What is: The Big One - Blackpool Pleasure Beach

The Big One is a steel roller coaster, located at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, in Lancashire, UK. The ride originally opened to the public as the world’s tallest roller coaster, standing 213ft (64.9m) high. But it’s a lot more than just a record breaker. Join myself and Blackpool Pleasure Beach aficionado Scott of Pleasure Beach experience, as we discuss the complex history of the Big One, from taking inspiration from Magnum XL-200, to its Pepsi Max branding!
