genuinely the most terrifying ride i've ever been on, thought the train would go flying off the tracks and nearly broke my spine. 10/10 would go on again
Glad you enjoyed it 🎢
I’ve never been on the Big One, but would you say it’s scarier than that?
@@sigmarules3967 idk I’ve not been on it but I’ve heard it’s pretty smooth. As long as you ignore the height. This is probably scarier. In my opinion I’m riding the big one for the first time next week and I’m petrified but I love this ride and my mom, who is scared of big coasters, loves this ride
@@jessfidler2356 Alr, lemme know how it goes. Have fun.
@@sigmarules3967 thx
Went on this back in May, a hail shower started just as we left the station and continued all the way through the ride. You don’t know pain until you’ve done Grand National in hail!
TeamSteve Ward I can well imagine 😂
Pleasure Beach Experience you were there on that day too. Think it was early April rather than May. I saw you at the ticket office and was going to try and say hello but by the time I got my tickets you’d gone 🙁. Next time we saw you, you were front row on Icon recording a video with an arm mounted camera or something. I was having my first go on Icon, first of 5 that day, great coaster.
Imagen if your getting to top of Pepsi max big one 😂
Hailey hell 🤭🤣🤣🤣👍
Oh my lord. Its bad enough in fine weather!
convinced it has square wheels
It's not so much the wheels that are the problem it's the current trains that have been on since 2006 are simply far too heavy, it needs lighter trains to be honest.
Artyom Bilinski Trains are probably a bit too heavy, probably needs track/structural work soon (at a guess)
Doug Briglmen yes exactly , it feels heavy . A very heavy roughness . My spine felt out after riding it .
OMG BAHHAHA FR
It is tough bit to be fair its over 90 year old
I can still remember this from 1997. It was delightfully scary, not because of height or speed but the woodiness, rickety feel with inexplicable snatches and lateral jerks. I loved the square wheels with no suspension, and the nostalgic feel of 1930s engineering generally. After that, the Big One felt disappointingly safe. Like going from a Tiger Moth to a 747 First Class. My spine is now fully recovered, my teeth have been replaced and the doctors say I should soon be able to walk ;-)
I almost bit my tongue on the first fast corner. I was laughing like a fool. Modern coasters are fast and clever but these vintage wooden ones give you a full workout and a sense of excitement.
And go on the ride again after I have taken out insurance.
One of Blackpools finest this and the big dipper
My absolute favourite ride at Blackpool ❤
Awesome 👏
Are you ok? I'm actually concerned it is terrible
Rode this for the first time yesterday with a group of 7 other lads. Can genuinely say we all got off and had the same reaction 'How in the heck are we all still alive?'
Can honestly say I was terrified for my life and thought at any moment the lap bar would fly open and I would be ejected into the air at force from the car. Incredible.
Absolutely no chance of the restraints opening midway through
Literally that. Its seriously a frightening experience. Bloody loved it though
phearMyWrath you feard its Wrath
Back pain on the 1st drop could hardly breathe lmao
There is a hump in the first drop that lifts you off your seat a little. After that it is not so thrilling.
i literally greyed out on this drop, was holding onto my gromit for dear life LOL
@@rxdioheadi was the same and the worst thing i was sat right at the front and my bra didn’t have the best support cause u can have a guess what happened after all these drops, never again
My late dad took me on this circa 1972..it didn't have belts or straps then just the bar to hold in front of you. Absolutely scared me to death and whilst it looks old and run down it's awesome....
The signs around the ride just give it more charm. Especially the They're Off sign at the top of the lift. Never ridden it, but I appreciate what it is.
Thank you for watching and commenting
An update to my recent post.went on the grand national yesterday for the first time in over 10 years.I forgot just how rough the ride was😳 The ride is brutal and by the end of the day,I’d rode this 9 times(won 6) but left the park walking like I’d shit myself.
I’m almost 51 now so thinking that maybe a yearly day trip to the pleasure beach is needed.other coasters may have more speed and power but the grand national batters your body and throws you around like a rag doll making you feel like you got your moneys worth.(take the right side carriage when you go on the ride)
When I saw the tracks, I thought they were scaffolding. 100/10, best ride ever
Tastubeverage its good but not even in my top 50 best rollercoasters in the world
My goodness, this certainly brings back memories. My mum and dad took me and my sister to Blackpool every summer holiday when we were kids, and we always went on the Grand National. It was our favourite ride. The Big Dipper was brilliant aswell 😀👍
Thank you for watching and commenting 😀
brianallan our paths would have crossed then as a boy and tenager in the 1970's and 80's
@@timothywait9457 1. How do you know he went in the 70's and 80's?
2. How do you know you two went on the EXACT same day?
The double dip in the first drop slams you down in to your seat and can cause back pain. Still a classic.
It's not a smooth ride these days in fairness
I can vouch for this, my back is killing. Just isn’t fun anymore which is a real shame.
Still in physio a year later
Back never been the same.
that part of the ride is the most intence
@@yourexperienceguide correct
is it weird that i think that the roughness on this coaster makes it fun? it’s one of the few coasters where the roughness actually makes the ride better.
I agree to an extent, but this has got way too rough now.
@@yourexperienceguide Feeling that I might bite my tongue off definitely added some genuine excitement to this.
@@yourexperienceguideAgreed was on last week and thought my head had detached from my body 😅
Nope, my lower back is screwed because of it still 2 years later.
Literally in the queue for this ride cant wait to ride!
It was the worst
@@Ethancoasters LMAOOO 💀😂
After that retrack, it’s probably my favourite woodie in the park. Best air time I’ve ever had
The airtime was there before the retrack tbh
Watching this brought back memories of being on this ride on a school trip to Blackpool in 1977. Can still remember the adrenaline rush and feeling of exhilaration.
Brilliant rollercoaster
The best bit about this rollercoaster is when it stops and the spine smashing torture can finally end.
Thank you for watching and commenting
mmtot do not be silly and do not tell lies
It looks so crusty and urban, yet delightful for those same qualities.
"“There is this theory of the Moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop from which there is no escape." Or just going round & round on the National all day.
Where time becomes a loop, where time becomes a loop, where time becomes a loop, where time becomes a loop
Orbital 2 🌜
As much as I love grand national and Big Dipper they’re defiantly in need of a repaint
Matty iPad I like the old look they have but yeah they haven’t been repainted in ages
Matty Ipad the old look is fine like a fine wine
Pittsburgh has the older mobius coaster like this too
Both so evenly matched
I found Kennywood's to have a weaker layout than the Grand National but was a lot smoother to ride
They are both so similar.
This ride was insane I was flying off the seat omg
Just been to Blackpool pleasure beach and this has got to be the best ride there absolutely fabulous really enjoyed! I went on this 3 times!
Glad you enjoyed it
Still the best RC in the world as far as I am concerned! With all the stabilisers on your camera in the world, it still shows how wonderfully bumpy and rough it is, which makes it all the better! OO and I can see my old school for a sec there!
you do not know pain until you have ridden this!
Nothing wrong with it
@@yourexperienceguide I came off that ride with my back in absolute agony. I am an adrenaline junkie but my back was slightly bruised after
maddywilson its not painful its rough by today's standards and a bit bumpy and intense but it is not painful i was born before it had seatbelts i rembember beeing a teenager in the 80s and the airtime it gave i would ride this and the mouse with girls and we wont talk about what it caused on the mouse
@@maddywilson7865 maddywilson you 90s or 2000 kids are so soft 🤣 when i was a teen in 70s and 80s it did not even have seat belts whilst i love the park now Because of Big one icon Valhalla i wish it had the Atmosphere it did of the 70,s and 80,s
Literally terrifying, i think its ever scareirr than the big one!
You wouldn’t want to go on this with a sore back! This is the most painful roller coaster ride I have ever experienced. Apart from the pain it was actually good fun.
Our group spent an hour re-riding it yesterday
Best ride there
The most terrifying ride I'd been on. My dad had said it was a small ride so I got on, little did I know it was that high. I enjoyed it so much I rode it 4 times in a row! Our side always won though!
Thank you for watching and commenting
grand national is a small ride, the only factor that makes it slightly scary is the 1930s engineering. every second you get a nagging sense that the trains gonna fly off the tracks. its not high at all
Stormil_editzzx its not terrifying i am not trying to sound full of my self even thugh i am 57 but no roller coaster is terrifying to me
Always a great ride, the perception of two tracks racing, but amazingly a single track ride, very clever layout.
1:42 to 1:50 is one of the most intense airtime moments on any uk coaster, if not the best lol
100% agree
I actually enjoyed this ride at first glance I wasn't sure about it cause of my fear of Heights but I gave it a shot when I went to Blackpool and actually really enjoyed it
Thank you for watching and commenting
You can feel the roughness and the pain just by watching. What can be done to save this piece of history? The layout is a classic. Can they re-Track it?
Don’t change a thing.
@@user-yn1bd4yf3h I seriously think people need to stop being so dramatic. I felt no pain whatsoever, and the rough rides and lateral jerks are what make this coaster and the Big Dipper truly special.
@@sigmarules3967 pack it up superman. not all of us managed to get off this one without a splitting headache and several bruises
@@HB-vy5mr Then, rollercoasters aren’t your thing. It’s part of the fun; these things are supposed to whip you around.
@@sigmarules3967 rollercoasters are literally my favourite thing in the world. i can handle most i just dont like feeling like my neck is genuinely about to snap?
It looks awesome! The heaviness kinda adds a charm to it
It's a bit too rough these days
CHEEKY_MONKEY its a fun but intence ride
Great POV. Second to back row on that double down is crazy
Dougie Ohanlon There’s just no way I’ll ride it in the back carriage these days
Pleasure Beach Experience it is a spine shatterer
My 7 year old did back row with his dad, he's made of steal that kid 😂
Went on this the first time a few weeks ago with my fiance and we didnt like it, thrill aspect it was amazing, but we both came off thinking what just happened, my partners neck hurt so much afterwards , love the pleasure beach but this was a one time ride for me, prefer big dipper or nick streak, they're not as rough
Never been on it, (I'm in The States), but that looks fantastically fun!
It is lots of fun! I think it's alot better that the big dipper
It’s fun, but bring a back brace, you’ll need it
Matt Man It’s a bit rough these days but it’s one of our most famous coasters
@@yourexperienceguide Is there as much airtime as there appears to be?
Matt Man the back rows gives some amazing ejector on the back rows but it comes with the cost of really bad pain, theres been times where ive just not bothered going on it due to the pain it causes me. But if you go near the front and not above a wheel its quite an enjoyable experience IMO
Very nice clip . My favourite ride at Pleasure Beach
bobbysimmo Thank you
HOW? IT HURTS SO MUCH!
@@satisfyingfeed4117 its mine as well. It's insane in the back carriage
Christian Moss does it hurt as much? I came off it with a headache and I got dizzy anda a 7 yo loved it (part is of the group I went in) I’m only 9 and feel like my nana 😂
Never been but looks so fun love the nation al been there in 2016 and it was real fun
I went on at a school trip it was terrifyingly amazing
Yay! The right side is the best!!!
British Thrillseeker I filmed a continuous loop but the left track POV was horrendously bad
Rode it last tuesday and was neck and neck with the other train for most of the way round. It wasn’t as painfully neck snapping as i have heard it described, but it got my heart racing
The retracking has made a massive difference
Excellent coaster.....
It's mad how great this still is!
Too rough these days sadly
@@yourexperienceguide ...or have we all gotten soft due to the hi-tech metal ones?
chrislox1 Nah, I like rougher coasters generally but this has got far too rough
I remember going on this in the 70's. My father took me on. I was about 6. We were right in the front seats. I remember the rising panic as the car was pulled up...looking down at the first drop I was sure the car would jump off the rails and I lost it 😢😂❤
Literally just fun to go on, dont feel any fright when going on it just excitement for getting thrown about and feeling buttedlies in your stomach when you get launched down at every slope
Thank you for watching and commenting
There is nothing like laughing your arse off at how rough that first double-drop is among mates in each train, flipping each other off even though you'd never do that anywhere other than on the Grand National, pretending to row with an invisible paddle to gain extra speed as you pass them up the inside and then over-celebrating as you coast past them in the variable braking zone, even though you clearly lost hahaha.
Thank you for watching and commenting
This one makes you feel like youre gonna fall out, getting thrashed around ahahah, 10/10 would ride again
Thank you for watching and commenting
My spine is suffering flashbacks. 2nd favourite Woodie in the UK after Megafobia!
1st time ever on the Grand National the other day and when I was on the Nickelodeon coaster I genuinely thought the Grand National was shut down until my Mrs took me on it. Couldn't believe it!! Thought I had dislocated my shoulder at the end 🤣🤣
Why did you think it was shut down?
@@yourexperienceguide Because from where I was looking it just looked ancient - I've not been since I was 8 so I thought it was getting knocked down. 😂😂
My first time on it was amazing 'w'
Thank you for watching and commenting
Wait? The left side won for once!!!
I was today years old when I realised that the ride starts on the left side and ends on the right. I’ve ridden this 3 times lol!
its quite ridiculous how this ride is still open because i went on this ride and while going down the drops i kept getting lifted up of my seat and my dad had to hold me down horrible
It's airtime, it's nothing out of the ordinary.
FLOPTROPICAN that is airtime
That is called airtime, perfectly normal.
actually really intense
Thank you for watching and commenting
Road it again today at front row and it was relentless and quite smooth!
You have not been on it if you think its smooth
@@Upthetoffees18291 well it’s not painful and it has exciting airtime so...
@@coastersuk1019 ive got bruises on the side of my thigh it is fun but very painful
I love how tacky everything is, from the wonky railing, to the chipped paint job, to the uneven track and slow belt lift, and even the grey gloomy sky contrasting with the crappy terrace houses which become viable as soon as you reach the top of the lift hill. Ah Blackpool, never change
One of the most rickety rides I've ever been on before. I went on it this summer and I got in the back and I got flung upwards whenever it dropped. 1:43 is the worst drop on there. Going in the front of the ride slightly eases the shaking and pulling. But if you go at the back, say bye to your family. Vi
I'm 62 and went on this when I was about 12, having no clue what was about to happen (too naive). It was the only time I ever went on one.....I said never ever again, and stuck to that. My friend and I were also flung upwards whenever it dropped, and our heads bashed together. When we got off my legs were like jelly and I couldn't walk, and my head was pounding. I can't believe this old rickety thing is still going.
Definitely significantly rougher these days, I’ve had a bad neck for a week after riding, shame as I love the ride it’s a real classic
Thank you for watching and commenting
I first went on this ride when I was like 9 and the butterflies I got made me never want to open my eyes
Thanks for watching and commenting
Went on this yesterday and I knew what people have said but wanted to go on it again after so many years because it was my favourite as a young teenager. Safe to say I won’t be going on again. Just isn’t fun anymore. I done my back on the first drop and was more worried about that for the duration. I’ll be sticking to the Big Dipper and co for the wood selection
Thank you for watching and commenting
Yeah every dip after the shock of hurting your back only adds to the torture. Im still hurting 4 weeks later but its not seizing anymore. Not fun.
Wasnt this the only 'Twin Track' ride in Europe at least?..... in the 80s this was a legendary ride
Mobius loop coaster.
@@danielledewitt1 they had another rickety wooden rollercoaster called the 'mousetrap' had little cars shaped like Mice, used to go out over the crowds at points ,proper buzz for kids it was like a gateway drug between a kiddie ride and actual rollercoaster , remember losing my tiny mind on it as a big toddler
@@Gianfranco_69 They had one called wild mouse but they never had one called mousetrap.
@@danielledewitt1 ok ...'wild mouse' then... i was like 8 ... sorry i pressed your button
@@Gianfranco_69 Wild mouse was horrible.
Went yesterday , so scary!
Nearly broke my neck on this the other day, Jesus 😂
I used to ride it a lot as a child, now in my 30s and I don’t remember it being so rough 😂
It’s definitely rougher now
the right side always winss!!!
Corners are tighter and therefore the trains goes around them quicker (most of the time)
People are complaining it's unbearably rough, used to go there in the 90s and it was a fantastic ride, a bit bumpy but very exciting. Sounds like its deteriorated and needs a new track
It has got different trains compared to the 90s and they're very uncomfortable.
HI TERRY. 4 OF US 15 YEAR OLD GIRLS HAD A WEEK IN BLACKPOOL IN 1972,AND WERE NEVER OFF THE GRAND NATIONAL (IN THE DAYS WHEN IT DIDN'T COST A FORTUNE! HAPPY DAYS! NOWADAYS I'M A SCAREDY CAT THO',AND CERTAINLY WOULDN'T EVEN RISK IT,SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN 1935!!!
@@yourexperienceguide i thought they seemd different
@@kristinejames9812 those were the days
Well my friend almost lost her phone and we were laughing the hole way
I also pretended to have asma and they gave me a wrist band and then we got on the rides before anyone else 😂😂
Summer Wrigley Not really funny claiming to have a disability if you don’t have one, can potentially cause someone with an actual disability to have longer wait times or also be seen as faking.
That is an an asshole move pretending you have a medical problem
i went to blackpool with my school last year and my friends wanted to go on this as they saw the carts from under the bridge near the alice in wonderland ride. i am not a huge fan of rollercoasters without my dad, he loves them and i feel most safe going on one with him, but he wasnt there so i had to opt for my best friend. i have never screamed so much on a ride in my entire life. i dont know if i hated or loved the ride because i was in fear of being flung out😅
I went on this on Thursday and it was good
How many drops would you like?
Grand National: *Yes*
Thank you for watching and commenting
It still gives amazing ejector airtime
3rd favourite at the park for me
I am a total wimp with rides but I've been on this a few times and it's so much scarier than it looks at the start, you are constantly coming out of your seat! There is also one with horses that also feel so rickety and you have to hang on for dear life it's truly insane 😂😂😂
Loads of airtime
you do not know the park well then the one with the horses is the Steeplechase and the coming out of your seat is cold
is cold airtime
@@timothywait9457 Years since I've been!
Rode this in the late 50's & 60's. The best ride in the UK. Sadly she's suffering from old age aches and pains. A bit like me !!!
It's definitely a lot rougher these days
Do you know why it's changed from 1.32m to 1.4m height restriction on the website? It might be due to fact of how rough it is but haven't heard of any accidents.
I went 3 days ago and this ride pulverised my spine. Still can’t take deep breaths 😅 as much I love the history of the ride it either needs a major revamp or burning down.
Suggesting that it should be burnt down is a bit silly. A complete overhaul would be excellent.
Yeah this done something to my back too. It was horrible. Never again. I did sit at the back seat though doh
Why people always go on about it being rough is funny. Its supose to be rough, its old. If you cant handle a bit of shaking you best off sticking to the teacups😂
The_MooN_MoNkEy Probably because it used to be enjoyable and not completely unridable
My spine snapped in half during this ride
Same.
It has gotten very rough sadly
Fall Guys Daily Content it did not
@timothy wait He is exaggerating, he means its hurt ;_;
K
Such an awesome coaster. But I went last weekend and its getting too painful to be fun now :(:(
Elliot Brigg Great layout but the trains have resulted in it being a much rougher experience these days.
Even the stability of the Go Pro is being tested to the max on that thing; it’s so rough 😂
Rich S It was a challenge, the GoPro was mounted to my arm so keeping my arm in position was hard work. I filmed continuously but the left track POV was horrendously bad.
Yessss Blackpool
I’ve never been on icon but to me,wooden rollercoasters can’t be beaten.the bumps,rattles,noise and how you leave your seat on the first drop make it so
It's a classic
kenjohnson i love wodden ones to i was born in the 50's were most roller coaster's were wodden
@@timothywait9457 I’m from the early 70’s and I loved cyclone at Frontierland in morecambe.not fast,not high but you would get hit by nearby branches and if it was a quiet day,they would let you ride round 3 times without stopping. .They even put the carriage on backwards.that was amazing!
I’ve now been on icon and I’ll go on it again with my children but it’s not for me really.I’m definitely a woodie😁

Went on this when i was tall enough to ride it,probably mid to late 60s, now im 62 and went on it last year, it's 's a grade 2 listed ride so I hope they can't ever get rid
Thank you for watching and commenting
markplamer they can't its listed i am 57 and go on this ride hundreds of times i grew up here
I was on a ride, and it was going like 50mph fast
this is still a very good ride i am used to its roughness and its much beater then Infusion
Can't really compare it to Infusion
i went on this today and as someone who is terrified of rides i would never go on this again😭 almsot flew out of my seat and passed out i was so scared and refused to go on anything after this i have ptsd😭
It’s impossible to fall out, you experienced airtime
I think a bit of re tracking needs to be done
A lot of re - tracking
It is savage and almost unrideable now.
The whole thing needs a full rebuild.
My back did not enjoy this ride, but everything else did.
It is a very painful coaster these days
is there another double coaster like this? Ive never heard of one. I know its not double, and is in fact a single track with 2 trains on, but running side by side?
This is a mobius loop coaster.
I went on it in 2019 with my cousin, my cousin hated it but i loved it
It can certainly divide opinions
