Bling was an amusement ride located within Blackpool Pleasure Beach in Lancashire, North West England. The ride was built by German company Zierer in 2004. Bling was one of the newest additions to Pleasure Beach and was situated at the far end of the park adjacent to Burger King. The ride had a minimum height requirement of 4 ft 0 in (122 cm) and a maximum height requirement of 6 ft 5 in (196 cm). The ride was sold to The Skyline park in Germany where it operated under its new name of Sky Jet. In 2015, Bling was replaced by a Gerstlauer Sky Fly named "Red Arrows Skyforce". The ride was removed in November 2011.

Red Arrows Sky Force is a Gerstlauer sky fly ride at Pleasure Beach Resort that opened on 2 May 2015. It stands at 72 feet on the site of the former Bling ride, a Zierer star shape that was closed in 2011. After the closure of Bling in 2011 at the amusement park, the site immediately south of The Big One's hill remained empty with the exception of a few potted plants. Bling was closed in 2011.
