    Very sad to find out that Richard devere died only aged 46 back in 2014. This whole documentary had me in tears in some parts, nothing really in particular, just the nostalgia and the magic of the PB, it has now been lost to blind capitalism. Mr Funshine isnt smiling down on it anymore.

    Sadly the days of the park been as busy as in this series have long passed. Or indeed of the park being open as late as this series shows

    Blackpool today looks better than it's ever looked, I hope one day they build an attraction as iconic as the big one and bring in people from all over the world like they did in the 90s.

    Amanda might be quite assertive and over the top but that’s how she’s been running a successful award winning ice show for over 25 years and running a successful theme park for 20 years (which she had to take over from her father after he tragically passed away on her wedding day and had to pay off the vast amounts of debt the park had) . i think she’s a class act and deserves so much praise

      Central Pier with its own mini-fairground has been expanding in all directions, ever since BPB decided to charge for entry, and is now more popular than PBP.

    I stopped going on the pleasure beach when they started charging just to walk on in 2009.

    Amanda may lack the avuncular charm of her father, but the Pleasure Beach in 2024 under her leadership is a lot safer (due to restricting access to ticket holders only) and cleaner (we went last month and the park looked immaculate) than it did in the 1998. Gone of the surly staff and now replaced with friendly and a customer focused team who couldn't not do enough for our family when we visited in May 2024.

      I agree. I'm happy to pay regardless for a far safer cleaner park. Queues are minimal too so don't know what folk moan about. You get well worth your money. The park used to be mobbed, full of pick pockets. smokers puffing in your face and spend half the day queueing. It's a far better experience now. We were there in April and clocked up 20 rides for the gate price of £50. Bargain.
