The Grand National is one of the world’s oldest wooden rollercoasters and with it’s double track, it makes it quite unique.
The clatter of the tracks and the wind on the face makes it a special memory, racing side by side - it’s no wonder people come from all over the world to ride it.
These pictures remember it through the years.
