A wooden wonder which dates from 1935, this is a genuine golden oldie. Two cars set off at the same time for a side-by-side race up and down hills with twists and turns – you don’t need loops for thrills on this.

Of course, it’s themed on the legendary Aintree racecourse steeplechase and it’s a rattlingly good ride (you’re advised to check your fillings after you’ve been on this untamed mustang!).
