Aviktas on the Horizon: Huge New Ride Coming to Blackpool

Blackpool’s new ride for 2026 is already shaping up to be something truly special. On our first visit to the park in quite some time, it was impossible not to notice just how impressive the construction looks. The ride dominates views from all around the park and is clearly visible even from across the road, giving a real sense of the scale of what’s being built.

This new attraction is set to be a huge milestone for Blackpool, as it represents the first completely new ride hardware to arrive at the park since ICON opened. Seeing such a major investment is incredibly exciting and shows just how significant this project is for the future of the resort. Work on installing the ride is still ongoing, with various components continuing to arrive on site — including the ride seats, which have already been spotted waiting to be installed. With progress continuing to move forward, anticipation is really starting to build for what 2026 will bring.
