Grand National

Europe's first twin-track racing coaster was constructed in 1935 and remains one of the most popular wooden rollercoaster in the world. Technically it isnt actually a twin track it is actually a Moebius coaster. The two tracks are continuose forming a single circuit or 'Moebius Loop'. There are only three Moebius coasters in the word, these being Racer in Kennywood, Grand National in Pleasure Beach Blackpool, and Montaña Rusa in La Feria Chapultepec Magico.

 

 

Infusion

The latest coaster to be built in the Blackpool Pleasure Beach. This is the only suspended looping coaster completely over water in the world. Five incredible loops and rolls, a looming lake glitters below, a deliciously wicked double line twist and awesome water effects all in one cool suspended looping coaster. Height restriction: 52"/132cm.

Irn-Bru Revolution

is Europe's first looping coaster with a 360-degree vertical loop. The trains pass through the loop twice during the course, once traveling forwards and again traveling backwards. It has a top speed of 45mph and riders pull 4G!!!

Pepsi Max Big One

This coaster is 235ft high and reaches speeds of over 85mph and riders sustain a max of 3.5G. The initial drop is an incredible 205ft! When Blackpool Pleasure Beach constructed the Pepsi Max Big One it was the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in the world, it is now been beaten but is still UK's tallest, fastest roller coaster.

 

 

 

Roller Coaster

This is a wonderful wooden coaster that gives you a velvety smooth ride as it takes you through steep drops, climbs and banked turns.

Space Invader 2

A rollercoaster with a difference! Fly through outer space in near total darkness, pulling 2G on the fast corners.

Steeplechase

This is a unique rollercoaster that is really a very different ride. You sit inline on a hourse shaped car about 1.5 meters above the track with a small lap belt and a handle to hold. It has no sides and you feel very vunerable. It has three tracks to race against your friends. Pleasure Beach Blackpool is proud to have the only Steeplechase coaster in the world.

 

 

Wild Mouse

Not a ride for nervous people! This is a very scarey ride, it seems nice and tame when you look at it but once on it you realise that this is a very fast coaster that drops down incredibly steep slopes, bends so tight that it almost comes off the rails. It is one of only 3 remaining traditional wooden Wild Mouse rides in the world.

Zipper Dipper

This should be your first coaster if you are a little scared. It is in the Beaver Creek area that is designed for children. It has no height restrictions but small children should be acompanied by an adult to provide a little support. It may be too small for some adults.
