Seaside resort for ‘Bolton holiday people’ blighted by a shooting, dodgy fortune tellers and escaped monkeys
13.02.2022 - 15:23 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
In its heyday Figure of Eight Park drew tourists from across the country to marvel at its rides, illuminations and a 100-tonne stuffed whale known as Eric.
Built during the halcyon days of British seaside tourism, families flocked to the Lancashire coastline to visit the park with its maze of rides and attractions.
But a series of controversies and mishaps would bring about the demise of this Morecambe theme park.

There was a shooting, escaped animals and a bizarre incident in which a homeless man was arrested for wiping his greasy and fish oil stained hands on fairground goers.
With plans for a £125m Eden Project at the resort town this week given the go-ahead, we’re looking back at Morecambe’s tourism history.
Long before a stretch of Morecambe promenade was transformed into a Wild West-themed amusement park, there was Figure of Eight Park.
It’s roots can be traced back to Alderman William George Bean who returned to the United Kingdom in 1897 after giving up on his dream of becoming an advertising salesman on Madison Avenue, in New York, LancsLive reports.
Bean opened two separate amusement parks - one in Great Yarmouth and another in Blackpool.
The park on the south coast soon failed, but Bean's commitment to his project in Blackpool turned out to be a smart move as it would later become the widely successful Blackpool Pleasure Beach we know and love today.
Some records suggest that it was Bean who bought the Figure Eight park, in Morecambe, back in 1909, while some suggest that it was his successor, and son-in-law Leonard Thompson, who bought the park in the 1930s or possibly even the 1940s.
