My 2025 season at Blackpool Pleasure Beach has come to an end — I went for one final visit to look back at everything that’s happened this year, the highs and the lows, and what’s coming next.

From Launchpad’s full internal rebuild, to the ongoing saga of River Caves, to behind-the-scenes tours, new events, early winter maintenance, retracking on Big Dipper, Aviktas arriving on site, hotel rumours, and the future of the Grand Prix site… this season has been full-on.

Join me for one last day at the park as I get my final rides of the year, recap the big stories of 2025, and look ahead to the huge changes coming in 2026 and beyond.

Let me know your 2025 highlights (and lowlights!) in the comments below — I’d love to read them.
