The best wooden rollercoaster (pre-1970) is the Grand National at Blackpool. This is a racing coaster (2 trains race, duh!) but was not built as two separate tracks. It's whats known as a mobius loop; one piece of continuous track with two stations side by side (if you depart from the left side station you return into the right side). Clear? Me neither, it's like that painting with the staircases that go nowhere which gives me a headache trying to work it out. The Grand National station is an art deco masterpice and has recently been refurbished back to its glory following a fire. Look how stunning it is. And at night too. Brand new trains and a computerised operating system were fitted during the refurb but this has resulted in this sometimes happening. I miss racing into the station watching the guy on the platform pulling back on the huge brake-lever trying to stop us hurtling into another train in the station which was still loading its passengers. I rode the 'Nash' a few times during my last trip to Blackpool and I can report that the computers made no difference to my ride and that the new trains are much more comfortable than the old ones (I was merely left 'bruised' after riding rather than 'severely bruised' as in the past).
