Want the thrills and spills of the Pleasure Beach but don’t want to sell your organs off to afford a day ticket? Want some proper, traditional seaside fun? Want to experience some rides that you won’t find anywhere else? Then look no further than Blackpool’s South Pier! Located right next to the Sandcastle Water Park, this pier has stood the tests of time and now is better than ever to visit this place! From arcade machines to fairground rides that are looked after by the Blackpool Pier Company, the friendly staff are always willing to give you your money’s worth on the rides and unlike say Alton Towers they actually run them the proper way. They have been cleared to run by health and safety as they have done for many many years so ignore what the press says! The latest addition is the Rock and Roll, a newer faster version of the old Roller Bob ride that used to live on the pier many years ago. Very very fast and a very fun experience that I cannot recommend enough! Also on the pier is the newly refurbished Waltzer, the famous Break Dance, the Cliffhanger Miami Ride, the Crazy Coaster and a Dodgem! For real thrill seekers they have the SkyCoaster which flings you over the edge of the pier and the Skyscreamer Slingshot which is definitely not to be missed! Also loads of food options, a bar, a massive screen to watch sport’s events on and so much more this is definitely one not to be missed! Rides are on an affordable token basis with the exception of the SkyCoaster and SkyScreamer which are to be paid separately!

Good views if Blackpool from this pier. Decent arcade, able to purchase food and drink at reasonable costs. Plenty of seating in the middle, usual run if tacky shops, but it adds to the pier experience. Worth a visit

Hellraiser waltzer is the best one on the pier. This one is the fastest in the world the best one in the world. It’s my favourite one brilliant all day. This is an excellent waltzer to ride ever on the pier n great value for price n best thing was bringing out the cards n excellent staff
