Sadly fun though Blackpool's rides are most of them are utter deathtraps, lad killed a year or so ago on the Space Invader, too many lateral Gs and a crap harness meant he was flung out.

but to say that most of the rides are deathtraps is utter bollocks. I can remember two or three accidents in the last 30 years - not bad when you consider it's the most popular tourist attraction in Europe.

I'd like to think that I've done an above average number of white-knuckle rides in my time, and on virtually all I felt safe. The Blackpool ones I felt that the park could've put some effort in, like the Max using poorly fitting car seatbelts instead of drop-down harnesses.

I'm not going to argue, suffice to say I've never really felt in any kind of danger on the rides there, but sod it, maybe that's just me.

all of Blackpool is just plain GAY.
It has one of the biggest gay populations outside of Manchester and Brighton.
I almost went to Flamingos last night now that it's moved buildings but I couldn't be arsed in the end.
