Standing 235 feet above the promenade, the lift-hill of The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach dominates the skyline. But imagine not just riding it — imagine walking it. With “Walk The Big One”, the park invites a small group of thrill-seekers to strap in harnesses, climb every lift-hill step and reach the summit for views few ever see. It’s a must-do for adrenaline junkies, coaster fans and anyone with a sense of adventure.

Practical tips for participants
Here are handy tips you can include in your blog to help your audience prepare:
- Wear sensible footwear with good grip (boots or sturdy trainers). Avoid smooth-soled shoes.
- Arrive 10 minutes early with booking reference (print or on phone).
- Be prepared for physical exertion — you’ll climb up to the top and then descend 420 steps.
- Minimum age 12 and height 1.32 m so ensure those criteria are met before booking.
- Consider the lighting & time of day: early evening sessions may give atmospheric views.
- Bring a camera or phone with good battery: those views at the top are Instagram-worthy.
- Check the weather forecast: strong winds or rain might affect the tour.
- If you’re blogging or filming: highlight the unique vantage point and talk to the ops team if possible for behind the scenes insights.
