Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been awarded the Best Experience at the Lancashire Tourism Awards.

Known as the High Adventure Experiences, the experience takes participants on a guided tour of some of Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s tallest rollercoasters, covering many ups and downs and exploring parts of the ride that most visitors will have never been to before.

High Adventure Experiences is the collective name for three experiences – Walk The Big One, Walk The Woodie, and Walk The Big One XL.

Walk The Big One offers guests the chance to walk 235ft to the top of the UK’s tallest rollercoaster and enjoy the breathtaking views.

With Walk The Big One XL, visitors will also get the chance to explore the ride’s maintenance area and understand its workings.

Finally, Walk The Woodie 100 allows visitors to walk up the lift hill of the park’s oldest rollercoaster, The Big Dipper, as well as learn about the ride, which celebrates its centenary in August 2023.

Each High Adventure Experience is run by members of Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s ride operations team who will guide guests through the experience, share fascinating facts and stories about the rides, and also share a few interesting tales about their time working at the famous amusement park.

Andy Hygate, Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s Director of Operations comments, “The team here is absolutely delighted to win this award and it wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work, expertise and passion that everyone has shown whilst planning and delivering these amazing experiences.

“These experiences take guests to parts of the rides they will never have been to before and experience unique views of the ride and surrounding areas. Having completed the walks myself, I can definitely say that they are something that all fans of Blackpool Pleasure Beach will love to take part in.”

The mixture of Walk-On experiences runs from March to the end of September
