Exploring The World’s BIGGEST ABANDONED Roller Coaster

[@Joober2000]

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.

[@Mortalfarmer]

It was my first ever roller coaster, can't remember what age but I was swearing my head off with my mates dad right behind us.

[@Paul20883]

It was great 👍

[@adamcarr6964]

Epic special effects 👏🏻 Used to love lightwater valley, it’s where everyone from Yorkshire went who’s parents couldn’t be arsed to drive to Alton Towers.

[@Vooddollgaming]

We went there a few times with school never went anywhere like this with my parents

[@BenTheMotionist]

I actually jumped when Al exploded. I was not expecting that, and at such high quality!

[@Alfiepowers]

I had a chance to go with school but cba to go

Brilliant as usual. Scared the s+)* out of me when you blew Alex up!!! I’d seen the story of the place recently. Amazing!

[@coolkitty2075]

[@loftyskies123]

me too jumped out of my bloody skin , wasnt expecting that lol

[@hoppinonabronzeleg9477]

Love the dedication to Urbexing, one week it's an old house, then it's a quarry, the week after that it's an abandoned theme park! Love it when Alex says 'There doesn't seem to be any security !' 17:54 And in the background is a camera!

[@daveofbillog]

The ultimate was fantastic in its day. It’s such a shame how lightwater valley has gone down hill over the years

[@karinarose7593]

It made me jump with the explosion bit 🤣 great vid and great banter!

[@alastairjones0]

That CGI explosion actually made me jump 😂 ‘Thomas the Spank Engine’ to avoid any licensing issues for your new ride. You’re welcome.

[@jimcook1161]

Seeing you blow Al up!! That's how you do jump scares... subtle and unexpected!!! Awesome!!!

[@bionicnichola9251]

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 ! 👏

[@chloeelizabeth211]

I remember the rat ride! they changed it to raptor attack with lots of dinosaurs! but it wasn’t as good because it wasn’t as dark:(

[@OurTown]

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.

[@buzzdem]

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.

[@chelle-fallen-angel]

That was one hell of a climb, well done all of you, that explosion edit was so good.

[@ignota.]

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.

[@ThemeParksFunfairs]

Fantastic, next to the ultimate hidden in the trees is where their used to be an indoor roller coaster all the rides queue line and that remains but the ride itself has gone. The Ultimates trains are being stored in their too

[@richiewilkins-zj6mj]

Correct. Checked last night. Still there.

[@deozeo4442]

Hi HoE! 👋🐈 Great jump-scare editing Lloyd of Al going every where as in "Where is your drill sergeant, men?", "Blown up, sir!" from the film that needs no intro, starring Ramis, Murray and the great John Candy. Cyber huggggs 🤗🤗🤗🐈

[@Theghostswithin]

Amazing as always, your editor is just amazing , great work madly brilliant x

[@Miss_Toots]

It's only 30years old too, feel sorry for lightwater valley, loved visiting it as a kid

[@NRD1985]

Another great explore, you're brave to go up to that high point. Loving the banter throughout as always.

[@peter9011]

i know this area so well. i miss the ultimate, a deer once ran onto the tracks while people were riding it im pretty sure.

[@stu-j]

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!

[@philipb378]

Great video again guys. I liked it when al blew up 🤣. All 3 of you are so entertaining to watch, funny every single time

[@Pure-Luck447]

the Special affects was amazing

[@dawnprochilo8084]

You guys were crazy for climbing that, I'm glad you got down safely. When I saw that it was built with wood I was a little nervous for you guys. I did like the video though, that explosion with Al was unexpected but cool at the same time. Looking forward to the next video, take care guys.

[@lindiwright1373]

I’m not scared of heights generally as I live up scaffold and tall ladders for my job half the time…but up a knackered wooden structure..kudos…it’s like the level of health n safety in Russia for day to day work..was bricking it for you lads! Love it! A’s invented ‘sheep trees’😅

[@David-jn4fx]

Always a great explore guys! Reminds me of the old Colossus coaster in the US. 🤔

[@annecraftone7702]

great effects it made me jump out of my seat almost i enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work of documenting history

[@herbiepopnecker13]

You chaps should seek out the doc about Action Park, New Jersey. The place was also known as traction park. Don't want to give away too much, but it's a cracking watch.

[@rdaw33]

Nice explore!!!.....Now documented for the future, soon to gone forever!........I know you couldn't pass up on the dangerous climb!!!!!

[@patriciaburns1033]

That effin explosion just made me spill a whole cup of hot chocolate all over myself and my bed so cheers lads, I nearly shit myself.

[@coolkitty2075]

🤣

[@theSooz1e]

Omg, I felt ill watching the climbs 🤮 I never go on roller coasters, so to see the height you guys were climbing is madness!! I wasn't expecting the special effect of Alex kicking an object and Lloydee put an explosion in, I jumped and hurt my neck 🙁🤣🤣 i enjoyed the vid alot but not the heights 🥴👍👍

[@MartynStanleyAuthor]

I found a POV of this ride! I have to say Mark's comments about the ride being 'painful' don't sound over-stated. In this clip, the rider is making sounds you'd expect from somebody undergoing abdominal surgery without aneasthetic.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpvTc3uZrcigrJI

been on this coaster a few times, one rough ride. Sometimes it would slow to a stop and had a tractor at the ready to pull it along a section of the track, lol. Was built by the British Rail Engineering, be sad to see it gone.

[@TheElectroFox]

Great video guys! I was also reading about the history of this coaster and it was apparently recreated as The Storm" in the "Katie's Dreamland" scenario in the original RollerCoaster Tycoon PC game :)

[@MattyEngland]

Great video as always lads 👍👍

[@MsKhaeli]

Remember when we went on a school trip and went on it. I can still hear the clicking noise when the carriage hit the chain on the floor to pull it up. Good old days. Not been to LWV in over 20 years. Feel old now. haha... Thanks for that guys 🙂

[@edmundandlucy]

Honestly very surprised there was no security or builders on site to be seen, they have started to remove parts of the ride for scrap. Huge guts to all of you for even attempting to climb it, wouldn't trust that wood at all now saying the ride probably hasnt been looked after since 2019

[@_Professor_Oak]

It was rough in 2000 when I went as a kid, so can't imagine what it was like in 2019. Good memories of it nonetheless, the first hill climb got you hyped to receive neck damage.

[@_Professor_Oak]

The highlight of this park for me was the old dark ride that closed in 2009, called the Sewer Rat in the 90's, or "raptor attack" before it closed. World's first underground coaster.

[@theplanespotter2849]

So the railway sleepers come from the british rail behind the project. Originally the owner wanted a rollercoaster out in the valley, so instead of making people get all the way there he made the coaster take them there, hence the first lift hill out the station. Anyways, light water valley tried to build the coaster themselves but didn’t get far so brought in British rail to help, and that’s really evident from how the track is supported, as it is bolted onto sleepers, and the sleepers are covered in ballast. Other hints include the train themed trains, the many, slow chains to drive the trains up hills and through stations or other “blocks” of the coaster. Absolute capacity monster. From what I remember it ran 4 32 passenger trains which is brilliant for todays standards. Shame over lockdown it didn’t take it well otherwise it’d still be with us

I went on that the first week it opened, it was the highest rollercoaster at the time. When you got to the top it paused for a moment so you could see across the park, before being catapulted forward down that big drop.

[@GamingGuy256636]

@Hell on Earth @7:00 That break would have been a brif breaker before releaseing the ride on that steep incline. so this roller coaster has a cahin to bring the carts up, 2nd chain would grab the carts the break would engage, after a set time the break releases and the chain goes full power for a boost. it would have been a Drenalin rush with the power that chain gave to the carts.

I did jump when the explosion happened. Proper got me.

[@richalderson6069]

I enjoyed this but it would have been good to see these guys explore the station with the carriages (if they were still there of course).

[@mikethedriver]

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'

[@vickibella8761]

I'd have loved to have done what you guys did Well done boys..
