Pleasure Beach Resort has released a CGI video showing a transformed skyline thanks to its up-and-coming thrill ride, Aviktas.
Indeed, the towering 138ft gyro swing will fly riders alongside the world-famous Big One and parallel to the coast, seen for the first time in new footage created by the park’s creative team.
Named Aviktas, the ride will be the ‘tallest of its kind’ in the UK and will drastically change the way the seaside resort’s famous coastline will look.

In addition, the giant spinning pendulum ride swings 120 degrees and will seat 40 riders who face outwards with their legs dangling and experience an exhilarating feeling of flying.
Amanda Thompson OBE, CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort said: “We’re famous for going big at Pleasure Beach, and Aviktas is exactly that.
“We hope by releasing this video, guests will be able to understand the mammoth scale of our new investment, and the huge impact it’ll have on our park and the industry as a whole. This ride will be colossal, daunting, exhilarating and an incredible addition to the town.”
Prior to its name reveal, Aviktas went under the codename ‘Project 2026’, until park bosses dropped its official name back in May. Yet Pleasure Beach Resort remains tight-lipped on how the ride will come to life. “This is the first small tease of what we have planned, there’s plenty more teasers on the way!” added Amanda.
Moreover, work is well underway on the former Bowl-A-Drome site, which will become the home of Aviktas. Demolition work started at the beginning of the season, with the area now completely clear of any pervious building.
“Keep an eye on our socials, as what may now seem mysterious, will eventually be revealed!”, added Amanda.
