Awesome footage, thank you for sharing it.

[@cadser0engco]

Great video. I bet elf and safety have a nightmare with riding on the trucks. I had an hour or so on the station before we hit the beach.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Not only going down, but you need nerves of steel to ride up, I'd say. At least you have a brake lever to hang on to on the way down

[@callumlivingston8868]

This is wonderful.

[@peterjarvis9367]

All it lacks is the wind on your cheek and the smell.....

Lilla in GREEN? Now I HAVE seen everything! Great video

[@AndreiTupolev]

Looks very pretty.

[@MAWLAG]

Lilla was green when new!!

[@AECEntertainment]

MadogMersey I didn't know that. I have only ever seen her dark blue. Don't think me ignorant

[@MAWLAG]

Ignorant?? No, it's a minefield! Lilla eventually moved to Penrhyn where she acquired her darker livery. I understand the green is temporary, and the FR plan to retrun her to Penrhyn livery, sometime. My Roundhouse model is in green, but darker!. See madogmersey channel.

[@AECEntertainment]

MadogMersey ahh brilliant. I prefer her dark blue livery to be honest.
