Blackpool is THE park here in the UK, its so good- if any of you US-erz are hoping to come over, go in October, its SO quiet, still stays open for hours, but we go every year in October half term, and you literally queue no more than 5mins for Pepsi Max all day long. What a fab park!! There are roumers of the world's tallest and fastest rollercoaster there in about 4 years time. You'r right about the Old School feel, as most of the coasters are wooden, they are SO jumpy and clankety ( good use of language!!!) and throw you out of your seat- you cant beat it!!
