This is perhaps the oldest traditional ghost train in the world, and I love its history and the ride itself! The theming is very fun (with an innovative trick in the station with the zombie banging on the box!) a sweet drop in the middle and plenty of fun spooks. Suitable for kids too!

Brilliant memories of this incredible ride and getting on it these days is still really enjoyable. It's quite funny, has a decent drop, is quite long and has a few nice jump scares. Operations are always good and it's great for all the family.

Better than a fairground ghost train but a bit dated compared to the other rides. There was nothing to shock or scare you except the unnecessary air horn at the very end. Still it's good for a bit of nostalgia.

Ghost Train is a dark ride attraction at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. It opened in 1930 as a single deck 'Pretzel' ride but was rebuilt and designed as an Art Deco double deck in 1936 by Joseph Emberton. It is notable as being the first to use the name of Ghost Train. It has also undergone several refurbishments over its years of operation. Notably by Joeseph Emberton in 1936 (as mentioned) and again in 1957 by Jack Ratcliff, where it was moved up slightly from its original location to accommodate the Wild Mouse. This is the version we see today although originally it was not themed at all. It finally got a makeover with 'castle' theming in 1973 and a large...

A fun and interesting classic ride that first opened in 1930, making it one of the most iconic attractions at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

It’s set up like a haunted house, and as you travel through in the dark, you’ll hear plenty of screams from other riders. The effects are old-school but still very entertaining. If you get scared easily, this might not be the ride for you, but it’s definitely worth a go for the experience.

Opened in 1930, a true Pleasure...

Whilst this Ghost Train is more traditional than others, it's still regularly maintained and updated by the park to include new scenes and special effects - meaning that it's always worth visiting again to see what's changed.

The queue can look quite long, and can move quite slowly because of the ride's naturally lower capacity. However in my experience, a full queue pen will take around 30...
