Revolution, Steel shuttle roller coaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, England.
Revolution features two elevated platforms connected by a central vertical loop, where the train moves forward and backward through the circuit.
Opening in 1979, Revolution marked a milestone as the first fully looping roller coaster in Europe, designed by Arrow Development with Watson Steel fabrication.
The ride underwent various identity changes, including a period as Irn Bru Revolution with orange and blue colors representing the Scottish soft drink brand.
Riders need to climb stairs to reach the loading station, where they board a single train containing four cars with two rows of seats.
Revolution maintains its position as the only non-relocated Arrow Dynamics Launched Loop model still operating, featuring a distinct cantilevered support structure.
