Indeed, it's a KMG Afterburner, the travelling fair version basically.

They run unbelievable fast too, I went on the same model in Manchester last year and they put the larger model at Thorpe Park to shame.

I know a certain few Cfers that may be a bit bummed that this weren't there weekend jsut gone. I'm not, just means I will get to ride it next time I am there. (When I can get down from Manchester lol)

Hi Dave et al,

Thanks for the ride update.

Yes, I always seem to remember to try and get down the Shell Grotto too late in the afternoon. (Spend too much time at Dreamland!)

Last Saturday, had it been a little cooler, I would have taken my friends and their two kids down there, but we just fancied staying outside. I think it was the first time this summer that the skies seem to remain sunny until well after 8pm and it was really balmy in the evening.

Just gotta do my letter to Ruth Kelly tonight.
