Red Arrow Sky Force Opens Blackpool Pleasure beach amusement Park Lancashire, UK. May, 2015. The launch of the new ride, Red Arrows Skyforce, is the world's first Red Arrows Ride complete in RAF livery and is a new airborne adventure and display for riders. The 72 ft white-knuckle ride allows riders to spin glide, and swirl as pilots take control of their own aeroplane in formation.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is an amusement park situated along the Fylde coast in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. It is the most visited tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, and one of the top twenty most-visited amusement parks in the world with an estimate of million visitors in 2007. In a 2014 TripAdvisor poll, Pleasure Beach was voted as the best theme park in the United Kingdom and the 12th best park in Europe respectively. The park is privately owned by the Thompson family under BPB Holdings ltd. In 2003 Pleasure Beach opened the Big Blue Hotel, a four star family and business hotel and in 2011, Nickelodeon Land, a substitute of the main park which includes numerous family-orientated rides and attractions based on the Nickelodeon brand opened. Amanda Thompson has overseen the transformation of the park to a modern, aesthetically pleasing amusement park. However, her reign has seen the removal of some rides including the Whip, Log Flume, Space Invader 2, Turtle Chase, Black Hole and Super Bowl. In 2007, she introduced Infusion (relocated from the now revitalised Pleasureland Southport) and in 2009 transformed the north end of the park by introducing a new area, Bean Street FY4, which houses numerous catering outlets and bars and the Spectacular Dancing Water Show which was a seven hundred and fifty thousand pound investment. In 2010 she further developed the north end of the park by re-designing the area which formerly housed the old dodgems ride. The site is now a garden area with numerous water features and fanciful sculptures. The same year, Amanda brought a new dodgems ride to the park (which is now situated under the Revolution attraction in the old Whip building.) Throughout late 2010 and early 2011 a new Children's theme park was constructed. On 4 May 2011 Nickelodeon Land debuted replacing the entire Beaver Creek area of the park. Amanda has focused on the historically important aspects of the park, the overall look of the park, the park brand.
