Commenting, Pleasure Beach Managing Director Amanda Thompson said, “I am absolutely delighted that Pleasure Beach has been recognised on such a international level. The park was founded in 1896, and ever since then we have strived to offer the very best in fabulous entertainment. Our year on year investment and the opening of Nickelodeon Land this year has helped cement our position on the international map and as the UK’s number one park”.
