Owing to the unstable land on which the park is situated, landslides occur frequently, meaning that attractions have been moved further inland to safer ground on several occasions. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Blackgang_Chine&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Blackgang,_Isle_of_Wight,_UK.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Blackgang%2C_Isle_of_Wight%2C_UK.jpg/220px-Blackgang%2C_Isle_of_Wight%2C_UK.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="164" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Blackgang%2C_Isle_of_Wight%2C_UK.jpg/330px-Blackgang%2C_Isle_of_Wight%2C_UK.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Blackgang%2C_Isle_of_Wight%2C_UK.jpg/440px-Blackgang%2C_Isle_of_Wight%2C_UK.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2040" data-file-height="1524" /></a><figcaption>The site of Blackgang Chine.</figcaption></figure> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238443738">.mw-parser-output .locmap .od{position:absolute}.mw-parser-output .locmap .id{position:absolute;line-height:0}.mw-parser-output .locmap .l0{font-size:0;position:absolute}.mw-parser-output .locmap .pv{line-height:110%;position:absolute;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .locmap .pl{line-height:110%;position:absolute;top:-0.75em;text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .locmap .pr{line-height:110%;position:absolute;top:-0.75em;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .locmap .pv>div{display:inline;padding:1px}.mw-parser-output .locmap .pl>div{display:inline;padding:1px;float:right}.mw-parser-output .locmap .pr>div{display:inline;padding:1px;float:left}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .od,html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .od .pv>div,html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .od .pl>div,html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .od .pr>div{background:#fff!important;color:#000!important}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .locmap{filter:grayscale(0.6)}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data .locmap div{background:transparent!important}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .locmap{filter:grayscale(0.6)}html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .od,html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .od .pv>div,html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .od .pl>div,html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .od .pr>div{background:white!important;color:#000!important}html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data .locmap div{background:transparent!important}}</style><div class="locmap" style="width:230px;float:right;clear:right"><div style="width:230px;padding:0"><div style="position:relative;width:230px"><span class="notpageimage" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Isle_of_Wight_UK_location_map.svg" class="mw-file-description" title="Blackgang Chine is located in Isle of Wight"><img alt="Blackgang Chine is located in Isle of Wight" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Isle_of_Wight_UK_location_map.svg/230px-Isle_of_Wight_UK_location_map.svg.png" decoding="async" width="230" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Isle_of_Wight_UK_location_map.svg/345px-Isle_of_Wight_UK_location_map.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Isle_of_Wight_UK_location_map.svg/460px-Isle_of_Wight_UK_location_map.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1425" data-file-height="868" /></a></span><div class="od notheme" style="top:86.868%;left:52.779%;font-size:91%"><div class="id" style="left:-4px;top:-4px"><span class="notpageimage" typeof="mw:File"><span title="Blackgang Chine"><img alt="Blackgang Chine" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Red_pog.svg/8px-Red_pog.svg.png" decoding="async" width="8" height="8" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Red_pog.svg/12px-Red_pog.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Red_pog.svg/16px-Red_pog.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="64" data-file-height="64" /></span></span></div><div class="pr" style="width:6em;left:5px"><div>Blackgang Chine</div></div></div></div><div style="font-size:91%;padding-top:3px">Blackgang Chine (Isle of Wight)</div></div></div> <p>During Blackgang Chine's early years, the area was a steep gaunt ravine, overlooking <a href="/wiki/Chale_Bay" title="Chale Bay">Chale Bay</a>, stretching around three-quarters of a mile down to the shore.

As the railway network was getting closer and closer to the south coast, the Isle of Wight was becoming an increasingly attractive holiday destination. Alexander Dabell, the founder of the park, soon realised the business potential of this, trying various ventures. In 1839 Alexander became friends with a publican who had recently built a hotel at Blackgang, which now forms the Chine Cafe (formerly Pirates' Pantry restaurant) and administration offices.<sup id="cite_ref-Blackgang_Chine_history_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Blackgang_Chine_history-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After studying the gault and chine gorge, he knew instantly that gardens could be set up that would appeal to the Victorians as a romantic holiday destination. This along with the increasing popularity of the adjacent Sandrock Spring (a <a href="/wiki/Chalybeate" title="Chalybeate">chalybeate</a> spring) led to Alexander concluding a lease for the site in 1842 and the establishment of Blackgang Chine amusement park in 1843. The area was then opened up to the public with pathways built down to the ravine and gardens landscaped on the cliffs. Steps were built to give access to the beach from the lower road. Since the park was opened, it has remained a family business, with the descendants of Alexander Dabell owning it ever since.<sup id="cite_ref-walkersguide_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-walkersguide-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-iowpcclub_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-iowpcclub-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The park's claim to have been established in 1843 would make it the oldest <a href="/wiki/Theme_park" class="mw-redirect" title="Theme park">theme park</a> in the United Kingdom.

This was produced in conjunction with the BBC programme <i><a href="/wiki/Coast_(TV_series)" title="Coast (TV series)">Coast</a></i>, and featured presenter <a href="/wiki/Dick_Strawbridge" title="Dick Strawbridge">Dick Strawbridge</a> in its video exhibits. It told the story of the island's coast and illustrated the cliff falls and erosion that Blackgang suffered over the years. Approximately half of this exhibition was later removed and converted to the new Hall of Mirrors in 2016. The remaining portion includes the park's original 19-metre-long skeleton of a fin whale, and a simulator designed to mimic the experience of the landslips which occurred at Blackgang. </p><p>In 2011, a 'Fairy Land' section was developed adjacent to the Fairy Castle. The following year, the pirate ship play area was redesigned as 'Pirate Cove', with two new pirate ships, and surrounded by other smaller themed buildings, a pirate shooting gallery, and 'The Sailors Return' (now 'The Vortex'), in which visitors walk through a spinning tunnel of lights designed to disorientate. </p><p>'Restricted Area 5' opened in 2014; a modernisation of the park's previous 'Dinosaurland'. It features new animatronic dinosaurs which move and roar when visitors approach. Some of the original fibreglass dinosaurs have been retained in the new walkthrough. </p><p>In 2015, Cowboy Town was remodelled, with new buildings and scenery. A family of animatronic <a href="/wiki/Triceratops" title="Triceratops">Triceratops</a> was also added to Restricted Area 5. This replaced the 'Mouth of Hell', a giant devilish 'mouth' that visitors could climb into. </p><p>In 2016, The Triassic Club attraction was removed, and the area was redeveloped as a new, larger space for 'The Mouth of Hell', which is now encircled by a new walkway themed with fallen angel statues and demonic sounds. </p><p>For the opening of the 2017 'Underwater Kingdom' attraction, the Fantasyland area of the park was completely redeveloped, resulting in the removal of 'The Weather Wizard', 'The Angry Dragon' and 'The Licorice Factory' attractions. The animated 'Smugglers Cave' walkthrough was also removed and a new similar structure was built in its place to form the entrance to the 'Underwater Kingdom'. </p><p>As of 2018 and after 56 years, the Water Gardens are no longer part of the park.
