Park Information Situated at the end of a 1,772ft long pier is a small, yet thrilling, funfair suitable for all ages. Some rides have been there since the 1920's, and the pier attracts more than two million visitors a year. Rides are paid for by tokens, which cost 50p each. The pier is open 364 days a year (closed Christmas Day), although some rides may be closed due to weather conditions.
Aside from the rides, there are plenty of food outlets, including a restaurant, as well as tonnes of arcade machines. There's even a dedicated kids' area full of small rides for the little ones!The end of the pier caught fire in 2003, which meant some rides had to be closed down or removed. The pier was quickly restored to its former glory and has a bright future ahead.
Not every ride on Brighton Pier has been featured on Coaster Force.

I enjoyed my time on the Pier. The rides are excellent value of money and it has a good old fashioned seaside feel to it; non of this corporate feeling. Local car parking is quite expensive and restrictive, but the Pier is a must visit if you're ever on the south coast.

Overpriced and strangely run, makes you feel like you're in a pikeys funfair.the hall inside is purely to get kids/adults gambiling with fruit machines and coin games.say its traditional, but its old and nasty.

Living in Brighton I have grown up with the pier. If you're in Brighton, it's a must visit.PS. It used to be called Palace Pier before it's 101st birthday, then it changed to Brighton Pier.
