If this were Merlin they would be marketing that invert as ‘tallest in Ireland’
No comment aha
Taller than cu challain by a foot lol
Looking to be the most underrated new coasters of 2024!
It’s damn good!
Jeeeez that new invert has some crazy low transitions & looks smooth as silk. Another ride that's exceeded expectations!! 🤌
It’s so darn smooth!
I hadn’t even heard of this park until a month ago, ever since my appreciation for the park and will to visit it one day have grown. Looks like some great stuff
Such a shame the Viking log flume wasn’t open.. that thing looked stunningly beautiful
But just remember it's Tayto Park not Emerald Park
Lovely to meet you today. Thanks for taking the time to chat to my junior coaster enthusiast! Safe journey home.
My pleasure 😀
Emerald Park really looks like a park to keep an eye on, I'm excited for their future and irish folklore is such a great theme
It really is!
Makes a LOT more sense than wanting to visit "Taytoland" for foreigners. Tying the park into the rich Irish history is a perfect fit for it.
God, I wish this place existed when I was a kid. Emerald Park is Ireland's first theme park. We have amusement parks, sure, but there's nothing you find in them that you wouldn't find in any town fair anywhere in Europe or America. Emerald Park is the only one that's broken that pattern and given us what 12 year old me would have died for. They really have done a wonderful job and I hope their investment pays off, these coasters look incredible. Think I need to take a look at the weather forecast and get myself down there.
I think you need to visit ASAP!
As an Irish lad I tell ya the North wind is unforgiving it's just rain rain rain with a wee bit of sunny patches and good days so no real need to look at the weather forecast just pray 😅
I'm taking kids over next week, and I'm looking forward to getting to experience the park. I've been wanting to go since I moved to Ireland 7 years ago.
Now I just have to hope the weather is good for my visit!
Fingers crossed!
Finally some decent coasters in Ireland, it's something we've had to go aboard to experience since time began. Hopefully they expand even further.
It certainly looks like a park that has enough room to expand into more themed lands depending on how this new space does for them visitor wise!
A fantastic new roller coaster. Based on this video alone, we would say that this version of the vekoma suspended thrill coaster could be even better than the one in Tripsdrill! And we love the ride at tripsdrill 😉
A few others said the same today
Cant wait to see ya on rte at 6 tn good to see our park geting the recignition it deserves🇮🇪🇮🇪
My 5 moments of fame and they didn't even mention the channel, for shame! haha
🥇
💪🏻
the suspended one looked INSANE. It reminds me a bit of nemesis when it was so close to the floor, make it feel faster than it is. Looked whippy as anything.
Got a real whip to it, really forceful
Looks fantastic. Can't wait to get there!
Have a lovely time when you go!
Your pronunciation is a lot better than other vids I see😭 im just gonna help people who aren’t familiar tho! Na fianna force -= na fee-in-a force
Tír na nóg = tier na noe-g
Can’t wait to see ye on rte!
We were on the news that evening, not sure if they shot anything for Episode 4 of Nerves of Steel or if that has already been shot. I'm sure we'll find out next Friday!
Great video! Looks exciting, will be visiting next year hopefully!
I hope you do!
Looks amazing!
It does!
yes! thank you. It looks great.
Sure does!
Love a good Sean and Scott team up...Theme Park Avengers Assemble 😁 The park looks incredible too, the way the two coasters interact with each other so much is fantastic. Must add it to the Theme Park Bucket list.
Cheers mate!
Very nice new area and park cheers 4 showing nice to see Scott
He pops up now and again haha always when we’re going abroad
The airtime run at the end of na fianna force looks great, will probably go in September and looking forward to it
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Great bumping into you and chatting at the event. We were told it's pronounced 'Na Fienna Force'. The ride surpassed my expectations, I wasn't expecting this second iteration of Suspended Thrill Coaster to offer intense positive G's, extreme banking, snappier Taron style moments and ejector, which although they were not quite as extreme as Taron's ejector, they were still utterly berserk and unexpected for what is essentially an inverted coaster with lap bars (which are honestly incredible for an invert to have and I hope we see more of these pop up). Easily my favourite inverted coaster, dethroning Nemesis with ease. Here's hoping that it brings in a lot of visitors internationally, because it's a special coaster and one that I think will get a lot of people wanting their home parks to start planning for similar Suspended Thrill Coasters. This ride and I'm sure Hals Uber Kopf prove that modern inverted coasters can go utterly batshit... let's hope that B&M follow suit!
Looks great new area and coasters need a bit of merlin magic maybe
Good to see you too man!
@@kkrispy2009P Na Fianna Force is honestly better than any of the Merlin coasters I've ridden :) the area isn't completely finished yet, but I should imagine it will be next season
Was great meeting you at Manchester airport today.
The area is great such a good upgrade to the park.
Hope you had a good day today!
Looked like a really good opening! Onto the next big one...
I'm quite HYPED for the next one
great to hear your review! I'm riding Hals Uber Kopf next month so very helpful to know what STCs are like!
Enjoy it!
The suspended coaster looked like a really fun ride - enjoyed the video 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Saw you on the news keep up the good work
🙏
Going there in a few weeks, it looks good 😊 can’t wait to ride it 👌
Have a lovely time!
@@LiftHillsandThrills thanks! Hope you had a good time 😀
@@TrickyEditz. Sure did!
Ah it’s lovely to see Scott in your vlog
Hope there will be something like this coming to the UK!
Would be cool!
Thank you 🙏
My grandson and I are visiting from the US in 2 weeks and have tickets to Emerald Park to come ride these new coasters, as well as Cu Chulainn. We are so excited!
Have an amazing time!
Update: We came, we saw, we rode! The 2 new coaster are so much fun. Cu Chulainn was awesome! What a lovely park, with something to offer everyone! We loved it❤️
@@deniseroller8102 So glad you had a good time and enjoyed it!
Great vlog 👍 you guys are a great double act 🎭
haha I choose my vlog cameos wisely! Hayley always says it how it is! I miss Jake and Lauren, they're my go-to people for incredible vlogs we always make absolute bangers together!
Im heading here with my school soon enough, I might gather enough courage to board this coaster 😅
Have a lovely time!
We need more vids with you and Scotty boy. Top lads the pair of you. Bosh
Thank you kindly!
Looks like a very solid edition to the park. Theming looks solid it most areas. Would be nice to see some themed queue and ride area fences but that seems to be the trend with the new coasters this year.
Yeah I’m not a fan of just plain fencing but there was quite a bit unfinished around The Quest and other features in the middle. More to be added over time for sure
Watching this makes me hope the two old radiators I left at the end of the driveway helped in some way to contribute towards something like this! Let’s hope many get to enjoy the ride before it’s scrapped!
👀
Tripsdrills 2 Coasters like this were done in stages of theming. The final product is absoultley breathtaking so this has the same potential! The STC is so good!
Everyone who did the tripsdill coaster at the event said this one is better. High praise indeed
@LiftHillsandThrills Very much looking forward to visiting in a few weeks and trying it out! As the Tripsdrill one blew me away entirely. The theming there Sean is 👌 QUALITY.
@@jackgrace3132 I'd love to check it out!
Cool ❤
:)
I was wondering why I could hear Scott's voice in your POVs! Haha
There's your answer haha
I looked up the mystic knights of tir na nog and the top comment basically said they needed to look it up to confirm it was actually real and not a fever dream from childhood.
😂 fair
This expansion is going to look fantastic when all the trees grow in. For such a small park they really have done a great job of this land. I would of liked to see them carry the theming more into the gift shop and not just had plain white ceilings etc, but the rest of the area looks pretty nice. With all those walls along the entrance to the land is that room for further expansion or just hiding the view into the rest of the park? The main coaster looks like a riot! About the only thing I think that could add to that experience? Would be onboard audio of Celtic drums sinked to the pacing of the ride.
The fencing towards the area I’m not sure it doesn’t look great but it will look great when everything is finished as it still looks really good now!
That thumbnail 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥❗‼‼
Haha thanks
I saw you on the news, lol. If they do ask the name, Fianna is pronounced Fee-na, and Tír na nÓg is pronounced Tear nah No-g 😊 Did you get on Cu Chulainn? (Coo Cullen)...you'll be sounding like a local soon lol. If you've kidney stones, Cu Chulainn will dislodge them lol. The speech from Charles is quite emotional. I went to the first theme park his dad opened back in 2010. The highlight was a long zip line. That was my last visit to the park until the new coasters went in, and I learned the name changed from Tayto Park to Emerald Park. I went the Friday after you and again yesterday. I love the new coasters and Cu Chulainn is a beast on it's own and remains my nemesis. While riding Na Fianna Force I strapped a gopro to my leg....leg cam lol. It's on my RUclips channel if you would like to check it out please 😊 Thanks for your videos, I enjoy looking at all the different roller coasters out there. I now realise I love roller coasters and my next one is Hyperia when it eventually opens up again 😊
I'm glad you watched the TV segment that was such a cool thing to be a part of but we all got edited down massively haha we're all big talkers clearly! I'll still pronounce everything badly, I'm horrendous when it comes to that! haha
@@LiftHillsandThrills I'm sure I mess up plenty of UK place names and look and sound like I'm having a stroke while trying to say them 😆
Great, honest review. It looks an excellent ride experience, so hopefully there's an increase in visitor numbers to match their ambition. The question now is, will Gold Rush at DM be finished before they open it? I don't know about tou, but I'd rather wait for the opening in order to get the full immersive experience. This trend of opening a coaster with incomplete theming looks like it's here to stay though, as the parks seek to recoup their investment as soon as they can ..
I'd rather wait too but sometimes with certain seasonal things places rush to get it open so it can start recouping that investment as you say. Paultons seem to buck the trend with that one and open an attraction finished!
Good to see you around the park today Sean how many time's did you get on Na fianna force
I'd say around 4 or 5 times I think!
Going this Thursday, hopefully the weather cooperates
Enjoy!
10:08 😂 crazy concept ey
Madness
“Plants that have already grown”. Is that a dig at Hyperia? ;)
and Drayton... and Legoland
Oh god yeah, Mini figure Speedway still looks questionable in its landscaping 😅
@@Global_Thrills 100%
15:38 The quest's station isn't done yet but it should be done soon. they will close it at 2:30pm every day until its finished
Is that right? We didn’t hear anything about it yesterday other than it wasn’t finished!
Really?
@@LiftHillsandThrills for the first ever day of operation they didn't close it because they wanted the 3pm guests to get their rides too.
@@yourexperienceguide yeah but for the first ever day of operation they wanted everyone to get their rides (im pretty sure some people came in at 3pm)
Did someone curse the Vekoma STC / Boomerang combo to always open with half done theming? Happened in Tripsdrill, too! 😅
Haha yup!
I went here yesterday
Hope you had a good time!
Great video Sean, when you accidentally walked into the women’s toilets and when you said it on video I was like “That’s an epic fail moment right there lol 😂 “
🤣😂😂😂 I was ready to change gender just to save face
@@LiftHillsandThrills haha lmao 🤣😂
Are they gonna finish theming the quest station?
The rides look wonderful!
All they need is a small dark ride right here!
Of course, they just had to open early for summer work on the station / area is ongoing!
BRO WHEN U WERE IN THE GIFT SHOP SHOWING THE PLACE, THE ONE AND ONLY BRANDON CAULFIELD WALKED BY OMGG
I have no idea who that is aha
Land of youths
Stoke on Trent that is
Why does everyone keep saying its the tallest? Cú Chulainn is still taller and faster (slightly)
The website states it's just slightly higher than Cu Chulainn. Probably just a foot in it!
It's the tallest by a very small margin
@@LiftHillsandThrills tbf I question what they use to measure it as if it's just the track then Cu is still gonna be much higher as it isn't an invert.
According to rcdb cu is half a foot taller so they can't agree it seems aha
@@chrisogrady28 Get that tape measure out, if the park say it's taller ima take the source as gospel not a third party but that's just me! aha
@@LiftHillsandThrills I'll pack the Astrolabe
where would you rank it among the inverted coasters on the british isles, i imagine better the nemesis but not quite as good as infusion right?
Something like that aha it's a good job I don't really rank coasters
That looks like an awesome themed area and coaster with two great complimenting rides. Hopefully they get plenty of visitors and other ‘theme’ parks take not of theming *cough* Merlin *cough*
I hope so too!
I am going
Have a lovely time!
That was flying around the track
Yup! Literally the third ride of the day too after the family were riding it for TV then it was our turn for TV 😂
Yassss long live the Irish
🇮🇪
@@LiftHillsandThrills 👑
🇮🇪
Is it worth a visit especially when looking at cost and travel time?
For sure
The park itself is great honestly. Especially with family.
Yes
I was just at emerald park today ...disappointed they took away the airplanes that they took away to make that ride ..but it was good over all 10/10
Glad you enjoyed it all the same
@@LiftHillsandThrills yes it was absolutely amazing I loved it
23:32 Shots fired at Thorpe Park, LegoLand and Merlin
And Towers (Nemmy reborn’s queueline is woefully underdeveloped)
@@LiftHillsandThrills Didn't think you would throw shots at Nemesis but fair. Parks are opening rides earlier than the time the product would be entirely finished.
It was on the news today 😂
It was indeed! My 5 seconds of fame aha
I saw you on the news 😂
@@Rollercoastermadness24 You did! I should have been on a few channels yesterday we did about 3 interviews haha
So what happend to the ride being anounced as 5 inversions when it was going vertical, to 2? Where have the other 3 inversions that were anounced gone?
It has 3 inversions and has been 3 for as long as they’ve been sending us press releases (over a year now) where have you read 5? Shoot us a link!
@@LiftHillsandThrills I only see 2 on your POV. And it was on their own website, at their own construction page.
I see they now have removed it from their website. But still, I can't find the 3rd inversion on your POV. Two zero-g-rolls and thats it.
@@DJWezzyK maybe the 3rd is at 12:30 but 12:35 and 12:42 (maybe since theres 2 roles that could be the 3rd) are the ones id class as proper ones
@@SuperCellSprout The one at 12.30 is just an average horseshoe element. Which does not invert at all.
Hi mate, what is the ride height for the coasters? Also is there 2 trains
1.2M and yes
@@LiftHillsandThrills perfect 👌🏻 thanks
You gonna be at Thorpe park on Friday ?
Press night but not there for long on Friday, heading back up north with Beth after an hour or so!
What a great vlog, Sean, delighted to see how positive you are about Tir na nOg and the new coasters. It was lovely to meet you today. What did you make of Cu Chulainn? 😊😊
I loved it! Wasn’t too rough whatsoever!
@@LiftHillsandThrills Great, it's a brilliant ride. I find it rougher and rougher as the years go by though
now you gotta get back to ride hyperia 😂
I will, on Thursday
Did you get to ride Cú Chulainn before you left? 😊
I did!
@@LiftHillsandThrills you made it onto the RTÉ news 😄
@@eugewaz3859 I know they were filming with us all morning and only put about 6 seconds in 😂😂 they recorded a rider cam POV too
@@LiftHillsandThrillsmight be a longer section in the Nerves of Steel program 😊
@@eugewaz3859🤞🏼🤞🏼
Cú Chulainn is still the tallest according to RCDB?
They're both listed at 32m but Emerald say Na Fianna is just ever so slightly higher
@@LiftHillsandThrills Ah ok fair enough
@@acceleradam Maybe because it’s suspended? The structure is a little higher above the track? 🤷♂️
@@LiftHillsandThrills That one flange at the top must give it the edge 🤏
@@acceleradam Must do aha
So the STC is running one train?
There was another train we saw today so I imagine two for this on a busy day (not press)
The second train came on at around 16:30, as there was an event of for members in the afternoon which saw 1,700 more people descend on the park! The 2 trains then ate up the queue, after a bit of a delay.
TAYTO PARK FOREVER
Taytooooo
The coasters look amazing, but I can't believe they've opened the area in that state with all the unfinished theming. Some areas look really shabby.
It was meant to be finished and they have sold a lot of tickets for general opening tomorrow. It’ll be added to over the next few weeks
It's an ongoing project for sure... it's a shame The Quest station isn't finished and some areas weren't looking the best on that side of the park but when it's all finished it'll be great. For me the interior of the stations was a shame, very basic but the external design is beautiful
How could they not open it, with summer season starting? I don't think it looks shabby at all, it's clearly under construction and the potential is massive.
@@AudreyMealiffGP won’t mind, plus they did the same with Viking Voyage lol 😅
hi
👋
But is it more intense than Nemmy
It’s less shakey!
Hi
Hey Dylan 👋
@@LiftHillsandThrills hey
M a big fan
It would be right if you did not pronounce the a in Na Finanna Force
I'll never pronounce anything right aha
Is it worse than the Cú Chulainn?
It's a better ride for me although I really enjoyed Cu Chulainn
A bit mad having an opening on a week day, also not really fussed on the track colour, doesn’t really match the theming.
Think the contrast of the two tracks works rather well with the warrior backstory matching the fire (red) of the track and The Quest being more of a journey / adventure
@@LiftHillsandThrills Maybe so but they should have gone with a darker shade of red, maybe a maroon red and darker blue.
@@riggerz08 Or just kept it as it is? :P
@@LiftHillsandThrills Well there not going to change it because of me are they? Haha. It looks good and fun and hope the theming when finished will look good. The exterior theming looks incredible, they just need to match that now with the interior theming. I need a trip there. The park looks fun and that wooden coaster looks intense. Haha
I would rather them open it so people can enjoy the rides. The interaction between rides is great ! You didn't mention that. When finished this looks up there ! The more money the better the future...you basically took your v.ip. made advantage of it then told people it's a construction site after years of hard work. I've watched you and followed you for years but in my opinion you went too far.
It was briefly mentioned about the interactions and if anyone has turned up today and gave it an entirely honest review it further proves my point of people kissing a parks ass just because they got a free invite. There were still construction tools in The Quest station, there were signs everywhere saying it wasn't finished, am I supposed to ignore that and say it's all perfect and wonderful? Absolutely not. That area was a construction site and you'd be blind or stupid to disagree otherwise and put that in a review. I pride myself on honesty to deliver honest true content if you want the 'everything is awesome' reviews then I'd suggest you look elsewhere
Criticising everything but can't spend £5 on a wind shield. Glass houses etc. how many people don't get past the first minute because of the wind noise
Average watch time is 17 mins so think you’re on your own there kiddo
