Blackgang Chine, Theme park on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
Blackgang Chine spans over 40 acres of gardens and themed areas, featuring outdoor rides and walkthrough attractions along the southern coast.
Founded in 1843 by Alexander Dabell, the park began with a whale skeleton display and developed into the oldest operating amusement park in the United Kingdom.
The park incorporates different themed sections including Restricted Area 5, Fairyland, Cowboy Town, and Pirate Cove, each offering specific entertainment activities.
The park provides unlimited free returns within seven days of the initial visit, along with facilities such as restaurants, gift shops, and free parking.
Due to coastal erosion advancing at 3.5 meters per year, the park regularly relocates its attractions further inland to preserve operations.
