Pleasure Beach: Traveling the opposite direction from the Loreto Hotel, you have some very serious rides! Onwards, upwards and round-about. There are no less than 13 roller coasters at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Best to have ya fish and chips afterwards! The most famous roller coaster, and the biggest in Europe, is the Pepsi Max Big One - sheer free fall is perhaps the best description of this. Take a historical trip on the old Grand National. This was Europe's first twin track roller coaster built in 1935. It's noisy and made of wood! You can loop 360% on the Irn-Bru Revolution, or bob sleigh down the high-speed Avalanche and how about being catapulted 210 ft into the air on the Ice Blast, then being dropped down free fall.
