- A short film with dubbed sound showing the Grand National Roller Coaster ride at Blackpool Beach in about 1975. This is edited from a short by Mountain Films.
Remarkably steady on ride footage for 1975. Awesome clip ❤
The days when The Grand National ran without restraints. Amazing to think these days existed!
Ye people more tough them days
My Mum took me on the Big Dipper at 6months old been going on every since at 64..
Great to see, That's the grand national I remember, used to love it, holding on for life and bouncing out of the seat, proper thrill, they've ruined it now with these restraint things that keep you pinned in and kill your legs 🙄
Look at that, no restraints. The airtime is mad enough with the tight ratcheting lap bars it has now, I can’t imagine it with NONE
Wow great footage . My favourite ride
Such amazing footage, all my most amazing memories come flooding back. Thanks!
5:40. look how they get off and it hasnt even stopped yet. How times have changed.
Imagine the airtime with no restraints
Yes I remember the airtime was awesome with only the handrail to grab onto 😂
Everything is colourful
The lift hill sounds like the Pepsi max big one
It is haha
The audio comes from a pov from the big one.
seems a lot smoother than now - wonder if its down to the trains
Why has this got big ones lift hill noises with the anti-rollback where national is going up the lift 😂
GRAND NATIONAL with Big One overdub 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Hey, I did that dub myself...surely you can't tell?
@@maxustaxus Great video! Don't get me wrong 👍🏼 but yep the famous and relentless TICK TICK TICK of the Big One's chain lift is instantly recognisable 🙃👌🏼
Thanks for sharing the classic footage!
If The Fire Didn't Happen, This Would Be A Great Ride As It's Not Really That Bumpy!
I was riding the Grand National then ! The pleasure beech full!! Now In the snow flake geration non of us fell out of the trains!!!
I wanna apologies for bwing part of the snowflake generation, it would be better if they removed the restraints then you would get more air time, and if you do fall out the ride then you can have a wet paper towel, simple
@@BeinZilex think people fell out when stood up or pissed.
A totally different ride from the sanitised nonsense it became. Ruined by the lap bars. Glad I rode these things back in the day. As a kid I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I went there
It's still very brutal won't ride it anymore it's got worst in last 6 years.
didnt they con struct a one in canada a few years ago
Superb, and now spoilt because H+S decide that after over half a century of trouble free riding, we now need thigh breaking restraints because it's suddenly dangerous!!
I’m a 12 year old kid and the Lapbar is my whole hand from my thigh!
When did they start making it have to run with restraints? Roller Coaster/Nickelodeon Streak ran with no restraints until 2006
Only coaster where driving there is safer than riding it
No lap bars, no seat belts. Just a grab rail and your feet placed firmly on the carriage floor. And see? No-one fell out! Oh, how we used to live before H&S ran amok. Surprised riders aren't forced into bubble wrap suits as well these days. Jeez!
