More about Blackgang Chine
Blackgang Chine, located on the south coast of the Isle of Wight, offers a mix of attractions, themed worlds and rides.
The park will re-open in March 2017 with the new Underwater Kingdom expected to open sometime in the spring.
Blackgang Chine is thought to be one of the oldest theme parks in the country. In 1800, the area of Blackgang Chine was a ravine situated 500 feet above the sea overlooking Chale Bay.
In 1839 a man named Alexander Dabell started plans for the park after studying the area and realising he could develop gardens there. He later developed it into a park of curiosity for visitors.
