Just like any other attraction. it&#8217;s as long as you make it. If you take your time throughout and get involved with the interaction on offer you&#8217;ll be there for a good while. Whereas if you rush through of course it will obliviously be short.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s not an empty space or something interesting throughout the entire attraction. As you walk in to the right hand side the famous fertility statue from the Pleasure Beach documentary is on display still. As theme park enthusiast we tend to really enjoy well themed attractions &amp; this certainly does not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7883\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY.jpg?resize=350%2C262&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whilst passing through the attraction something\u2019s will make you question your eyes in all honesty. Some things seem crazy to believe where others not so unbelievable. Therefore the name is really fitting haha.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7885\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY2.jpg?resize=350%2C262&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY2.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY2.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY2.jpg?w=1043&amp;ssl=1 1043w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some of things throughout are a lot more impressive &amp; cool rather than strange. However the population of weird to the impressive is as high as expected. It\u2019s worth reading each fact card as it is very interesting.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7884\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY1.jpg?resize=350%2C262&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s some things which are quite dark and truthfully a little daunting. Which is why I think reading the little cards beside of them are quite important as it is quite interesting but bit surreal.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7886\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY3.jpg?resize=350%2C262&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the end of the attraction is a trommel tunnel which you walk through the middle of. As anybody who has experienced a dark ride with this element could imagine its mind blowing &amp; trippy which suits this attraction to the tee. However if you suffer motion sickness I wouldn\u2019t really recommend going through it.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7888\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY4.jpg?resize=350%2C262&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY4.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY4.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY4.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/RIPLEY4.jpg?w=1043&amp;ssl=1 1043w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you exit into the shop there&#8217;s plenty of merch to get your hands on as well as Blackpool based things to buy too all of which are fairly priced.<\/p>\n<p>For us Ripley\u2019s is certainly worth that small fee of \u00a36 for an adult . Also those who are students if planning to visit take some student ID as its only \u00a35 entry. There&#8217;s of course pricing differences for the elderly and children too. I&#8217;d recommend anyone to experience this attraction and it&#8217;s just like a darker &amp; weird version of Madame Tussauds really.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We\u2019d certainly recommend anybody to visit Ripley\u2019s believe or not whilst in Blackpool. It may not be everybody\u2019s cup of tea but as with anything in life, you won\u2019t know until you try it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7365\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/545E3022-CE60-4736-B83D-19CA972D3EF1.png?resize=960%2C320&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our review from our visit to Ripley&#8217;s Believe it or Not Blackpool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":66,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5051,5054],"tags":[52,72,79,2713,1637,2393,654,353,354,355,386,2710,470,2712,2711],"class_list":["post-64","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-attractions","category-themed-attractions","tag-attractions","tag-blackpool-attractions","tag-blackpool-resort","tag-cheap-day-out","tag-insight","tag-must-visit","tag-review","tag-ripleys","tag-ripleys-believe-it-or-not","tag-ripleys-believe-it-or-not-blackpool","tag-strange-sights","tag-uk-themed-attractions","tag-weird-and-wonderful","tag-weird-experience","tag-what-to-do-in-blackpool-things-to-see"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/img_4757.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb4qDv-12","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7890,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions\/7890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/66"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
