Bling (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)

Bling was a Zierer Star Shape ride at Pleasure Beach Resort in Blackpool, England. The ride opened on 1 June 2004, the second of three Star Shapes to have been built, and the only one to have been a permanent installation. Bling was located at the far end of the park. It was the park's fourth-tallest ride after The Big One, Launch Pad, and Infusion.
The ride had a minimum height requirement of 122 cm and a maximum height allowance of 196 cm. Six gondolas, which each seated five people, reached a height of 30 metres and spun in three different directions at speeds of up to 97 km/h. It exerted a maximum of 2.5 Gs on riders.
The ride closed following the 2011 season, and was sold to Skyline Park in Germany, where it operated under the name Sky Jet. In 2015, the site at Pleasure Beach Resort formerly occupied by Bling was replaced by a Gerstlauer Sky Fly called Red Arrows Sky Force, which operated until the end of the 2024 season.
In 2020, Sky Jet was purchased by Mellor's Group, and it was sent to Fantasy Island. It was set to reopen as Turbulence in March 2020, replacing the former Frisbee ride, but it has yet to do so.
