This is the ride which previously operated at Pleasureland Southport in the 80's. It had been leased from Henk Bembom by a park in Rome for the last few years but has now been brought back to Britain.
A similar, more well known model also operated at Dreamland in Margate before moving to Loudoun in the late 90's. It is now operating at a park in Hungary.
Parkware Ltd, Bembom's company which owns Loudoun Castle, has put a looping coaster up for sale. If there is any interest, they will then have to decide whether to sell this ride or the smaller Silverarrow which has operated at Loudoun as Twist and Shout since 2003.
Fingers crossed... this old favourite could potentially be operating again next year! If not… well at least we’ve still got Twist and Shout!
