Red Arrows Sky Force is a Gerstlauer sky fly ride at Pleasure Beach Resort that opened on 2 May 2015. It stands at 72 feet (22 m) on the site of the former "Bling" ride, a Zierer star shape that was closed in 2011.[1]
History
After the closure of Bling in 2011 at the amusement park, the site immediately south of The Big One's hill remained empty with the exception of a few potted plants.
Towards the end of the 2014 season, Pleasure Beach announced they had joined forces with the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force aerobatic team, to deliver 'Red Arrows Skyforce' for the 2015 season.[2]
Red Arrows Skyforce was opened by Amanda Thompson, managing director of Pleasure Beach Resort, on 25 May 2015 and has been in operation ever since.
