Blackpool Pleasure Beach is named the “best of the best” in the Park World Excellence Awards 2026, according to multiple outlets. The historic seaside attraction is described as 130 years old in coverage and is said to have received the top recognition at the 2026 awards.
The reports also highlight the venue’s long-running history, with one note that it dates back to 1986, though the articles describe the Pleasure Beach as 130 years old. Both sources frame the win as a major achievement within the theme parks industry, positioning Blackpool Pleasure Beach as a leading destination alongside other well-known amusement parks.
While the outlets provide the same core information about the award and the Pleasure Beach receiving it, their wording emphasizes different details—one reiterates the “who needs Disneyland” phrasing and the other presents the same claim without additional variation. Overall, the common focus remains on the Park World Excellence Awards 2026 recognition and the attraction’s prominence in theme park rankings.
