Grand National (Left) • Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Airtimes Rattle

Then other side is way better.

Layout Rattle Disappointing! Tear it down!

Other than the racing feature, this coaster was a complete & utter nightmare. This is by far the worst roller coaster I have EVER ridden. It was so rough & shaky, & I was convinced I had bruised my butt at the end. & the worst part is, we didn't even win, so therefore the ride was a complete disaster.

Airtimes Fun Intensity Rattle

The rides I had on a middle seat were totally fine - fairly rough, but bearable. Over the axis, it was quite painful, so I recommend staying away from these seats if you don't want it too bumpy. Aside from that, this rather innocent looking coaster has quite some serious airtime moments, especially the small bunny hops taken with high speed fling you out of your seat. This is definetely the most intense woody at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, maybe even the most intense ride of the entire park - a ride with wet rails after light rain was absolutely insane. The duelling and Moebius aspect add to the unique ride experience.

Airtimes Fun Ejectors Rattle

Great wooden coaster with great air time hills and a fun layout. Quite rough so could do with some retracking.

AAAAAAA. This thing is a bit like big dipper, but better. It's a bit rougher but this doesn't detract to the experience what so ever. Racing the other train is epic and you get some pretty good airtime.

Far smoother than expected, loads of fun, definitely a must ride

If they got new trains for this it would probably be one of my favourite coasters in the UK. Such a fun layout with loads of lovely airtime moments. I was on the front row so I didn't get the worst of the roughness, I found the main issue was the trains. Restraints were very uncomfortable and the metal bars next to my legs led to some painful moments. Restraints that give the legs more freedom would massively improve things.

It’s fun but I’ve never ridden a more rough ride (Infusion comes close!). Make sure to keep your mouth closed or you might bite your tongue off!

A rough ride no doubt, but it is a pure ejector machine, a great ride, but wouldn't be mad if it is turned into an RMC

There's no doubt she's very rough, and the PTC trains are awful. But you also can't doubt the crazy airtime, the double down drop which is nuts, and the fact I spent the whole ride laughing. Though I do think that this is pure RMC in the making

Airtimes Pace Discomfort

Was actually proper nervous for this one cause I was aware before going in like most people are that this has a reputation for being very rough. Did it anyway and it was nowhere even close to as bad as I thought it would be. According to my mate who had been on before several times we had an exceptionally smooth ride on it though as when he went with his mate a year ago his mate thought he broke his arm after. Nevertheless, has good airtime, amazing feeling of losing control and a surprising few moments of real good jolt. I must confess to having a rusty memory of this one cause I kinda got scared my heart stopped working at the end cause I couldn`t feel it beating and that wiped most memory I have of this right down the drain. Stupid I know but had me worried for a second. As you can probably tell I emerged from nash with my body still in functioning order and it`s going up there as my no2 woodie.

Underrated, Grand National is the best wooden coaster in bpb and one of the best in Europe!! The first drop delivers a lot of ejector and the fast, unbanked turns give some amazing laterals. The ride hauls through the layout.

Airtimes Rattle

Fine ride, boring layout but with solid airtime in places. Rattles you to the core, though.

Airtimes Layout Rattle Discomfort

Good layout spoilt by a very uncomfortable ride. The airtime hills would be a lot more fun if you weren't hit in the stomach by the lap bar by the car throwing you around.

It isn't as rough as people say. It has some decent double drops and hills. The laterals are also good.

If you sit on a non-wheel seat, you will get a very good ride.

The first time I rode this I could not believe the airtime. The ride also goes on for ages and it never gives up until the brakes. I think the right side just beats the left side. Avoid the wheel seats if you want a more comfortable ride.

The Crash National. Sorry. 20 years ago this was a 4-star attraction. Maybe we're spoiled by 20-years worth of accumulated experience elsewhere but there are coasters of comparable vintage in a far better state than this (Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens for instance, or most of Kennywood).
