Wallace & Gromit - Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Our picture shows the 'Three Nicks' - Farmer, Park and Thompson on the Thrill O Matic's opening day at the Pleasure Beach.

Nick Park's famous characters have arrived at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in the new dark ride which takes you down memory lane to re-visit some of the best loved scenes from the TV spectaculars and feature films.  Nick Park was especially delighted to welcome his characters to Blackpool as his childhood home town of Preston is just a short distance away.

We were appointed designers and creative project managers to work between the Pleasure Beach and Aardman Animation to meet the high expectations of both the park and the licensor.

"The obvious design consultant to bring in was Nick Farmer who was a perfect match to work with Nick Park and Aardman Animation" – Nick Thompson, Deputy Managing Director, Pleasure Beach.

"Nick Farmer really understood our IP from the get-go.  He embraced our world fantastically and we couldn’t ask for more!"  - Merlin Crossingham, Wallace & Gromit Creative Director, Aardman Animation
