A short amateur film produced by James Madden of a trip to Blackpool by a group of boys from Gateshead. While there they ride the rollercoaster and other attractions at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, visit Blackpool Tower and enjoy the annual Illuminations. Credit: Pathfinder Films Title: Let’s Go to Blackpool On a train, two boys look over a map or plan on a table, at another table two boys play a game of travel chess while at a third table a boy eats as those around him look out of the window. Two boys play cards at a fourth table. A view of a poster for the Blackpool Evening Gazette changes to a carriage on-board a roller coaster at the Blackpool Pleasure Beach and a phantom ride around the circuit. Views follow from the carriage of a monorail slowly traveling around showing the pleasure beach rides and attractions below. The boys eat candyfloss from sticks before some of them take a ride on a Round-Up watched by the others nearby. The boys pose around a mannequin beside the ‘Golden Fully' attraction. At a small racing circuit, the boys speed around the track in mini-karts. Traveling by elevator to the top of Blackpool Tower, the film then changes to show various buildings and vehicles lit up at night as part of the Illuminations. The film ends on various illuminated buses and trolleys travel along the promenade. End credit: The End. A James Madden Production
