and live on Freeview channel 276
The massive white-knuckle ride – one of the tallest swing rides in Europe – will return to the Festival Headland next to Blackpool Tower on Friday, November 18.
At nearly half the height of the Tower, the Star Flyer was a hit with thrill seekers when it opened on the Promenade last year.
