If you were a Manchester kid growing up in the 1980s, there's a chance you holidayed in Blackpool and were one of many to take on the famous Monster Drop.
Located at The Professor Peabody’s Playplace in the Winter Gardens' Olympia Exhibition Hall, the mega playground was a paradise of pure excitement for youngsters. Many will remember it featured rope courses, climbing nets, ball pits, space ride and the enormous bouncy castle.
It also boasted different play areas for different age groups across the four floors, with some apparatus being fairly tame. The playground was the one of the ultimate childhood experiences - but there's one unforgettable feature many will remember braving and earning their stipes on.
