serviced the Rollercoaster electronics and BPB was my account. There is nothing more scary and freaky than an empty , quiet Theme Park, especially in the rain. I had to "whistle a happy tune" to be brave with all those creaking and odd noises in the distance.

You should really try walking around a closed funfair at night! That's a whole new level of creepy! When I used to go as a kid in the late 70s/ early 80s, there was a time around dusk when the 'day time' people would gradually vanish and then it emptied as it got dark. The silence was practically tangible and the bright optimism of the daylight park was replaced by the sinister lengthening shadows of the night time park. What was jolly and welcoming only a couple of hours earlier became threatening and oppressive. You could easily see why empty funfairs were the ideal stamping ground for Batman villains! And then the night time people would fill the place and it would become Actually violent, they were mainly off duty sqaddies and lairy teenagers looking for aggro. Not my scene at all, I was out of there sharpish! Thanks for the tour, brought back some (happy?) memories!👍

Loving your channel at the minute, love looking around all the old hotels… you do it for me as I’m only 37 and in ill health at the moment, used to love travelling around old theatres and hotels but it’s all on hold at the moment, sadly, but you’re helping me fill that void… glad I’ve found your channel. Loving the Blackpool videos as that place has a special place in my heart. If I ever won the lottery, I would totally hire out the Pleasure Beach for me and my friends, it would be amazing! I love your prison hotel videos as well and how you seem to be drawn to the paranormal… I’m psychic and can easily pick up on energy, so I understand when you say you feel things from certain places… I’ve been suffering a lot of anxiety lately because of my health scare and ptsd because of the death of my Mum, but finding your videos has helped to calm me down, I don’t know what it is but they have a very calming effect and they are very informative of the places you visit… I envy you but also admire you for showing us the places that maybe not all of us could visit… always feels like we’re with you! Thanks, Tim. X

Blackpool Pleasure Beach has a wonderful history. I used to love coming to the park years ago when it was free for everyone to enter. My favourite amusement was the Fun House, very funny and smelly with everyone in their stockingfeet. I once had a whole Saturday of fun there in my grey socks, 12 hours from 10am to 10pm, before it was sadly destroyed by fire and Valhalla built in its place. Other lost rides include the Reel, Cable Cars, Monorail, Octopus and more recently Log Flume and Wild Mouse. But the Big Dipper, Grand National, Revolution, Avalanche and much more. The Pepsi Big Max has been around for 28 years starting in 1994.

Great walk through really enjoyed it..... first time I went was back in 1983 on a special holiday by train from London with my then GF, we stayed at Pontins Blackpool which is no longer there. The Pleasure Beach has always been a great place to visit and whilst it appears Blackpool has hit some hard times and gone down a bit in appearance one can't say the same for the Pleasure Beach. Your tour showed it in a very good light, clean, fresh and well maintained, certainly if I was still living in the UK I'd take time to visit. Allow me to say it was very refreshing, some rides and lovely memories,.... even though walking from almost Lytham / Airport to Blackpool centre every day was quite tiring even then. You do some really interning blogs on many places, most I've visited at some point, however the your style and presentation is easy and clear to follow, I hope the blogs make you a decent living, and bring some good opportunities your way... when You Tube has millions of contributors on lots of topics, ones with clear presentation , and no sensationalism with a good descriptive wording plus clear sound, maybe your get noticed by a bigger company, your'd not be out of place in a major network doing the same. Oh the GF back then we married... had few sound years but split as we grew in different directions a few years ago, no regrets... I know she would have enjoyed your blog too. Keep up the good work., and many thanks.

We phoned the pleasure beach and they actually answered (these were the times the pleasure beach was open till late every night) and they said we could come back. It was after midnight and a security guard met us at the gate and escorted us through the park in total darkness to retrieve the bag. Was a very different experience in silence and darkness.

I clung to my now husband nearly crying & screaming, I’m going to fall out aggggggggghhhhh😵💫 Never been on it since.

I love Blackpool Pleasure Beach. I always go every summer once a year with my mates it is such a fun theme park to go to. My favourite rides I'd say are mainly the dark rides as I'm not really a fan of roller coasters the Ghost Train is my favourite one of them all! I remember being a little scared of the Laughing Man when I first visited the Pleasure Beach years ago when I was little but nowadays I love him I love how he's creepy and annoying!

Absolutely brilliant video Tim it’s a pity that Blackpool has gone downhill in some areas it’s a good argument that Blackpool does need investment to make it the proud resort it was once

24 years on and my heart still hasn’t recovered from a trip on the old mad mouse ride. Jesus, terrifying.

I remember the Mad Mouse on Rhyl Funfair.. I don't remember one being at The Pleasure Beach. Could be wrong though.

Tim was this filmed early before opening hours ? I love the Pleasure beach but I miss the free entry and late night opening, it's an iconic park but Amanda Thompson needs to think about charging full prices for Elderly, disabled and pregnant mothers . Tim I miss the monorail, the cable cars, Noahs Ark, log flume and Gold Mine .

Have you considered filming at Pleasurewood Hills, Lowestoft went there back in the 90s when Noel Edmonds had a stake in it and saw a charity event he did. Nowadays the nearest we get is the Warners next door where you can hear the screams and the loops of the big roller coaster.
