[4K] Ghost Train at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, join us as we ride the world’s oldest Ghost Train with backlight to see all the horrors on this 1930’s classic ride

Ghost Train is a dark ride attraction at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, which opened in 1930 as a single deck 'Pretzel' ride, the Ghost Train was rebuilt and designed as an Art Deco double deck in 1936 by Joseph Emberton.

The Ghost Train is famous for being the first ride to use the name Ghost Train. The ride was a dark ride known as the Pretzel and manufactured by the Pretzel Amusement Ride Company. The Pretzel ride named after the rides pretzel-like track layout was not a widely known term in the UK and so the ride was named Ghost Train based on the popular 1923 comedy-thriller The Ghost Train written by Arnold Riley.

Paranormal events have been reported by staff on The Ghost Train and the ride has been featured on an episode of Most Haunted Live. The Ghostly activity has been attributed to a ghost that has been named Cloggy who is believed to be a former ride operator.

To ride the Ghost Train guests under 1.17m must be accompanied by an adult. Speedy Pass is available on this ride but there is no ride photo

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is an amusement park situated on Blackpool's South Shore, in the county of Lancashire, North West England. The park was founded in 1896 by A. W. G. Bean and his partner John Outhwaite and has been family owned and operated since. The current managing director is Bean's great-granddaughter Amanda Thompson.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach holds quite a few records, including the largest collection of wooden roller coasters in the UK, the Big Dipper, Blue Flyer, Grand National and Nickelodeon Streak. When it opened in 1994, The Big One or Pepsi Max Big One as it is also known was the tallest roller coaster in the world. It was also the steepest, with an incline angle of 65° and the second fastest with a top speed of 74 miles per hour.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is also home to Nickelodeon Land and the world's only Wallace & Gromit ride, the Thrill-O-Matic. In 2015 the park introduced Red Arrows Sky Force, a Gerstlauer Sky Fly thrill ride which is the first ride of its kind in the UK.
