2-4-1 WRISTBANDS AT BLACKPOOL PLEASURE BEACH

-

Fa £15,000 pay rise? Set your alarm for 6am.

That’s because those who get up before 7am tend to earn more. The average early riser makes

£36,500, compared to £21,300 for those who sleep in.

Early birds really do catch the worm, according to a study showing a correlatio­n between getting up before

7am and earning thousands a year more than later risers.

Hillarys blinds commission­ed the poll to investigat­e whether waking earlier is worth it. Some 2,521 Britons were polled, all of whom were aged 18 or over, in a relationsh­ip and in fulltime employment. An even split of men and women took part.

First, respondent­s were asked if they got up before or after 7am on the average morning. The majority (63%) rose at 7am or later, while the other

37% were up before 7am.

All respondent­s were then asked to share details about their lives to see if there were any trends among early and late risers. When asked ‘How much do you earn, per year?’ the average late riser said £21,300 while the average early riser earned £36,500. THERE is something for everyone at Blackpool Pleasure Beach and we have a great 2-for-1 wristband offer – saving you £39! The UK’s favourite amusement park boasts amazing attraction­s, spectacula­r shows and events, family fun and white-knuckle thrills.

The Pleasure Beach really is the world’s most ride-intensive amusement park. With 10 amazing rollercoas­ters to choose from, whatever your taste in thrills there’s a ride for you. If you have a head for heights the UK’s tallest Early risers had also held a greater number of jobs, with an average of 11 – against just five for those who slept in longer.

All those who got up before 7am were asked to share what they did first thing in the morning. Most (58%) said “work-related tasks”, followed by those who used their time to “work out” (48%) or “prepare food” (31%). One in ten of the early risers got up early to plan their outfit.

Finally, the team looked at all those who said they rose before 7am to find rollercoas­ter, The Big One, offers high-speed drops and awesome views. And if you like your world turned upside down head for the 360-degree Revolution. Be ready to immerse your senses on Infusion, the UK’s only suspended looping coaster that’s completely over water with five incredible loops and rolls.

Ice Blast is a 210ft tower where riders are shot upwards at 80mph before plummeting back to earth. And be prepared to get wet on Valhalla, voted the best water ride in the world. You will take a out which regions they were from and to spot any geographic­al trends.

Helen Turnbull, from Hillarys, told us: “These findings really highlight the fact that if you want to earn more you’ll have to produce more.”

I’m not convinced just setting your alarm will get you a whopping pay rise, but the numbers do suggest we become more productive and have better job prospects.

But what about our poor milkmen and all the others who are already up at the crack of dawn? journey through blazing fires, breathtaki­ng waterfalls, freezing mists and the stores of Thor. Opening soon is ICON, the UK’s first double launch rollercoas­ter. It sends guests on an exhilarati­ng journey where they will feel the same accelerati­on as a Formula One driver before twisting and turning at high speed across the park’s other rides.

A second boost of speed sends riders to heights of 88.5ft, with drops of up to 82ft, giving even the bravest of thrillseek­ers an unforgetta­ble experience.
