Project MMXXVI

Here at Pleasure Beach, we’re known for going big. Whether that’s the rollercoaster that held the record for being the tallest in the UK for 29 years or Launch Pad towering 20 storeys tall, we’ve transformed the Blackpool skyline with soaring structures designed for maximum thrills.

And we’re about to do it again.

Project MMXXVI is a colossal £8.72M Gyro Swing, imposing proudly on our coastline. Riders will face outwards, legs in freefall, as the gigantic spinning pendulum swings higher and higher. And higher.

The world-class height, speed and breathtaking angles create an exhilarating feeling of flying through the air… and out to sea.

It’s the first of its kind in the UK, far taller than any similar rides in existence in Britain.
