It's your last chance to ride the rollercoasters at Blackpool Pleasure Beach at night

Adrenaline junkies have just two more chances to enjoy riding on the white-knuckle rides after dark at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in 2019.

The attraction is keeping the gates open and turning on the lights to a later time of 10pm as the season draws to an end.

The theme park , which usually closes its rides at around 5pm, will be extending its opening hours so visitors can enjoy the rollercoasters after sundown.

But thrillseekers wanting to experience the rides late into the night have just two opportunities to do so before the attraction before it closes for winter.

As part of its popular Late Night Riding and Fireworks event, guests have the chance to ride 10 thrilling rollercoasters after dark, including the UK’s tallest rollercoaster, the Big One and ICON, the world’s most interactive rollercoaster.

Other rides include The Big Dipper, Infusion, Red Arrows Sky Force and Revolution and more, with each of the rides being illuminated from 4pm.

As well as being able to ride late into the evening, visitors can enjoy fantastic entertainment on park and an amazing firework display at 10pm to end the night.

The last Late Night Riding events of the year will take place on October 26 and November 2.

Tickets for the event are on sale now.

Managing Director of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Amanda Thompson OBE, said: “Our Late Night Riding events are truly brilliant. There is an amazing atmosphere on park and the fireworks really do make it an unmissable event.

“We feel very lucky to be able to offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy Late Night Riding one last time before the end of season.”
