Ghost Train (Pleasure Beach Blackpool)
Ghost Train is a dark ride attraction at Pleasure Beach Blackpool, in Blackpool Lancashire, England. It opened in 1930 and was designed by Joseph Emberton. It is notable as being the first real "Ghost Train" in the world, and the first to use the name of Ghost Train. It is one of the few Ghost Trains left in the UK that is not portable. It has also undergone several refurbishments over its years of operation.
==Design and history==
In the 1920s, "Pretzel rides" were becoming a big hit in the USA. During the late 1920s, Pleasure Beach decided to buy one of these types of dark rides. The designer, Joseph Emberton, called the ride "Ghost Train", based on the name of the popular play at the time, ''The Ghost Train'' 〔http://www.joylandbooks.com/themagiceye/bitsofthebeach/ghosttrain.htm〕
Today, the ride consists mainly of special effects using luminescent paint, lit by blacklights. Many scenes in the ride are based on horror stories, characters or films, such as Dracula and more recently The Exorcist.
The ride has an open station, which is decorated with different creatures such as trolls, ghosts and witches (which have noticeably deteriorated over the years). The ride travels through the first section of scenes before going down a small drop in the station area, and pulling up again to go into the second section.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGJSVGzWdUM〕
