Attractions / Blackpool News Dare to Walk the Big One? 21 September 2017 by Visit Blackpool Due to the huge demand, Blackpool Pleasure Beach is adding an extra date to the ever-popular Walk The Big One line up on Friday 6th October. Walk The Big One offers guests the chance to walk to the up of the UK’s tallest rollercoaster and enjoy the breathtaking views. For just £50.00, guests can walk up the 420 steps to the top of one of Europe’s biggest roller coasters and take in the stunning views from the summit of the 42-acre amusement park and beyond for miles around. At this time of year the views are extra special as they also take in the Blackpool Illuminations. It is your chance to be the envy of your friends and family as you harness up and walk with five other guests – escorted at all times by experienced Big One operators – and climb into history! The walks will take place on October 6th at 18:00, 19:00 and 20:00, and can be booked online in advance at www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com. There is a maximum of six climbers per walk. Every climber will receive an exclusive certificate. Nick Thompson, Deputy Managing Director of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, said: “The Big One is one of the most iconic roller coasters in the world. It was a world’s first for its sheer height and speed and we want to give riders an experience no other amusement park can give them. “In previous years, these events have been hugely popular and because of this we have decided to continue them and allow even more visitors to enjoy stunning views of Blackpool and beyond and experience a completely different type of thrill on this iconic ride.”
