Rollercoaster is a wooden roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Blackpool in Blackpool, England. It was built in 1933 by Charles Paige.
The Rollercoaster uses the lift hill of the former Velvet Coaster[1], which was removed in 1932. A train from the Velvet Coaster can be seen to the side in the Rollercoaster station.
The Rollercoaster has 3 cars per train, seating 8 people per car - accommodating for 24 people per train. Before 2006, the trains had no restraints, however seat belts have since been fitted.
New trains from the Big Dipper have been re-painted and refurbished and are to be put onto the Rollercoaster in May of this year. Lap Bars have been added for safety.
