Facelift for Blackpool Tower

Plans to revamp Blackpool Tower have been unveiled by owners Leisure Parcs. The £3 million project will see Level 5 of the Tower completely redeveloped. Jungle Jim’s will be replaced by Jungle Jim’s Towering Adventureland, described by Leisure Parcs as ‘the most innovative and interactive play scheme of its kind in the UK’.

Based around a ‘Lost City’, the 2,500 square metre attraction will set youngsters upon a quest, taking them through a series of exciting adventures in their search to find the hidden treasure.

The glass-roofed area will include the installation of three huge ships each with separate theming, their own characters and the capacity to host dedicated children’s parties.

A number of the Tower’s architectural features, not seen by the public for over twenty five years and including several areas currently used as storage units, will be restored to their former glory, underlining the architectural significance of the 113 year old building.
