The Steeplechase is a single-rail-triple-racing coaster, built by
Arrow, and was opened by Red Rum, the Grand National winner. His hoof print is located
under a plaque near the station! The ride was inspired by one of the great historical
coasters, The Steeplechase at Steeplechase park, Coney Island, New York, in which the
coaster was the same, only with 5 lanes instead of 3 here at Blackpool. Click the
