About 30 people were left stuck on top of the wooden, twin-track Grand National ride after it broke down at midday on Tuesday. "Stuck on a ride with two children in this weather and all we get is a bottle of water." A spokesman for Blackpool Pleasure Beach said: "At 11.55 am on Tuesday June 1 a stoppage occurred on the lift hill of the Grand National. "All riders were safely escorted down the lift hill, and the ride was checked and re-opened just before 1pm.
