The Pleasure Beach is one of the few parks left in the world to operate a traditional wooden Wild Mouse coaster.(…is one of …left in the world to …, …是迄今世界上少有的能…的…) The ride was built entirely(完全) in house, post-World War II and is still in complete working order(正常运行). It was also the first park in Europe to introduce(采用) a full inverting(全倒置) steel coaster, Irn-Bru Revolution, and the first to install a Space Shot ride, Tango Ice Blast which was manufactured by S&S Sports Of Utah. The park went on to(继续) launch Valhalla, which was designed by Sarner, a UK based theme park design company. Valhalla is sponsored(主办) by the Daily Star and remains prominently the 'biggest and most spectacular(壮观的,惊人的) dark ride in the world. Later the Pleasure Beach opened Bling, a Zierer Star Shape spin ride of which only two are operated in the world. The latest record is taken by Infusion which is the world's first suspended looping coaster(悬挂式过山车) entirely over water. The park has a wide variety of(各种各样的) modern and classic-age rides and operates a separate children-themed section called 'Beaver Creek' towards the back of the park near the entrance of the 'Space Invader 2' roller coaster. This section of the park includes numerous small attractions suitably aimed at(十分适合地面向) younger children. This corresponds with the parks mascots(吉祥物), Bradley and Bella Beaver who roam(闲逛) the park on a daily basis(每天) entertaining the younger visitors.
The park has numerous food stalls(小吃摊), restaurants and café's including the 'Italian Job' Italian themed restaurant (situated next to the Tom Sawyer bridge, adjacent to the Big Dipper station) and the UK's largest Burger King chain restaurant(连锁饭店), with two levels. It also owns the 'White Tower Restaurant' a tall white building near the front of the park which is used and is hired for private parties.
