Yeh, there is 7 (including the tiny one in the shopping centre) 6 on the prom. Viva Espania is in one called 'AJ Ryans Snappyland'. Thats also probably the best arcade there. They have old machines from Colossus, and viva espania, up to deal or no deal... I could name them all if you wish. The owner said all machines are 80%+ when I spoke to her once, which I would say is right as they play well.

'Oasis' is ok, the rest are crap. Never really busy, so the locals tend to pley them out!

Oh and there's Mega Bowl too... Morrisons and Aldi are sort of built on Frontier land now, but still mainly waste land. Polo tower still remains tho
(markets on other side of road)

The sea front at Blackpool as been regenerated! Yeah the town centre is not what it was in the 80s/90s ,yet it still gives me a real buzz.
Morecambe is v.much a ghost town mate!
I past threw 2 year ago and a skeleton of the Frontier land can just be seen and I think there were 2 mayb 3 arcades-v.sad
Most coastal towns struggle now dont they-And specialy N.East and West-such a shame.
I live by the sea and love the coast-not just for slots

My hotel is near the frontierland site!

still they can take away the attractions but not the beaches and views

It was attached to the Pleasure Beach.. next to Watson Road. But yeah, also forgot the name.

Southport's headed a bit that way too. Mainly beacuse of Pleasure Land.

I think they still sell old postcards? I know I used to have one for some reason. Back in the day when people used to sit under the clock tower, and when people were sat on the cable car ride..

Pretty sure this is the one that sadly closed down, had quite a few classics in there.
