Pleasure Beach Blackpool, Blackpool Pleasure Beach to 2006 (in short: BPB), is a traditional amusement park in Blackpool ( Lancashire, England).

The park was founded in 1896 by Alderman William George Bean with the goal of " an amusement park in the American style, the fundamental principle is that adults feel like children again " to create. He is now at around 7 million visitors a year, one of the most visited theme park in Europe.

The completed in 1994 roller coaster The Big One, until the opening of Silver Star in 2002 with about 65m was the highest roller coaster in Europe.
