A well-loved theme park visited by millions since it opened 130 years ago is being forced to close rides and cut its opening hours.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach opened in 1896 and has been delighting crowds ever since, with features including the world famous Big Dipper, one of Britain’s oldest rollercoasters.
But the theme park has been forced to close rides, reduce its opening hours and cut staff after it made a pre-tax loss of £2.8million last year.
Rides closed for the 2025 season have been confirmed as Eddie Stobart Convoy, Alpine Rallye, Thompson Carousel, Gallopers, and Red Arrows Skyforce. Bosses say no other rides at the park will shut this season.
