Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort has transformed one of its iconic rides for a new generation. Last week (Wednesday, May 7), Launch Pad was officially opened, a reimagined ride which was previously called Ice Blast. Last year, the team at the Pleasure Beach spent the year revamping the 210 foot ride which shoots riders 20 storeys skywards. It also reaches speeds of up to 80mph, provides a feeling of weightlessness at the top, a thrusting G-force, and a stomach-dropping descent.

Then there’s Higgitt’s Las Vegas Arcade in Blackpool, where a single coin still unlocks a full, greasy, gloriously nostalgic meal.
