The massive white-knuckle ride – one of the tallest swing rides in Europe – will open at the Festival Headland next to Blackpool Tower on Friday, November 18.

At nearly half the height of the Tower, the Star Flyer was a hit with thrill seekers when it opened on the Promenade last year.

With 16 swinging seats spinning high above the resort’s rooftops, the ride offers breathtaking views of Blackpool and the Fylde Coast.
