Beaver Creek was a children's amusement park inside Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It closed on 5 September 2010 when Managing Director Amanda Thompson announced that it would be working with Nickelodeon to bring the new Nickelodeon Land. Nickelodeon Land opened in Beaver Creek's place on 5 May 2011.[citation needed]
Many of the rides have either been re-themed and put back into place, or moved into a different part of the park and later renamed. For example, Thor's Turnpike was moved to a different place in the park and renamed Alpine Rallye, same with Veteran Carousel, which is now known as Thompson's Carousel.
