It’s Aviktas opening day!
Starting with a speech from Amanda Thompson OBE and presentation from Intamin Managing Director, Sascha Czibulka
We’re also delighted to bump into the Pleasure Beach legend, Jim “JR” Rowland, who of course is here to get the bloody thing open. (IYKYK)
Blackpool Pleasure Beach officially opens UK’s tallest extreme Gyro Swing.
History was made in Blackpool today. The brand new £8.72m giant gyro swing, Aviktas, launched - and it’s the tallest of its kind in the UK!
Here are some quick facts:
🎢 Aviktas swings to a height of 138ft and reaches angles of 120 degrees
🎢 Riders experience up to four Gs – that’s the same amount as a rocket during take-off!
🎢 The seats are designed to give you that ultimate stomach-drop, weightless feeling.
Would you brave this new giant? Let us know in the comments 👇
