Been on roller coasters all over the world & this was one of the very best. Trip to BPB isn't the same without it. Really rough with two in a mouse much better on your own - superb airtime. After you had ridden it a few times you were able to position yourself in the mouse to take the s bends without getting battered well at least I did anyway lol. Used to come off it in fits of laughter every time. Rode it every year 1983 till the end. Magic.

Can't believe people shit themselves about going on Infusion and the Big One, this is ten times worse than either of those. Taller and twistier does not make for the best rollercoaster, you know you have been on a coaster when you come off the Wild Mouse.

One of my absolute favourite rides, I used to get off battered, bruised and occasionally bloody (that seatbelt mounting point was just in the right place to cut your elbow if your arm hit it as you were thrown around) but it was so intense the wounds didn't matter. Such a tragedy they got rid of it, BPB should build a new Wild Mouse, even more mad than the last one. Anyone feel like starting a petition to get it back?

Dear EastCoasterGeneral, thanks for this upload. I loved riding this special little roller-coaster, those incredibly sharp 90 and 180 turns made possible by the small cart and narrow track made it so unique and fun to ride despite the rides relatively short height and track length in comparison to more modern steel coasters. There never was a more aptly named coaster, I miss it.

I went on this ride in 1976. I thought then it was only a matter of time before one of the cars jumps the tracks and kills every one inside. Yet here we are 40 years later!

This was one of my many favourites Rides, what a cool little Wild Mouse it was.

Magnificent ride.

this ride is awesome and really fun my bff and I went to it today just a heads up THIS RIDE IS BRUTAL

Quite simply the greatest rollercoaster ever. You can ride on all the computer programmed, imagine intensified rides anywhere in the world, you can be inverted 14 times, you can be shot out at speeds of up to 100mph you can be fired 100s of feet into the air, but the basic fact is...if you’ve never ridden the Wild Mouse at Blackpool Pleasure Beach then you’ll never understand the meaning of what it’s like to ride a real roller coaster...

Went on this in the early years, and was traumatised! Years later I was taking my ten year old daughter and her friend around the park. I said "Yeah, sure" to this innocuous looking little ride and only after they'd set off did I realise it was the Mouse. They loved it. Couldn't believe that I'd let them go on it.

As a local (living just 1 mile from the PB) this is my all time favourite coaster. I've ridden the Big one 32 times... it's a great coaster, but the Wild Mouse is the only one that actually gives me a sense of fear. I've been on it a dozen or so times... yet there are still times I contemplate going on, only to back down cos i just have a "bad feeling" about going on it that day. I've been on some insane coasters round the world... but all of them have a sense of control. The Wild Mouse is just the most borderline coasters out there. I've been on that thing and had it flip sideways on two wheels while doing the 6th turn... genuinely thought the cart was gonna just roll... I've known plenty of people that come off it and can't comprehend how a coaster like that can be safe to operate. If you want someone elses experience the following is a great summation if you're not sure what to expect before getting in the queue for the wild mouse! Found on trip advisor - "Booking on line was very easy. Great customer service. HOWEVER....the whole day was ruined after going on the first ride of the day.....THE WILD MOUSE. I can't believe i queued up to be battered by a ride. I literally was thrown about in the cart. My head was thrashed back causing severe whiplash. Why is this ride still open???? Im in so much pain and cannot move as i write this reveiw. My sons birthday was spoilt. I will definetely not be returning to the park as i cannot trust the other rides as it still has the wild mouse still open....they should rename it 'the death trap'. Who certifies these rides??"

I don't count myself as a traditionalist, I'm the first to say woodies are boring, but the 2 times I went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach over the years this was the one I always remember as being the most awesome, those sudden turns are just so impossible it almost feels like you leave the rails for a split second, will remain in my memory as just awesome. By comparison, my memory of The Big One was like a great view at the top and a good first drop, but that's all, it just paled into insignificance after that

I love this ride😍😍

At 56 yrs old was my favorite ride at pleasure Beach. So glad I got a last ride before closing.

This brings back nightmares of thinking I'm gonna fly right off the corner into the stand. Loved it tho I couldn't stop going back on and on:)

This ride is brutal. I'm heading off to Blackpool in about 4 hours, and I think I'll go on this one last so I can get straight in the ambulance after wards. Still got a few bruises from when I last went on it, and that was 15 years ago!

i came here like 2 weeks ago and this was my favourite ride! it didnt hurt and is a good coaster for people that WANT TO GO ON A CCOASTER BUT NOT A HUGE ONE

I remember going on the wild mouse, they set it off before we'd fastened our seat belts. Those 90 degree bends were insane. No seat belt, I sincerely thought I wasn't going to get off alive!

This ride killed me its so painful

Went on this ride years ago. Really hurt myself and am certain it triggered my gall stones to moved and makes me super poorly. Glad it gone xx
