23/04/1993 – Prime Minister visits park

After flying in to British Aerospace at Warton, the Prime Minister visited the Pleasure Beach earlier today. He was greeted by Geoffrey Thompson who was on hand to show off a scale model of Project 94, the world’s tallest and fastest roller coaster that will open next season.

Elsewhere in town, the Prime Minister opened the new £1.1m National Artificial Eye Centre at Bispham, where he spoke movingly about how his father Tom nearly lost his sight.
