The Grand National weekend is 13th and 14th April this year, but you can ‘ride’ the grand National every day here in Blackpool.
It is themed and named after the Grand National; with elements of the ride signposted to mimic features of the horse race. The trains climb the lift-hill and pass under the ‘They’re Off’ sign and race through ‘Becher’s Brook’, ‘Valentine’s’ and ‘Canal Turn’ before returning to the ‘Winning Post’. The ride stands at 62 feet high and has a track length of 3302 feet (6604 in total)
