Skyforce at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
21 May 2015
by Visit Blackpool
A ride billed for thrillseekers and for Red Arrows’ enthusiasts, this does not disappoint either! Red Arrows Skyforce is the product of the unique partnership between the Red Arrows and Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a ride so unique to the UK this is the only theme park in the UK which you will find a ride of this kind. For the first time in ride Pleasure Beach history, you are in full control. . .
As you embark on your Red Arrows Skyforce adventure, you and 11 other pilots will reach heights of 72ft on a journey fully controlled by yourself! Wanting to take the full 360 spin or just wanting to glide through the sky, you decide!
Modelled on the recently modified design of the Royal Airforce Red Arrows livery, visitors to the park can take to the sky in the ultimate in aviation design.
Like mastering the wheel of any vehicle, practice makes perfect, and this ride is no exception! You can control your entire journey by manoeuvring the wings to take the path you desire. But be warned, 360 spins are not as easy as they look. Some of the VisitBlackpool team instantly took to mastering the art of the full looping spin, where others were left in limbo, after numerous attempts. By a combination of tilted wings, alternate angles and tactically shifted body weight, you really can determine your own flight!
A truly unique ride delivering a bespoke experience each and every time, make sure Red Arrows Skyforce is on your summer check list and ticked off sooner rather than later. Be sure to head to the Pleasure Beach on Bank Holiday Monday at 2pm if you’re in the resort and witness the stunning Red Arrows take to the skies for a truly breathtaking display.
