Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been a feature beside the beach at Blackpool since it was founded in 1896 by William George Bean. The oldest surviving ride is Sir Hiram Maxim's Captive Flying Machines, which have been operating at the park since 1904. Other classics include wooden rollercoasters like Big Dipper, which opened in 1923, and Rollercoaster, which opened in 1933, now renamed Nickelodeon Streak. Grand National, a racing woodie, opened in 1935.

Blackpool's Big Dipper is the oldest operating rollercoaster at the Pleasure Beach, and the second oldest operating coaster in the UK after the Scenic Railway at Dreamland in Margate. It was originally constructed in 1923 by William Strickler from a design by the legendary John A Miller. Blackpool's Big Dipper was built in 1923. Even though it doesn't provide a smooth ride anymore, Big Dipper still holds its rightful place at Blackpool Pleasure Beach as one of the park's collection of classic woodies. If you can get over the roughness, it is still an astonishing ride full of character that has been thrilling riders for just short of a century.
