IN MEMORIAM... Wild Mouse, Blackpool

Height 50ft Speed 35mph Length 1,266ft

Not particularly fast, not particular high but... What. A. Ride.

It closed three years ago and is a sorely missed 1958 old-school wooden tub-thumper, where part of the ‘fun’ was wondering whether the carriages would actually stay on the track round the sharp bends or whether your head would hit the wooden supports.

RIP Wild Mouse, a brilliantly evil, exhilarating, completely mental ride.
