A popular high-flying attraction has returned to Skegness, with the “Big Ben Tower” ride now back at Skegness Pleasure Beach.

The towering star-flyer ride, which stands at around 80 metres tall, has been confirmed by the seaside attraction following growing speculation online.

In a post on social media, Skegness Pleasure Beach said: “The rumours are true… the Big Ben Tower is back,” adding that it had not been easy to keep the news under wraps.

Describing the ride as one of the biggest of its kind in the UK, the attraction invited thrill-seekers to take to the skies once again, asking visitors who would be returning for another spin this year.

The Big Ben Tower ride has returned to Skegness for the summer.

The ride, located on Grand Parade, proved a popular addition when it previously visited the resort, offering sweeping views across the coastline for those brave enough to ride it.

Local page Go Skegness also shared the update, with John Byford saying the attraction had “arrived all the way from Hong Kong” and that it was great to see it back in the town.

He added that the much-loved ride was already “ticking all the right boxes” ahead of its return to operation.

The reappearance of the Big Ben Tower is expected to draw visitors to the seafront once again as the holiday season gets underway.
