Steeplechase (Pleasure Beach Blackpool)
The Steeplechase is a three tracked racing roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Blackpool in Blackpool, England. It was opened in 1977. It was a custom design and made by Arrow Dynamics. The ride was officially opened by Grand National winner Red Rum whose hoof print was also taken and is on display near the rides exit. This is the only operating steeplechase style roller coaster left in the world. The riders sit upon a horse shaped vehicle which can seat one or two people in line. Although not a high or fast coaster, riders often state that it is a lot more intense than it looks.
The ride has two chain lift hills and the track winds around part of the Big Dipper and underneath part of the Rollercoaster. The station is located near the Pepsi Max Big One in the south of the park.
