Rollercoaster, Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach

[@andyknight1]

We had a RCCGB club trip a few years ago, and the last ride of the day involved hardly any, or no brakes until the final bend. This ride is a classic, long may it run.

thanks for that. Took me right back to 1982 as a little kid with a full head of hair !!!

I find it strange that a side friction coaster was made as late as 1928. This ride was originally from France but was moved to Great Yarmouth in 1933. Most side friction coasters were made before the 20's. The Cyclone on Coney Island from 1927 is a million times scarier than this...Doesn't make sense! However, this is a great POV and I really enjoyed it...A real classic!

Also, most coasters during the 1920s were "side-friction", but most patrons didn't really care. A 1920s era roller-coaste wouldn't really "scare" people today, but back then, it sure was scary! ;-D

the only reason it was slower was because it was taken from the front and the back end of the coaster has to catch up before it goes down the hill, try watching a video of the ride from the back.

[@xtremespeed128]

At that slow speed, who would even consider adding trim brakes?
