Skegness has long been a favorite destination for holidaymakers, renowned for its beach, donkey rides, arcades, and vibrant atmosphere. A key highlight of this seaside town is Skegness Pleasure Beach, known for its diverse array of rides and rollercoasters catering to families.
Recently, the amusement park gained further attention with its new ride, ‘Big Ben,’ which officially opened on July 3 and stands an impressive 262 feet high. This towering attraction offers stunning views of the town and can be easily spotted from various points around Skegness. The ride, which swings patrons out above the landscape, has already captivated visitors and is a prominent feature of the local skyline.
In addition to ‘Big Ben,’ the park’s Jurassic Resurrection ride has also been nominated for the Best New Attraction in the 2025 UK Theme Park Awards, showcasing the growing appeal of the park.
Ticket prices for ‘Big Ben’ are set at £10, which some may find steep, given the ride’s brief duration of just under five minutes. However, visitors report that the sweeping views and exhilarating experience make it worthwhile. Though thrilling, the ride has prompted mixed feelings, as some may prefer the varied experiences offered by traditional rollercoasters over the repetitive spinning of ‘Big Ben.’
As Skegness continues to evolve with new attractions, it reflects the broader trend of amusement parks enhancing their offerings to attract guests, promising an exciting future for visitors seeking adventure and enjoyment by the sea.
