If you’re an adrenaline-junkie then you may want to head to Blackpool Pleasure Beach this autumn for a roller coaster experience with a difference. The theme park will be opening late for a limited number of nights, so thrillseekers can enjoy their favourite rides after dark.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s Friday Night event will launch on Friday, September 2, the same night when the iconic Illuminations are switched on. The theme park will then open from 4pm to 9pm every Friday in September.

Visitors can expect the park’s iconic rides - especially The Big One - to be even more thrilling after the sun sets. It’s also a chance to enjoy the promenade’s colourful lights from above, Lancs Live reports.
