  • Join us as we visit Lightwater Valley Theme Park located in Ripon, North Yorkshire for the first time this season. We share on ride footage from all of the major rides at the park including The Ultimate, Raptor Attack and Eagles Claw. We also talk about the new ownership of the park along with checking out the many different changes across Lightwater Valley for the 2018 season.

    Was the Staveley's who owned the land since least the very early 1500s, went through the English Reformation (when Fountains Abbey was dissolutioned) the reformation started in 1527, was given the land to John Staveley in 1516 I think.

    I must say The Ultimate reminds me a bit of The Beast at Kings Island. I hope to someday come to the UK and go to some of the unique theme parks there.

    John Staveley before the ultimate was opened for the public, he used ropes to test out The Ultimate lol, before it'd been issued with legal restraints/belts

    Looks like there’s some interesting changes coming to the theme park. Fingers crossed the new management will bring some positive changes, because the place looks like it needs it.

      It really does. It was tired 10 years ago and we only went back last year as we have a seasonal caravan pitch near Ripon, so we took our 2.5yr old. Found lots of new kiddie rides and 4 different play parks - so its ideal for her. We've took out season passes this year, but its really just for the bairn as there's barely any rides for adults. Flamingo Land is head and shoulders better really.

    Remember parts of the park but haven't been in many years since I was around 13 and now 28 shows how much the park has changed. The Ultimate is a brilliant coaster as I went on it years ago and it was amazing. Nice to see a little train in the park.

    At 30:30 you can see what was the Mary Rose that used to be at dreamland Margate, I didn't realise this till I saw this video, I thought the ride had be dismantled forever, good to see it still going, had fond memories when it was at dreamland (Bembom Brothers)

    True story! When I went to Thorpe park the first few times when I was younger (between the ages of 15 and 19) I forgot to take spare clothes with me and had to use spinning rides to try and dry me out before travelling home. One time I was so cold I put my hoodie on (which was dry I will add) without a tshirt underneath as I was FREEZING! Last summer I went and initially planned to not ride tidal wave (August bank holiday weekend) so didn't take spare clothes with me.......caved in at around 2pm and decided I was going to ride it, luckily it was warm so I soon dried out, took my socks off though and tied them to my rucksack.......didn't spot the boat coming down as I was going across to the photo point result SOAKED SOCKS. Flip flops and socks are a must for me now

    Another Great day out for us arm chair coasters, hard to get to lots of these places living in Cornwall so really pleased to hear your coming down to our home county Cornwall! Flambards is a lovely place the indoor Victorian village and Britain in the Blitz are really magical, so give yourselves enough time to do it all as well as the rides. There are a few other tourist attractions in Cornwall and Devon that have small coasters to add to your credits!
    In Cornwall you have Camel Creek, and in Devon you have Crealy Devon and The Milky Way you can see them all if you head down on the A30 and back up on the A39.
    Sorry this comments has got a bit carried away, just excited to see your heading this way :)

    I remember a time I went there to watch the fireworks on my way back home I went to a fish n chip shop I got a sausage and I lost it in my mums car it was found about a year later so whenever I go to light water valley I will always remember what I call “the sausage incident eaten or alive”

    They should advertise this place more. I had never even heard of the Ultimate until I saw the older vlogs

    • @LordMcdaddy
      @LordMcdaddy 6 лет назад +1

      MaskofMystery they spent A LOT of money last year with advertising and didn’t really make that money back so this year they’re cutting down on special events (except for the Halloween event) and focusing more on the experience you get when coming here.

    • @petertr2000
      @petertr2000 6 лет назад +1

      They used to take out TV advertising years ago - They had their own version of "peace in the valley" recorded for it ! The Ultimate was advertised VERY heavily at the time of launch. Its VERY old now though. And on its last legs according to one member of staff I was talking to the other day

    So many amazing memories there back in the 90’s as a kid! During training to be a fireman my dad had to climb the track on Raptor Attack (known as The Sewer Rat back then)
    Really hope to see some changes in the future but I don’t think we’ll ever see the LWV charm back again 😢

    Made my annual trip to the park yesterday and was fairly quiet considering it was a bank holiday - managed to do every ride by 1:30. The ultimate felt very rough (more than usual) but still think it’s one of the UKs best. Only slight issue I faced was The Eagles claw restraints not fitting on down on my shoulders in the afternoon despite riding it twice in the morning. Perhaps the member of staff wasn’t as strong then haha! Good fun for half a day, when quiet definitely not a full day park in my opinion!

    I must admit Lightwater Valley could do with 2 or 3 new rollercoasters mate and I don’t know if you remember there was a twin looper called Supa Lupa and that was one the first coasters I ever went on at the young age of 5 and now that ride is in Poland I believe.

      I'm racking my brain, but can't remember that one. The name rings a bell though.
