The Roller Coaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach was originally constructed in 1909 by William Strickler, one of the coaster building legends, and was called the Velvet coaster, after the velvet seating the coaster boasted. It was reconstructed in 1933 by Charlie Paige & Josesph Emberton (also famed for his architecture, some of which is also at the Pleasure Beach), and has remained the same since. It is one of a few coasters which have no safety restraints even today.
