BLACKPOOL COMES TO OLDHAM

Opening from Friday, February 9 the annual event is set to be one of the most spectacula­r yet with over 25 thrilling rides and attraction­s!

As always there’s also entertainm­ent undercover too with the mini beach in an air-conditione­d marquee so even if it is a little chilly outside, children can build the perfect sandcastle or mum and dad can sit back and relax with a hot drink and cake while the thrill seekers head outside to sample an amazing array of attraction­s. This year the rides that will dominate the skyline are more spectacula­r than ever and great value too with an unlimited ride wristband, starting at just £5.99. And new for 2018 is the amazing Voodoo Revenge - the first time the ride has appeared at the fun park and is one of only two in the UK - and the popular and muchloved King Swing is back this year too! The most spectacula­r attraction though will be the Air Maxx, a monster of a ride brought in from Holland which features eight somersault­ing seats spinning 48 metres high through a full 360-degree loop. Blackpool Comes to Oldham wouldn’t be the same without its iconic Giant Wheel, which is back once again this year, standing at over 35 metres and the attraction will offer some amazing views for miles. There is also the thrilling Twister, the Snow Storm which simulates a high speed Bob Sleigh run and back for 2018 after missing last year are the ever popular Waltzers.
