Nice pics, the town is desperately in need of regeneration though,

Look at all the turds washed up! :runaway:

Cool Rides! What are the data of the coasters? Which is the diametre of the Ferris Wheel?
Is the tower at the Casino also open for tourists?

Yes it is.

What are the data of the coasters?

Taken from the official web page.........

The tallest fastest rollercoaster in Europe. 235ft high and over one mile of twisting and turning at speeds of up to 87mph.

I hope Blackpool gets the super casinos. It's been the source of fun for millions of ordinary folk since Victorian days.
It deserves to get the investment it needs to bring it into the big-league of entertainment destinations.

A quick search on Google later, and it would appear the Pleasure Beach has been less than truthful with it's statitics. It's actually 213ft tall, and goes 74mph. It's also shorther and slower than Silver Star in Germany which is actually Europe's tallest and fastest.

Fantastic pics though - really captures the spirit of the town well. It does need re-generating, but hopefully not to the detriment of the charm of the place.

Excellent pics. And the regeneration plans look great to give Blackpool the new lease of life it needs and deserves.
