Hi All
I have just been reading the following from the BBC Web Site Blackpool Pleasure Beach was the number 1 tourist attraction with 5.5 Mlillion visitors last year proving that allthough not the numbers that it once attracted admittedey but 5.5 million people still go to the seaside and still enjoy the seaside fairground.

Now for the bad news also from the BBC web site
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/engl ... 248539.stm
It would seem the management at BPB just dont learn from there mistakes thay are going to introduce a £5 entry fee for the pleasure beach from 2009, ok this will include 3 rides, but thay saw what happend at southport when thay introduced a £2 charge to come in, In but a few short years I think Nick and all may be having to create a new Campain Save Blackpool Pleasure Beach. This story is also covered on BPB Guide website and forums http://www.tbppbguideforums.info/bpb/vi ... sc&start=0
Every one there is saying what i am saying here its the begining of the end for BPB
I would suggest any one who wants to still get in for free gets there this season while entrance is still free. I know I will not go in there any more once thay start chargeing a fiver and i dont think i will be alone.
