    Guests visiting the park between now and the end of the season will be able to ride the wooden coaster for the first time since the end of 2024.

    Its extensive maintenance work involved replacing sections of the track, installing a new drive sprocket, replacing parts of the pull up chain, and painting sections of the ride.

    Amanda Thompson OBE, CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort, said: “The Grand National has always held a special place in the hearts of our guests, and we're proud to preserve its legacy while continuing to deliver unforgettable experiences for generations to come.”

    The park is now open every day until September, and then some weekends and week days until November.
