This week on Theme Park Trader, we’re stepping back in time to explore the UK’s oldest theme park — Blackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight. Opened all the way back in 1843, it’s a park steeped in history, charm, and more than a few quirks.

From its famous cliffside views to the mix of nostalgic attractions, dinosaurs, and family-friendly experiences, Blackgang Chine has been delighting visitors for generations. We’ll be sharing our thoughts on the park, its unique atmosphere, and how it compares to the bigger names in the UK and beyond.

Join us as we uncover what makes Britain’s very first theme park such a fascinating piece of theme park history.
