“Take a frightening fairground ride through a maze of darkened tunnels inhabited by incredible live ‘ghosts’, creepy animatronics, spectacular magic illusions and moving stage sets!”

Following several earlier homes around the world, Carnesky’s Ghost Train is now permanently located in it’s true spiritual home in the heartland of the British seaside – Blackpool, situated opposite Sandcastle Waterpark on South Promenade.

Created by award winning theatre producer Marisa Carnesky, the Ghost Train is part ride, part visual theatre and part scare attraction which cleverly combines contemporary attraction technology with age old theatrical illusions.

Paul’s first big break came at the age of 16 in January 1984 when he was asked to double in for Sade’s hands on the video of her first single Your Love is King. The video led directly to an appearance on Blue Peter where he performed with presenter Janet Ellis. In the BBC bar afterwards he met Janet’s partner, Robin Bexter, who helped him a secure a guest spot on the Thames Television’s series Illusions. So Sade and the Ellis- Bextor’s were instrumental in the start of Paul’s Career!
