Went on the skycoaster with my partner for his birthday treat. I was dreading it but was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it. The team of guys and girls that strap you in and see you through the experience are lovely and friendly and explain what to do very clearly. Can't reccomend this ride enough. So glad my fella pushed me to try it.

I’m an aficionado of Blackpool’s leisure attractions, having been visiting for 30 years. However, it’s probably been about 15 years since my last visit to the Sandcastle Well, I was very pleasantly surprised at the upgrades on my visit. Due to covid restrictions, you have to book your visit online but this was an easy process. Check in was painless and yore given a wristband to activate a locker (£2 deposit paid with your online ticket but refunded when you return the wristband) There are communal lockers and showers but separate changing cubicles and toilets When I last visited, there were only the 4 indoor slides - blue and yellow longer but gentler and the deceptively smaller but much faster red and green ones There are now some fun, new (to me) rides - a water coaster, a half pipe and 2 which wind outside the building - one with a swirling bowl halfway down and another head first fast experience. All are fun and more extrem There’s also a fun lazy river and a wave pool The staff were super friendly and helpful in navigating where to get the right tube for each ride Spent a fun 3 hours having fun
