Carnesky’s Ghost Train is set to haunt the borders of art and entertainment for one last time on Blackpool’s Golden Mile for two weeks over Easter. In 2009 to Carnesky’s great surprise and joy Blackpool Council suggested that they wanted to take on the art piece as a permanent tourist attraction on the Golden Mile. Open throughout the season in all winds and all weathers, Carnesky’s Ghost Train went on to receive over 18,000 visitors a year and proving to be a big hit not only with the thousands of holidaymakers who stumbled across it but also with those whose traveled to Blackpool specifically to experience the unique ride. To celebrate this ambitious artwork that breached the gap between art and entertainment and changed the Blackpool entertainment landscape forever, Carnesky Productions will be holding a two week finale from 12-21st April 2014, giving the public the chance to take one final, frightful ride on Carnesky's Ghost Train.

Pleasure Beach Resort in Blackpool is one of the country's best-loved seaside attractions. The award-winning seaside theme park, which is just as popular in the colder months of the year, claims to be home to the most haunted ghost train in the world. The Ghost Train at Blackpool's Pleasure Beach Resort first opened to the public in 1930 and remains in operation to this day. The Ghost Train will form one of the four scare zones at Pleasure Beach Resort’s Journey to Hell event. Still in use today, the Ghost train will be part of this event, featuring live actors through themed areas of Pleasure Beach Resort. The resort's network tunnels will become home to a live-action scare zone, including The Ghost Train: Vault of Shadows, which returns for the second year.
The Ghost Train is said to be haunted by a clog-wearing spirit aptly named 'Cloggy', who died 20 years ago and was one of the ride's original operators. Cloggy, who always wore clogs, earned his nickname and after he passed away, guests reported being touched or grabbed by someone - or something - they could only hear. Other parts of the seaside theme park are also said to be haunted, including Hiram Maxim's Flying Machines, the park's oldest ride, where a ghostly little girl is said to haunt the ride's gift shop.

Ghost Train is a dark ride attraction at Pleasure Beach Resort, 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. Notably by Joeseph Emberton in 1936 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 skeleton on the top. The ride has an open station, which is decorated with different creatures such as trolls, ghosts and witches. The ride travels through the first section of scenes including a victim engulfed in cog wheels before going down a small drop in the station area and pulling up again to go into the second section featuring spiders, an exorcist girl in her bedroom and 3 skeleton cyclists. A whole section of the ride was changed from an Egyptian scene with a mummy and a spike coffin to a forest with corpses strapped to a gate and some snake-like creatures.
