The ride is named after a famous horse race, and signs around the track bear the names of major jumps in the course.
There are two parallel tracks, but it is actually one continous loop. A crossover near the station makes this a mobius coaster.
Grand national is a wooden racing coaster.
It features a few small dips, and a tunnel through the Space Invader building.
Zipper Dipper is the smallest coaster in the park, a family wooden coaster.
Like all wooden wild mouses, the cars don't have upstop or side friction wheels. Instead, a greased peg running between the central rails keeps the cars on track.
Heading up the lift.
The layout is a bit different on this one compared to the standard wooden mouse, the ride starts off with a big drop and horseshoe turn, with the switchbacks only coming later in the ride.
Each of the 'mice' cars have their own name.
A wooden wild mouse at Dreamworld? Something is wrong here...
The Wild Mouse is another historical gem at Blackpool. It is currently the only wooden wild mouse operating outside of Australia.
A few interesting things to see here:
-The train has a nose cone at the rear because it goes backwards.
-The large metal block that launches the train.
-The lack of saftey gates in the crowded station.
The loop features some fantastic old school intensity.
Its a bit of a hike up to the elevated station. Like a few rides at Blackpool, it is named after a drink.
Irun Bru Revolution is another theme park rarity these days...The Arrow Dynamics Launched Loop, where trains are launched over a drop with an intense moment of airtime, through a loop, up a hill to a flat section of track, where a second launch sends them back through it all.
An overall view of Infusion, surronded by other attractions.
You can't deny there are a lot of fountains on this one.
The final two inversions; The inline twists.
The helix.
The sidewinder features an odd ski jump type thing with water running down it.
