Grand Prix (Closed) - On-Ride POV - Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Take a nostalgic drive back in time with this on-ride POV of Grand Prix, the classic car ride that operated at Blackpool Pleasure Beach for more than six decades before being removed in 2023.

Originally opened in 1960, Grand Prix was one of the park’s most recognisable family attractions — a scenic, winding, elevated race-track where guests drove electrically powered cars through tight bends, small drops, and iconic seaside theming. With its multi-level layout, distinctive overpasses and charming retro styling, it became a beloved part of the Pleasure Beach skyline for generations.

This POV was filmed during the final years of operation, capturing the full experience as it appeared before removal. No commentary, no music overlays — just the authentic sound and motion of a Blackpool classic that’s now part of the park’s history.
