Steeplechase is a tri-tracked steel racing steeplechase roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Resort (better known as Blackpool Pleasure Beach) in Blackpool, England.^[1]

It is a custom design built by Arrow Dynamics, and it cost £813,000. The ride opened in 1977 in a ceremony highlighted by Grand National winner Red Rum,^[2] whose hoof print was also taken and is on display near the ride's exit. It is the only operating steeplechase roller coaster left in the world.^{[citation needed]}
