Grand National Front Seat on-ride HD POV Pleasure Beach, Blackpool

[@dezmondfur6271]

I went on this rollercoaster and it’s a really smooth ride I only got a broken neck and spine rely nice

[@charlottethecat6302]

[@billyrigney4455]

The Grand National has always looked tatty but just think it's 81 years old this year! That must have been some ride back then.

[@isaachalton2828]

Yes! It must have been a great ride and sure still is! But I think they should rebuild it or paint it or something to make it feel better or look better to attract the riders

[@cholden1973]

1934:AAAAHHHHGGGGRRRR 2016:Oh look. We're on a rollercoaster. Nice.

[@billyrigney4455]

Isaac Gamez Could you imagine how many tins of paint it would take to coat this mammoth wooden coaster? lol

[@cholden1973]

+Billy Rigney IKR

[@2britishboyz251]

+Isaac Gamez I don't think they could re-build, because this ride is one of the only left in the world, and BPB want to boast it.

[@thrillville5130]

Honestly, this is one of my favourite roller coasters. Granted, it may be insanely rough, but that's in a wheel seat. In a non wheel seat it actually delivers a great, airtime packed fun ride

[@hainewnumber3963]

Is it smooth in non wheel seats!?

[@stunninglad1]

Brilliant job of keeping the camera steady on this very bumpy ride. Very well captured.

The smoothest ride ever Just a broken jaw

[@largeslappy]

the airtime on this is just [chef’s kiss], i didn’t even mind how rattly it was bc it wasn’t painful or anything. easily my fav at bpb.

[@carriel7219]

This brings back so many great memories when I was a kid. I'd go on one carriage and my dad on the other and it'd be a race - we'd be watching each other's cars the whole way through and cheering every time we took the leed. More than just a rollercoaster experience, really!

[@guysplease6322]

Since they added better seating this ride has become a favourite, I did bruise my knee second time round but atleast my back isn't done in like last year.

[@ewilliams370]

the bit at 1.49 , little jump you come flying out of your seat at that point..... brilliant

[@wgservice]

yeah definite me and my friend went on it last week and she banged her head into my cheek on one of the turns

[@2britishboyz251]

+Graham Service Yeah, happens to me a lot. The first loop seriously hurts my back!

[@2britishboyz251]

+Chaim Goldberg We were never disliking the coasters. We were LITERALLY saying that the old coasters are very rusty and in this case, this roller-coaster is is from the 1930s so it is going to be rough. What's the issue in that?

[@2britishboyz251]

+Chaim Goldberg Probably because you enjoyed the ride so much that you didn't notice.

[@oliviataylor7630]

this is my favourite ride at blackpool. i don't like rides that make my stomach flip over, but this is my absolute favourite. last year, i went on this ride 4 times in a row and i don't even regret it. just to clarify, if you're small & skinny, at the drops you will be lifted out of your seat!!!

[@thomashcullen3253]

Olivia Taylor Hi Olivia.. You deserve a house, for free.

[@mehranmirza1787]

Being small and skinny I agree with the last part, love the feeling of floating as it falls. It's the best ride considering how good it is and how little time you have to queue for because most people are at the big 3/4, and it's 80 years old and still going strong.

[@chezer9236]

Reasons why this is my favourite coaster at Blackpool 1. There are lots of fun drops and the ride lasts fairly long 2. The idea of 2 coasters at the same time makes it more exciting 3. The queue is short and can get on the ride quick 4. Even though it is rough it makes the ride even better

[@MusicLove3000x]

Reece Chesney could not agree more :)

[@BassBanj0]

The roughness of The National and the Dipper make them more fun for whatever reason aha

[@chezer9236]

Update it's now my 3rd favourite ride as this was before I had ridden the Big One and Icon is now my favourite but I still love the nash just as much and it's still my favourite woodie in the UK I've ridden

[@samstrainthings7540]

First true rollercoaster (minus steeplechase). Never really liked coasters and was heavily screaming, but it was fun looking back actually

[@bodsnvimto]

I've ridden over 400 coasters and this is one of my absolute favourites. Admittedly I prefer wood over steel.

[@HAIRYBIKER777]

Great to see this again. I first rode it in 1982. Looks tame compared to the modern rides, but still so much fun.

[@MsBigJohnny]

The under-track roller system enables the cars to lift off the running rails, but the train is perfectly safe and "locked" to the track, so no derailment is possible. The Grand National is one of the best wooden coasters around, fast, rough and out of control. The air-time is brilliant, especially in the front or back seats.

[@danielclarke6784]

this ride is painful when you ride it..

[@jazzx251]

Ride "Wild Mouse" first. Then this ride (and all of the others at Blackpool) will feel like soft duck-feathered pillows!

[@tgm9991]

***** I didn't think wild mouse was that bad.

[@Pander8874]

***** I don't like rollercoasters but I thought the wild mouse would be ok, because it's small. I was wrong.

[@multicolouredsimmer9036]

Someone broke their neck on this ride a couple of days ago and are now left paralysed and on life support.

[@BunnysHammiesAndDogs]

I was like eight or nine, went on this ride and came off crying because it was so painful.. never again will I ride this.

[@cocobass5110]

This is the best woody! Thank you for putting up such a good quality video of it. People complain that it’s a rough ride...isn’t that the thrill of a woody?! Have such a giggle on here, it’s hilariously fun! I think people have been spoilt by the advances in modern coasters and can’t enjoy the Grand national for what it was made for.

[@timothywait9457]

Kimberley Southern it is a great ride lots of good air time

[@mattdeclas]

lost my hat on the first drop of this ride, great beast of a rollercoaster was laughing all the way thru

[@natejohnson5226]

I love the grand national, it was the first roller coaster I ever went on when I was 13

[@kenjohnson1041]

I was 7 when I first went on this.I remember being so scared and that it was my favourite ride after the park closed.40 years on,it's still my favourite.

[@goockgolahh]

Nate Johnson I’m going on with my school and I’m 12 and I’m looking forward to it, do you get airtime? I’m a bit scared of rollercoasters to be honest but I want to be brave

[@kenjohnson1041]

Gachacrystalxox.you do get a tiny bit of airtime on the 1st drop and after that,it's really ok.I was scared when I first went on this ride 40 years ago but I soon got over it,and I'm sure you will too.hope you enjoy the ride. It's also great sitting at the front.

[@natejohnson5226]

@@goockgolahh it's a good ride you will enjoy it, the first drops the worst. Turns your tummy a little but the adrenaline is good =)

[@goockgolahh]

Nate Johnson okay thank you so much I’m really excited

[@onedirection_becca7122]

My first ride in pleasure beech and i loved it!! Its probably the 4th faviroute in the park... I love how the actually carriges come off the track and land back on in the drops! Its feels tht way anyway but would definatly recomened.

[@Steph-wq9it]

Well 25 years ago when I used to ride this rollercoaster, it was thrilling & mental. You had no bars & straps around you for safety, you just hung on for shear life. I said to my daughter on spending most of the day on the newer bigger rides & rollercoasters, ‘let’s go on the Grand National’ for old time sake. I wish I hadn’t, this Is indeed the worst bone shaker ride I have ever been on...I thought I was going to literally die & couldn’t go on any other rides afterwards, I felt as if every bone in my body had been in a high speed car crash. My conclusion is that this ride has been spoilt by being strapped in, which it wasn’t designed for, it’s a rickety old rough ride, so you feel every bit of it. Hence I will never go on it again, but just try & remember the good old days before it was spoilt.

[@SimonHoward-fb6tr]

I know the "Rollercoaster" single track ride was without bar and straps, but never knew the GN was also. This would have been pre 1985 because that was my 1st visit to the Pleasure Beach.

[@Steph-wq9it]

@@SimonHoward-fb6tr Yes it would have been pre 1985. There may have been a bar to hold onto, can’t remember. I wouldn’t chance going on again, I probably would die ⚰️

[@bennickss]

It may be nearly 90 years old and insanely rough, but the fun of racing the other train as well as the great airtime places it as my favourite wooden coaster in the country and my 4th favourite overall!

[@continueswithwings]

I went on this ride with my little brother. When I go on roller coasters, I just uncontrollably laugh. But when the ride slowed after the first set of bumps, I turned to my brother laughing laughing and he was just nervously laughing and looked like this😳 It was hilarious!😂 ❤️Love ya!❤️

[@crooked-halo]

In 1985 during ACE Con this wonderful woodie shocked attendees with it's fantastic ride. Many enthusiasts then put Grand National in their wood top 10s. It's still one of the most underrated woodies in the world. Crazy airtime and races close enough to pass stuff and hold hands. Still in my top 10 having ridden about 150 woodies. Grand National is incredible.

[@riparianlife97701]

This is the world's largest Mobius Strip. You start one one track, and come back on the other. If they let you through the station at the end of the ride, you'd complete both circuits, one after the other.

[@FedericoAOlivieri]

This is not a moebius strip. You could (potentially) ride it upside down and you'd never end up rightside up

[@tommycarr8111]

What the hell are you talking about! This is a möbius loop. It's one of only three left. I have no clue what you're talking about being right side up?

[@FedericoAOlivieri]

upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/M%C3%B6bius_strip.jpg/1024px-M%C3%B6bius_strip.jpg That is a moebius strip. It's a solid with only one face. I you imagine that it were a rollercoaster and follow it along, you'll see that after one lap you'd be at the same spot, but "upside down".

[@tommycarr8111]

Look, I have no clue what you're talking about. A Rollercoaster möbius loop is a racing roller coaster which, unlike other racing coasters, is one contious track. If you leave the left side of the station, you arrive back on the right. You do not go upside down.

[@riparianlife97701]

Tommy Carr Well, I'm the guy who originally posted this, and I'm actually going to side with the dissenter, Federico, on this. The coaster should end up on the bottom of the track at the station if it were a Mobius strip. I'm not going to be a coward and delete my original comment. I can be proven wrong when I'm wrong, and I'll never learn if I assume I'm always right. Kudos, Federico. I still think it's an awesomely unique coaster for coming back to the other side of the station.

[@Sophie-ey7hq]

This coaster was awful, sitting at the back you get alot of airtime, but no time to actually get yourself together again after hitting the seat, rough on the bends as it's quite old i. I recommend sitting in the middle

[@jazzx251]

Whose fault is it for sitting at the back?

[@crkbbbullet1235]

cmon I was 9 when I first went on this ride and I asked the guy is it just went in a circle and he said yes when I got to the top I nearly set myself but when I went down it was so fun it is so not scary

[@oof6745]

its not unsafe

[@twistedcheese1]

ToPcAt it's not the Pepsi Max it's called the big one

[@Molly-io6ib]

Greg Moss it's called the Pepsi Max Big One by the way

[@twistedcheese1]

MSP //Molly actually it is called the big one. and has been just called the big one since 2013. First of all if you read the ride restriction board it clearly just says the big one. Second there is a massive sign at the front of the ride which says the big one not the Pepsi Max. You might be thinking that the coaster goes through a large Pepsi can well that can has been there since the ride opened and since 2013 when the sponsoring stopped the park wouldn't have removed the writing on it because having a blank can would be strange. Also look on coasterforce on ride POV of the big one and read the description it clearly says that sponsorship has dropped. Ask the staff one the ride and they would say that it is called the big one. Also it was NEVER just called the Pepsi Max and if you buy merchandise from the ride (like a hoodie for example) it says in MASSIVE writing the BIG ONE. also not trying to be annoying but don't try to argue with a coaster enthusiast because you won't win😃

[@tsukishimakei6740]

My parents tricked me onto this as a first roller coaster, really smooth, was almost sick and cried but it was very smooth.

[@martinarscott3524]

The only coaster I've been on once and will never repeat, the spinal compression in the 'double downs' is so vicious it caused me horrendous neck pain, I can see now why people getting off the ride in front of us were calling it unsafe....

[@masterknife8423]

I wouldn't call it unsafe just cuz it's rough. It's people like that that were one of the reasons for Wild Mouse's demise

I'm in physio 7 months later after riding it. I dont know what happened but I felt like my head was pushed down really hard on my spine. I broke a rib and had bruising across my side. No back problems previously.

[@martinarscott3524]

@@scotscub76 I'm not surprised, I found out I had a significant neck problem after (but not related to) going on this that needed surgery, the surgeon said I was very lucky not to end up being paralysed....Hope you get yourself back to normal soon. I don't care how many people complain - if you can go on it not knowing you have a spinal problem and risk your lifelong mobility as a result then it should be shut down

@@georgeminers2245 oh gosh, that must of hurt. hope you were okay.

[@kirkschultz29]

I loved this ride

[@SeanCollindridge]

One of the best coasters I've ever been on but I think it's a marmite thing.

[@chaingangsoldier3100]

I remember when I went on this back in 2004 when i was 8 years old. Really enjoyed it, even though I was reluctant to go on at first. It just puzzles me why Foinavon, The Chair and Open Ditch are not marked on the ride, and why Becher's Brook, Valentine's and Canal Turn are? Should've all been marked methinks.

[@f00tballeditz87]

This ride is painful

[@l0wkeytaylor201]

every one does

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

I live in California but from Sheffield, went to University in Bradford, Rode over 100 coasters here in the USA But nothing beats the 'rush' of the Grand National. It's a traditional wooden coaster. Get with it people!!!

Bone breaker simulator

[@raven_ous2585]

I actually , accidentally butted my mates nose, going round a bend on this. It throws you about so much. It's just awesome. That was in the the 70's. Didn't know it was still alive. So glad it is. Not for the faint hearted. I absolutely loved it. Rode it over and over 👊👊😂😂

[@Willbatross_]

Everytime u come up from a hill ur bounced up and down and you can feel ur organs moving about lol. Horrible ride but its a good layout and all

[@martinmcgarvie]

This ride when i went on was so fun

[@braxious]

One of the best rides in Blackpool - the really cool thing is you arrive at a different station to the one you left (this is due to the cross over), and you never know which train will win so every time you ride its different.

[@Hellwyck]

There is only one track and the "cross over" hapens when you leave the station

[@Willbatross_]

The train that finishes on the right always wins

[@damocoaster8451]

Such a classic!

[@AndrewKeyz]

Was on it several decades ago but it's quite outdated and more of a nostalgia trip than a serious rollercoaster these days. Blackpool Pleasure Beach should get Rocky Mountain Construction to update it like what they did with Colossus at Magic Mountain. Update this with inversions and twists and also the Big Dipper and they could really bring some new life into these almost 100 year old coasters and give the entire park back its mojo and wow factor. I'd be the first in line. At least the park is getting iCon I see. Might go just for that.

[@masterknife8423]

Andrew Keyz I don't want it to be RMC'd. If they could change the carriages or do anything else to make it smoother I'd appreciate that a lot more

[@Charlzey1998]

Roughest part of the ride for me is just after the airtime hill on the first drop and the ascent after the first drop which can clearly be seen by the nasty jolt at 1:17

[@deancarter8667]

I first went on this in 1966 and it's hardly changed.

[@thomashcullen3253]

dean carter Hi Dean.. You deserve a house, for free.

[@AmberTheFangirl]

I went on this yesterday, I literally had no idea what the Ride would be like until I rode it for the first time lol

[@amypurslow4305]

I have been on this ride its AWESOMELLY AWESOME

[@laraibk]

Such a fun rollercoaster, really really fast!

[@andreamcnulty2701]

Always loved this ride for as long as I can remember, you always seem to win if you queue on the right side

[@slimeysundayz4073]

Went on this when I was 6... Loved it! Went on this 5 years later.. OK IT's SPEEDED UP! I got a bruise on my Hipp :3

[@TriciaHoward-r3q]

Grand national is my all time fav rollercoaster, let's just say the front seat is the best !!!!!😁😁😁😁

[@nworbyahs4800]

Was right at the back and at one of the bumps I absolutely shattered my back. Got winded and was in bits. They should knock this one down and either recreate it or just make an entire new ride imo.

[@scotscub76]

I agree. Same thing happened to me last week. Im still in pain. Terrifying having to go over the rest of the bumps after being winded and wondering if the next dip is gonna break the spine.
