Infusion Gets The Official O-Kay!

TV and Radio star Vernon Kay will swap his gameshow marathon for a rollercoaster marathon as he officially launches Pleasure Beach, Blackpool’s brand new ride Infusion on Wednesday 6th June.

Bolton born Vernon will return to the North West to host the explosive opening event, which will feature fabulous fireworks, ice sculptures, stilt walkers, wading violinists and even a mermaid! The extravaganza commences at 11.30am and Pleasure Beach will open its gates to the public early, to allow visitors to come and share the excitement.

Having visited Pleasure Beach many times before and as a huge fan, Vernon was thrilled to be asked to open Infusion and can’t wait to test the ride out for himself.

Amanda Thompson, MD of Pleasure Beach, comments, “Vernon is such a friendly, fun and lively character so he’s the perfect celebrity to launch such a fun and exciting new attraction. Infusion is a great addition to Pleasure Beach and is deserving of such a high profile and lavish opening ceremony. We’re all looking forward to welcoming Vernon for what promises to be a day to remember.“
