    If I bought 2 (one for son and one for husband) could he share the wristband with me? we don't go on rides together as one of us looks after little one... just wondering if it's OK to do this.

    Afraid not, we were there last week and they mark your hand with UV light as well as checking wrist bands.

    The price is great but as they have got your money in advance the queue for prebooked tickets was rediculous with only one person serving, so get there early and be prepared.

    All in all it represents great value for money, we went last Thursday and went on the Big One 4 times, queue time 20minutes and Valhalla ( our fave- but very wet ) twice, queue 40 minutes.

    The entrance price includes a show - we saw Mystique - a caberet/magic/adult comedian affair which was pretty decent as our favourite Eclipse is closed on a Thursday.

    Wow, you're judgemental considering you've never been to Blackpool before!

    Thanks for your post, I've decided not to bother the queuing times are a bit much considering you went mid-week and not the weekend.

    No probs - we went on 20 decent rides and thought it was great value, but if you can go when the schools go back you'll manage closer to 50 or until you're green - whichever is first!!!!!!!

    Blackpool pleasure beach disappointed me when I went last year.

    As someone who's grown up living near Alton Towers (season pass holder...!) going to the Pleasure Beach was a bit naff really. Cheap, and tacky. The fabled big one, while decent enough is only mildly thrilling due to the fact you're pooing yourself thinking the rides going to fall apart because of all the rattling and creaking.

    Which is pretty much a common theme through most of the park I'm afraid.
