    That was an ace coaster. It wasn’t rubbish though. The drops were massive in their day, and the twisty bits were incredibly forceful and deliciously violent.

    Until they redesigned the restraints to be a lap restraint, people used to get off with ear studs embedded in their necks from the impact with the over shoulder restraints. After the mod you were tossed around like a rodeo bull instead. Great fun. I'm so sad my daughter, who loves roller coasters, never got the chance to ride it before it was shut down. We only live a few miles away too, and would have made it there one day.

    Here for Norton's OF.
    In Vancouver we have a wooden rollercoaster that was built in 1958. It just has a lap bar to hold you in and hits almost 80 km/h, I almost fell out once when I was 10. It still runs but it gets shut down for maintenance.

  • @bionicnichola9251
    @bionicnichola9251 Год назад +5

    My childhood school trips were are Lightwater Valley and we loved it. I can remember when the Ultimate was built some years later but I also remember the 'Rat' ride vanished and I think part of that became the Ultimate. The Rat ride was if you were walking into a sewer in pitch black with little lighting with red glowing eyes everywhere. That was all wooden inside including the roller-coaster. I may be wrong but it's possible. I enjoyed many happy days there with friends. Nice to see you guys having a look about it ! 👏

      @OurTown 11 месяцев назад +1

      Hi. The Rat never became part of the Ultimate and they were operational at the same time, As the other person mentioned it became Raptor attack, at which point it had been operational along with the Ultimate for many years. Both now sadly gone - The Rat was however positioned right by the Ultimate entrance.

    Fond memories of lightwater Valley from before it was a theme park with rides like the rat and the ultimate! It had bmx bikes and 50cc motorcycles and the death slide that was just a massive wood slide that had a 90° drop and a tunnel you had to climb up to use the slide. And the first time I ever went you had to pay for each ride! Then go strawberry picking afterwards then spew up on the way home in the car! Lightwater Valley was shit but it was our shit!

    So at the point around 12.30 you asked what is that. There were certain points on the flats of this ride where the train would often slow to a stop. There were winch points along these areas where a rope or chain could be attached to the train to get it moving again. That's why there's a sign saying 'if the car stops please stay in your seat'
