Blackpool Illuminations
Blackpool Illuminations 2011 will be switched on, on Friday 2nd September 2011 and turned off on Sunday 6th November 2011. Blackpool Illuminations first shone in 1879, yes, 131 years ago! And have been a crowd pulling attraction ever since. You can view the famous Blackpool lights from car, coach or tram by driving down the length of the Golden Mile or more leisurely by foot. Each year, a famous face switches the lights on and thousands of pounds are collected for charity. It is an awesome site and well worth a visit!
And now new for 2011 the 'big switch on' will be located actually on the promenade on the all new Tower Headland following considerable investment and work over the past few years. This event hasn't happened since the early Illumination days many years ago. Be sure to come to the Blackpool Illuminations in 2011 as you will be able to see the Concert and the promenade lights come to life when the special guest celebrity does the deed!
Rumour has it that for 2011, the Blackpool Illuminations may be an all ticket event, so watch this space and be sure to be one of the first to know and don't miss out!
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Blackpool Pleasure Beach covers some 42 acres with over 6 million visitors each year!. The Pleasure Beach is renowned as being innovative and forward thinking, with Europe's tallest, fastest rollercoaster being built in 1994, the Pepsi Max. Shortly after, just three years later in 1997 saw yet another monster ride, the 210 foot, £2 million Ice Blast, The Ride. In 2000, at a breathtaking cost of £15million, Valhalla was born, the world's biggest dark ride. 2002 saw the launch of the new £1million ride Spin Doctor with riders spin 360 degrees at heights of 120 feet at over 60 mph. In 2003, The Big Blue Hotel opened at the south end of the Pleasure Beach. Another new white knuckle ride costing £2m named "Bling" was created in 2005. Reaching speeds of over 60mph and a spine tingling 2.5G's, Bling lifts riders 100 feet above the ground and spins them through the air on giant glittering gondolas in three different directions.
