Grand National: Europe’s Only Twin-Track Racing Coaster

Rating:

The Grand National is a wooden roller coaster located at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

Europe’s only twin-track racing coaster, the Grand National is built for thrill-seekers with a competitive edge. It’s a race to the finish line as the two racing trains depart the station simultaneously on a track that is a Mobius circle! Aim for fast speeds and exhilarating experiences, particularly when you double dip on the first drop.

On April 19, 2017, the ride received the designation of Grade II listed building.
