    Good luck getting on SkyTrak lol. When I went it was down all day and from what I could work out it seems there is a height limit. Combine this with it only having a single train with a single seat that is probably the most difficult coaster credit to obtain in the UK (and no I don't have it)

    I remember going to Go Kidz Go with my school one time, however the SkyTrak wasn't allowed to be ridden, if I remember correctly which I probably can't since it was a long time ago. They said it is unable to be ridden currently, nothing was mentioned about being too tall. I guess it was just closed on that day.

But I’m so glad that good old Great Yarmouth is on this list and it’s good that it’s getting some recognition. Go get some rock from the rock shop while your there.

    Green Dragon at Greenwood Forest Park in Gwynedd, Wales could be on this list. It's a very unique coaster - before you ride, you walk up a hill and enter a carriage which uses the weight of the riders to pull the train up to the station at the top of the hill. You then walk up the hill again to the station and board the train. The ride actually generates more electricity than it uses.

    I swear that bloody twister one has genuinely given me a headache 🥴🤮🤮.
    As did Antelope I ran over to get on it just as it shut when we took our daughter Sarah ..... she’s 27 now so it’s been a while , that has another I’ll never get on 🙄.
    Great video boys 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
