Red Arrows Sky Force

Red Arrows Sky Force was a Gerstlauer Sky Fly ride at Pleasure Beach Resort in Blackpool, England. It opened on 2 May 2015, and stood at 22 metres tall. It had top speeds of 40 km/h. It operated on the site of the former Bling ride, a Zierer Star Shape that was closed in 2011.

History

After the closure of Bling following the 2011 season, the site which it operated on, immediately south of The Big One's lift hill, remained empty, with the exception of a few potted plants.
Towards the end of the 2014 season, the park announced they had partnered with the Red Arrows, a Royal Air Force aerobatic team, to install Red Arrows Sky Force for the 2015 season.
Red Arrows Sky Force had an opening ceremony headed by Amanda Thompson, managing director of Pleasure Beach Resort, on 2 May 2015. The ride operated until the end of the 2024 season. By the 2025 season, the ride vehicles had been removed, while the ride's base and its queue lines remained.
