Experience the Thrills of Aviktas at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
So, if you just want to go in, ride the world's very first Ghost Train, and head out, it will cost you a total of £25.00 (£18 for entry + £7 for the ride ticket).
The Ride Specs: What to Expect
It’s official: Aviktas has formally opened at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. This dramatic addition to the park made its public debut on Thursday, May 21, 2026. Aviktas is a state-of-the-art Intamin gyro swing that has transformed the park's skyline. Built on the former site of the old bowl-a-drome building, it now stands as the tallest ride of its kind in the UK, towering nearly double the height of Drayton Manor's Maelstrom.
At an impressive height of 138 feet, Aviktas promises an exhilarating experience. Riders can expect to be seated in a giant, 40-seat circular pendulum that rotates while swinging at an intense 120-degree arc. Thrill-seekers will also feel the weight of gravity as they experience pulling up to 4g during the pendulum's dramatic swing. The lap-bar restraints enhance the sense of vulnerability, amplifying the airtime as riders soar out over the coast.
Ticket Prices & Park Entry
As Aviktas is part of the main park lineup, riders with a standard day pass or a season pass can enjoy this thrilling ride without needing to purchase a separate ticket. Blackpool Pleasure Beach employs a dynamic online pricing model, meaning ticket prices may fluctuate based on the date of booking. Below is a general overview of ticket prices for the 2026 season:
- All-You-Can-Ride E-Ticket (Standard Gate Price): £60.00
- Online Advance Discount: Booking ahead (at least before 6:00 AM on the day of your visit) can save you up to £30 per person. Advance tickets generally range from £35.00 to £41.50 for a full day of unlimited riding.
- Nickelodeon Land Only E-Ticket: £25.00 (Note: This ticket is geared towards families and only grants access to Nickelodeon Land rides, excluding Aviktas and the larger coasters.)
- Non-Rider Park Entry: £18.00 is available for those who want to soak up the atmosphere without participating on rides.
It is advisable to book swiftly, particularly if you plan to visit over the bank holiday weekend or later this month. Securing your tickets through the official Pleasure Beach Resort website not only ensures entry but can also lock in lower advance rates of £35–£40, as opposed to the full gate price of £60.
