It cost too much to upkeep. The company that built it was not very skilled so it was a problem from day one. It's layout wasn't great more like a train ride than a roller coaster. If I was them I would have kept the structure and have gravity group build it into a massive wooden coaster.
@Anotherexister yea but voyage was a proper wooden coaster with air time. This I would say would be closer to the beast but even then this thing really has no supports to it the track is literally on the ground like a train.
Must have rode this around 1997. Must have been the first coaster, for me where you were dragged over the top on the drops when sat in back car. I think we had been to alton towers the day before so i just remember it being a tad of an anti climax after Nemesis.
Epic ride! I think it is the only roller coaster that actually has 5 chain lifts (if I counted them right). OK, two of them are not exactly "lifts", more like chain movers, but still I think they count. Awesome!
RIP 1991-2023
I can’t believe Lightwater Valley are scrapping this ride! They must’ve had a brain bypass!

Hallo
Europe most boring rollercoster *
Way worse out there
In your opinion! I loved this ride. Shame it’s now gone.
It does not sound enjoyable at all.....
Looks ghetto asf. On the ground... Really?
That kind of stuff is customary in places like the UK. They just do things differently there. Pretty dull for sure. That's Great Britain for ya!
