New ride Red Arrows Skyforce gave us a good reason to visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and the Big Blue Hotel and White Tower Restaurant were highlights of a brilliant trip to the UK’s most ride intensive park.

The 4 star Big Blue Hotel sits in the shadow of the iconic Big One, the UK's tallest & fastest roller coaster, just steps from Blackpool's famous promenade. There are 157 bedrooms in total, with a choice of a Superior Double or Family, a Deluxe Double or Family, or a Deluxe Suite for the most luxurious accommodation.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is reaching for the skies with a new ride for 2015, Red Arrows Skyforce is the first Gerstlauer 'Sky Fly' attraction in the UK and launches on May 25th but test flights are now available.

The 42-acre amusement park has joined forces with the world famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, to launch the thrill ride. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is the world’s first tourist attraction to have a ride based on the Red Arrows.
