I'm guessing that the hydraulic launch will be replaced by LSMs probably.

Well this was unexpected!

It certainly does! It's basically the same as Highlander, just taller.

Anyone brave enough to try it?

BUMP!

Ice Breaker has been completing full circuit tests!!

It's now been officially confirmed that Ulty will be staying at the park for now but will remain closed for the 2021 season. I really do hope they open it again before it closes for good, although considering it will've been SBNO for two years I doubt that will happen.

We now have a statement from the park: In 2021 Lightwater Valley is set to adapt its offer to visitors. The Park has plans to broaden its appeal for younger families, and as a result a series of new rides, attractions and experiences will be designed specifically for the under 10s. “We believe this ...

^ Coronavirus (since the end of 2019 to be precise) has disheartened us for over a year too... :*( They've removed some of the most popular rides in the park, so a lot of of people won't visit anymore. Raptor Attack was a Schwarzkopf Wildcat, and the fact it was enclosed in a dark building and you ...

^ Is it just me or that red tower is a tad or too thin for a (giant) drop? It looks to me stylish at least though. ;*) It's probably just the concept art. I'd expect the drop tower to be the same model as Highlander at Hansa Park, and the slingshot will almost definitely be the new-gen model that u...

Ground has just been broken on the construction site of the two newest ICON Park attractions! They are a slingshot suspended from two 300 foot towers that will fling riders 450 feet in the air, and a 430 foot drop tower that will have seats that tilt 30 degrees. Both attractions are expected to open...

Well, this is disheartening. Lightwater Valley have decided to remove all their thrill rides and become more family-orientated. Raptor Attack, Eagles Claw, Apollo and Black Pearl have all been taken off the website. The fate of The Ultimate is not currently known, and it is still marked as "clo...

It's testing again!
