Light Water Valley is a nice little park in north of Ripon in the Yorkshire reigon of the UK. The park is very clean and the staff are very polite and understanding.
the park entry fee was 15.50 per adult or 55.68 for a family ticket.

we entered the park and headed to the ' Eagles Claw ' a chance morgan revolution 25 ( i think ),its a 24 seater gondola with all seats facing inwards and it swings like something possesed. they pack a huge punch and the negatives and lateral g's are quite high.

after this we headed for 'The Ultimate' the 3rd longest coaster in the world. i have always loved this ride i dont know why it is soooooooooo rough and violent and painful. its also very intence slaloming through the trees after the second drop over bunny hills at 50 mph for nearly a mile . i love it!!!!!!!!

then we headed to one of the only underdround coaster in the world ' The Sewer Rat' a great ride for familys and dark ride lovers. i was quite suprised at how good this ride was seen as it was quite small and compact and its full of surprises.

recently the park added a Pinfari Z47 mad mouse coaster. nothing special just a standard mad mouse coaster. quite boring actually.

after re-rides on The Ultimate and The Eagles Claw we went on a crappy little ride called the octapus the parks newest ride. its like a troika but just closer to the floor and it makes you feel so sick that i manged to bring up a bacon barm that i perchased fot 1 pound which i was quite dissapointed because it was very nicely cooked.

after rides on The Wave (standered viking boat) The Black Widows Web ( enterprise ride ) and the Falls Of Terror (water chute ride) we decided 5 hours was enough at the park and we meandered home through the countyside.

the park is good for familys and is good fun but the park is far from thrill seekers heaven

ratings: rides 6/10

Its a KMG afterburner. AND i agree, its a great ride, they run it really fast dont they. [:D] Thats the good thing about small parks, try Pendulus at Pleasure Island, its a huss frissbee, they spin the car round so fast it feels like a swinging centrifuge. The problem is though alot of people are sick on it.

Ultimates got even rougher since my last ride, but i still love it. Its relentless, its just a shame about the end though. It slows down so much. If a big manufacturer had been bought in to do that ride, it could be something extremely special.

I like the ultimate but I always try to stay away from the front. I mean the back is just the best and its not as Hitty on the Barrie. Also that Eagles Claw is on of the most most sickly rides I have ever ridden!!!
