Hi,

There's a photo of the front of the ride in my group of photos from visiting on opening day this year, you can't see much of the track though.

Here`s a brief description of it.

It`s a travelling ride, based on an articulated lorry. The train itsself is powered and makes a small climb as it leaves the station, and turns to the right. It then turns right again, and drops around a spiral loop, passing under the track through a very short tunnel made of pvc sheet. It then turns twice more to the right before coming back into the station.

The track is short- around 150 feet at a guess and the train takes around 30 seconds to negotiate it. The train does around four or five circuits per ride.

I didn`t bother with it, but Charlie and Sam had a couple of goes and their verdict was "Not as good as the Scenic Railway"


Will not be around this weekend but will be spending the afternoon there on sunday week, so maybe see some of you then.
