The 168 foot tall Polo Tower, erected in 1994 and opened in 1995, was a half-million pound investment by then-Frontierland owners Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The design was as a result of a sponsorship deal between Polo and Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Although initially the tower proved popular it soon fell into disuse and a state of disrepair. It is not the best advertisement of the Promenade at Morecambe
