I went on Saturday and because it was raining before we went, the weather put people off, there was no queues at all. I went on Eagles Claw 7 times, Whirlwind 4 times, The Ultimate 2 times and got straight on all the other big rides once. I had a fabulous day and that day I cured my fear of heights. Theme Park Worldwide inspired me to love roller coasters!!!
Shawn: Left message on your channel page. Great bumping into you guys! (Ta for catching me @44:38 ;). High praise indeed for Whirlwind, they really cranked up the program mid afternoon leaving me with a proper neckache... in a good way :) Hope you're wrong about the parks' future; I'd definitely go back for the short queues more than anything (agreed, Ultimate is a classic, despite feeling very rough initially). All in all a memorable trip for me, cheers fella! [Downer: Was gonna do Oakwood on my day off tomorrow, but after what's just happened I've almost lost my appetite... :( ] John, Staffs.
Lightwatervally put the lodges on there website last year but now they have taken it of I emailed the park and they said there is no plans for it now I really think the new owners should of cept the idea
Guys come on, stop commenting on The Smiler's crash. Like Tim Morgan said, this is a Lightwater Valley vlog, not a Smiler vlog. If you want to comment about it, head over to Facebook or Twitter. And no hate on the vlogs. Thank you.
The Ultimate is one of the most brutal coasters around, but gives a good ride esp the 2nd 1/2 through the woods. Love this park to have a GG or CGI woodie & any type of B&M since they have plenty of space to add more coasters.
I'm really late commenting but I'm going here in summer and I couldn't handle eagles claw or anything like that because I get sick on some rides. Do you think I'll be fine on The Ultimate??
Great Vlog guys. I like spinning coasters the best spin I've had on a spinning wild mouse was on James Mellors magic mouse when it was at Middlesbrough last weekend it really got spinning fast and we got quite a bit of g-force on it.
Me and my friend went to Lightwater Valley yesterday (2nd June 2016) and we went on the ultimate twice. The first go was awesome, and then the second one when we had finished an we were coming into the station. It stopped for a few minutes, but luckily it started up again😯Thank god it did not stop on a hill or going down one😂😁
Paultons Park have a ride identical to Trauma Tower; the Jumping Bean. It was one of my favourites, if not my favourite ride there as a kid, as it is quite forceful for a family ride; although only half the height of Magma, more forceful than it. I know I talk a lot about Paultons, but I do believe I possibly know more about the park than you do!
I know this is unrelated but what are your thoughts on the crash. Do you think this is the end of the smiler? I hope not, even after the crash I am still not put off. The fact that they didn't die shows something, right? I love Alton towers, and I love the smile so I would really hate to see it go.
OMG PEOPLE! "THE SMILER CRASH!" This and That... OBVIOUSLY HE HAS HEARD ABOUT IT, HE WORKS THERE, WHY WOULDN'T HE ANYWAY, IT'S ON THE NEWS EVERY SECOND! This is a Lightwater Valley Vlog, it's not related to The Smiler at all. Why don't you comment on an Alton Towers Video which is actually related to it, instead of spamming this.... Only wanted to get my word out... No hate. :) Love your videos Shawn☺️ I saw you in Alton Towers last year in July... Going again on the 11th and will ask for a photo this time😄
I'm off on Friday, for the first time which is weird considering I live less than an hour away from it. It's a shame whirlwind won't be there but it still looks like there are some good rides!
One of the Times when I went on the ultimate, we went round a sharp bend and my ribs banged against the centre bit between the two seats. I was badly winded but couldn't double over. I had to sit down for ten mins after the ride. Still love it though:-)
Has whirlwind gone for 2016? +MC Hub has said it's gone! I'm going to Lightwater Valley next week with my family and best friend (She gets bullied at school for never going) And she was most looking forward to Whirlwind!
+Theme Park Worldwide The ride that replaced Whirlwind is called Apollo. It is basically a really high and slow version of Skyrider, well worth a go :)
The new sequence that they added on samurai last month makes it so much slower, now it barely does 3 rotations each direction an you barely get any spin....
1 minute in and I am laughing out loud when shawn says that the mascot's shirt needs a clean. brilliant!
What do you think of the Smiler accident?Do you think it will get shout down at all
Love the dinosaur that took the camera 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
my favourite park in England :)
Best theme park in the world went today ! 😊 want to go back feels like home 😔
I am going here in June 24 😂😊 can't wait
+aimeeXvlogs Have a great visit
I've been to light water valley today with my school and went on wirlwind 5 times, I loved it 😊
I loved beginning of raptor attack when the guy operating the ride gave the train a push to get off!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When the dinosaur stole the camera 😂😂😂
I remember those overhead restraints on the Ultimate the year it opened in 1991. Lethal isn't the word...........
I understand what you said about Valhalla 😂
Dunno if you have seen but the smiler crashed today! Great vlog keep it up
i have been there my fav rides there (that i have been on) are the falls of terror, the swinging pirate ship and the chairoplanes
Lightwatervally put the lodges on there website last year but now they have taken it of I emailed the park and they said there is no plans for it now I really think the new owners should of cept the idea

I'm going on holiday to flamingo land soon I loved it last year !
One of my favourite parks ever :)
Whirlwind will be missed 😔
Inferno Overdrive rip whirlwind best Mondale top scan
It still travels in UK fun fairs as Top Scan
@@blazingaqua9127 who owns it now?
@@icrofficial938 Joe W Whitelegg
@@blazingaqua9127 cheers 👍
me and my friend went on whirlwind 8 times! I would not recommended having your lunch before it!!!
+Patrick Lea It's a good fun ride!
+BobaFett Gaming the whirlwind has been replaced by Apollo; a ride with swings spinning up in the air. It was pretty scary!!
Lightwater valley is my local park, it is really good. Would you go again this year Shaun?
Off 23rd June with school (tomorrow!) can't wait! First port of call will be whirlwind
Just a question but does the eagles claw ride do a full circle because I would go on it if it only did a pendulum motion if that makes sense?
Another fab vlog, love watching these videos :)
Aw that is cute when the dinosaur got your camera
I'm the kid with the long hair at 7:03!! Omg!
The smiler accident sounds bad! I hope they don't have to close it down. It's not the greatest of rides but it would be sad to see it go!
the start of this vlog proves that the entertainers enjoy there job
Could you put a gopro onto the safety bars so you can record it or is it too big?
Can't get over that kid on eagles claw!!! "WOW!!" lol
grace tankard He was funny
6 years later LWV has changed a lot
Does Eagle claw goes upside down ? Cause i got School trip next week and we of to Lightwater Valley and just wanted to ask if that goes upside down..
no
Love this vlog it was fab i have been watching all the vlogs to keep my self occupied till Wednesday and California adventure vlog is out 🎢🎢🎢
+holbenjays Awesome, RCT will be online Wednesday followed by DCA the day after!
wow what cool rides are in light water valley
Off tomorrow. I can't WAITTT!!!
The Ultimate is one of the most brutal coasters around, but gives a good ride esp the 2nd 1/2 through the woods. Love this park to have a GG or CGI woodie & any type of B&M since they have plenty of space to add more coasters.
+Jim Culver It's such a good fun ride!
Fantastic video. Well done.
I'm really late commenting but I'm going here in summer and I couldn't handle eagles claw or anything like that because I get sick on some rides. Do you think I'll be fine on The Ultimate??
+Emily Patterson You would be fine, roller coasters are less intense than the flat rides
+Theme Park Worldwide Thanks! I'll try it then! :)
Going next week so decided I should watch the video so I can get to know the park better! :)
+Hey Its Alice Awesome stuff!

where would you prefer to go for the best rides for all lightwater valley or flamingo land?
+cutefashion 456 Flamingo Land!
bummer i have already book tickets to lightwater valley!
Paultons Park have a ride identical to Trauma Tower; the Jumping Bean. It was one of my favourites, if not my favourite ride there as a kid, as it is quite forceful for a family ride; although only half the height of Magma, more forceful than it.

I think that thorpe parks vortex is a Chance Revolution 32, which is why it doesn't go up as high or as forceful as the Eagles Claw
+ShroomWalrus Eagles Claw is just fantastic!

What is the height restriction on the best rides? is it 1.4?
OH MY GOD THATS ME WITH THE FREY JUMPER AND THE FRINGE IN THE LINE FOR THE ULTIMATE AAHH
+BertieStasTV Awesome!
need a big name steel Coaster to really put this park to another level, but still great park, insane rides
+Finlay Jowett I agree, it would be great to see a new steel coaster installed at the park
How strict are they with filming on ride with a GoPro?
JAMBO 468 If you contact the park before visiting they are fine with it
***** Thanks! I can't believe you replied. :D
Theme Park Worldwide if contact light water valley before your visit they will let you record the rides
Great Vlog as always guys! the smiler accident sounded bad! HOPE EVERYONE'S OK!
Will u make video about the smiler I would like to hear ur opinion
What are your thoughts on them selling whearl wind* for an 82ft swing ride
+GamerGuyFPS I am disappointed by this, as it was one of the best rides on the park
Does anyone know how you are strapped in on the black widows ride because I'm going To the park and want to go on that ride
No harness on that ride
good review and vid
i am going next thursday with my year and i want to go on raptor attack but i will probs scream 😂😂
Im going at the same time!
Not sure if you'll see this Shawn but which rides open at 10 and which at 10:30? By the way great video :)
+Jexspousure YT I'm not sure this season, usually it's the rides nearest the entrance!
+Theme Park Worldwide thanks ;)
I'm off on Friday, for the first time which is weird considering I live less than an hour away from it. It's a shame whirlwind won't be there but it still looks like there are some good rides!
+Oliver McNicholas Have a fantastic time
One of the Times when I went on the ultimate, we went round a sharp bend and my ribs banged against the centre bit between the two seats. I was badly winded but couldn't double over. I had to sit down for ten mins after the ride. Still love it though:-)
grace tankard The Ulitmate is such a classic in the UK
***** that's why I love it
Shawn pls reply saying when ur going to go lightwatervalley in 2016
+Callan Grady We will be
I'm going to light water valley in the holidays
Best Top Scan for me in the UK is The Beast at Fantasy Island, if you get a good operator on it you can really get a good sequence!!
I went to light water valley today, literally just got back. They replaced Whirlwind with this ride called Apollo,
I went on the vintage car rally and it is better than Grand Prix at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
i'm going next week cant wait
We did thanks :)
Was there once a log flume, because there is what looks like a drop opposite the Ferris wheel, and what looks like a run down queue line behind it.
+MC Hub There was an old pirate ship in this location
The ultimate apparently stalled in testing, i wonder what ride done that today?
Wow 😂
The speaker above the number on the told you what to land on and does the ab space playground have a food bar to have lunch or dinner
Love your reviews! New subscriber here!
Also I'm from Scarborough, fish and chips 👌
Thank you!
Has whirlwind gone for 2016? +MC Hub has said it's gone! I'm going to Lightwater Valley next week with my family and best friend (She gets bullied at school for never going) And she was most looking forward to Whirlwind!
+Mia Starnova It sure has
+Theme Park Worldwide Why? What made it go?
+Theme Park Worldwide The ride that replaced Whirlwind is called Apollo. It is basically a really high and slow version of Skyrider, well worth a go :)
Omg that was the day I met you both and I was with the 3 older girls who you were talking to x
The Flying Camels, a classic!
+Platypus Party It sure is
yes I will
I’m always confused when you say best flat ride in the uk. You said that for lots of other flat rides
I do struggle to decide!
I went today and when I was on the whirlwind I was screaming for dear life "I'm a catholic man"
Going here after SATS for a treat 👍🏻
Haha same
Does the Eagles claw go upside down
+Abbie Mullins It goes on it's side
This theme park seems to be good for what it is
+Morgan Hardcastle It's a great park to visit
Space Invader 2 is Astrostorm at Brean Sands
Space Invader 2 is now at Brean in Somerset. I ride it all the time aha 230 rides on the beast 😂

You could do!

Omg I'm going there tommorow!!!!!!!!

Didn't the Wild River Rapids use to travel with Funderworld?
+TheWetDolphin We believe so!
***** Do you know why Funderworld sold it?
You should go to greenwood forest park in north wales 😀it's a small them park but it's got some cool rides there
Including the worlds first human powered roller coaster,the longest sledge run in the uk and solar powered water slides
What's your favourite ride mines is the ultimate
I'm only 11 btw
Eagle's Claw!
+Theme Park Worldwide not bad a choice
+Theme Park Worldwide what happened to whirlwind?
The new sequence that they added on samurai last month makes it so much slower, now it barely does 3 rotations each direction an you barely get any spin....
When are you doing a vlog there this year
+Jack the Fish Crazy Dude This summer
Why was whirlwind put up for sale?
+Tiarnan Glavin The park are looking to remove the attraction
+Theme Park Worldwide why?
+The Fun Fair Geek I heard when will it debut and start travelling? And will it be refurbished and will the park replace it with something?
your an amazing blogger!
+Soulja Gurl Thank you for watching!
You're welcome:)
