  • BLACKPOOL | A walking tour of the new Blackpool Illuminations and the incredible Blackpool Tower light show!
    Also watch our full Blackpool seafront tour - • BLACKPOOL WALK | Black...
    Blackpool Illuminations are on and they are the best EVER! We take a walk on the wild side and head out to see Blackpool at night and have a walk along the promenade and seafront to show you just how great the illuminations are this year!
    In this video we head along the promenade from Central Pier to North Pier, walking past Coral Island, the new Spyglass Bar underneath the new five star hotel, and along past all the amusement arcades, shops selling burgers, drinks, rock and fudge and the hotels and guesthouses that are all open and taking bookings for people wanting to see Blackpool Illuminations 2021.
    I filmed this walking tour in November and it was dark but relatively warm for the time of year and thought it would be fun to see the Blackpool lights but I honestly was not expecting the absolutely incredible and amazing Blackpool Tower light show. WOW - it's just amazing!!
    Blackpool Illuminations are described as the greatest free light show on earth and having seen the lights along the seafront you have to agree - they're incredible
    This year, The Blackpool Tower Projections will run between 3 September and 3 January, and will once again transform the iconic Tower building into a sea of light, colour and sound.
    From festive-filled stories to sci-fi projections that will catapult you to another world, these free-to-watch, digitally-mapped shows are a mesmerising treat for the eyes.
    Look out for the exclusive projection shows during the Lightpool Festival as the charming discovery of Moon Folk unfolds and watch up close as the Tower is brought to life in the magical Tower Light Show.
    The world-famous Blackpool Illuminations have been one of the UK’s most enduring visitor attractions for more than a century. And the seafront show remains as compelling as ever thanks to new investment and innovation each year.
    2021 welcomes the arrival of some spectacular new features and, with this year’s Illuminations extending into Christmas and New Year for the second time in history, it promises to be the most magical of seasons!
    Why not park up your car and explore the Illuminations on foot? Check out all the new illuminated installations on the Tower Festival Headland, as well as the projections on The Blackpool Tower and your tableaux favourites on the Cliffs at North Shore. Wrap up warm, wear comfortable footwear and experience the greatest free light show on Earth. Bag of chips optional!
    NEW Astral Dreams Projection
    Location: Comedy Carpet
    Astral Dreams is a stunning laser-mapped show, transforming The Blackpool Tower into a sea of light, sound and colour with five high-powered lasers that will beam on to the historic frontage.
    The mesmerising projection has been created by Blackpool-born international designer Jack Irving, who is best known for creating wildly theatrical outfits for Lady Gaga. Local producer, George Cornes, has also composed a musical accompaniment to support the impressive laser show.
    Take your place on the Comedy Carpet directly opposite and enjoy the free-to-view spectacle.
    The world-famous Blackpool Illuminations have been switched on for 2021. ... Blackpool Illuminations usually runs for 66 nights every year, however this year organisers have extended the duration of the illuminations, allowing visitors to enjoy the Illuminations over the Christmas and New Year period

      The tower show and your footage and music are amazing, absolutely magical, mesmerising and truly uplifting. Another version with maybe 12.16 - 20.47 could be even more popular, it certainly is my favourite section! How you choreographed the child and parent walking in front of the I♥️BPL sign is just perfect!! 👌

    WOW simply WOW! They have really revamped the Illuminations, right? I like the new lights, gives it a more modern look! The show at the tower is pretty spectacular too! I haven't been to Blackpool in probably six or seven years, and sure looks different. More modern shops etc. I remember them working on it in many areas when I was there the last few times. Looks amazing! I gotta say all the way through I was looking for my favourite thing at Blackpool, and it happened at the very end. An old tram! That tram looked way more full than the new ones going up and down. Made me smile to see that! :) Thanks for bringing me back to one of my favourite places to visit in England! :) Ta Ra

You did well in the presentation, but I'm glad I did not waste money to see that, I remember the 70s in Yarmouth and Skeggy, the only difference is we dint have any money lol, the light shows have all gone down the pan... Thanks for the tour though...

    Thanks for that loved it, so many memories, the quality at the start was superb but something seemed to happen at the 17 min mark and it got very grainy ?

    • @GimbalWalkTV
      @GimbalWalkTV  2 роки тому +2

      Yeah it most definitely did and I'm still kicking myself for it!
      As the tram goes past I switch to an ultrawide lens to squeeze more of the tower in and it worked a treat, but then I manually zoomed with the ultrawide lens which led to it going really rubbish!
      I'm still learning as I go with the new gear - very frustrating but at least I learned a valuable lesson to never do that again!
