Only ever been there once, not long after it opened - one of the earliest examples of a theme park where you paid money to get in, and all games and rides were free, with as many goes as you like (queues permitting) - it hadn’t been opened long, so all there was there was a train that ran round the park, an adventure playground called Fort William and an archery area - we rode all the way round on the train, starting in the car park, then stayed on the train and went round to Fort William and spent the day in there - over the years, it has expanded and had rides put in, but I have never been, apart from that occasion! Nearby attraction Flamingoland began life as Flamingo Park Zoo - originally, it was little more than that - but, following on from Lightwater Valley, which began life as a pick-your-own-strawberries place, gradually became more of a theme park than a zoo - I think they still have animals there - and, of course, the flamingos that give the place its name - both attractions now have a one time admission fee, with free rides - I think they have food concession stands (not free) - as a result, most other better-known places have also gone down the “one time admission fee, free rides” route - the most well-known of which is Alton Towers, along with other places in Berkshire and Surrey!

Three miles from Ripon, which is where my wife grew up. Went to lightwater valley a lot when she was a child when it was still only a fruit picking farm with a big shed of pigs showing them all at various ages (very cute), the boats on the lake, the mini railway and fort William, which was a large wooden area with lots of high up ropes and swings to navigate She remembers them building this rollercoaster. As she is terrified of heights and fast scary rides, she has never been on this so it was interesting for her to view this video.

Ai first, I wondered if the title "longest" referred to time, because it seemed as if the coaster was crawling slowly like a freight train in a switch yard. But the twists and turns through forests was very cool. I worried for the riders, too, because if the foliage is not trimmed correctly then we could be hearing about decapitations. Way cool.

[@mikekelly7862]

I'm always so fascinated by this ride! I really like the park employee just ducking under the tracks at the start of the POV... Lightwater Valley seems like one of those cool, independent parks that have these oddities you wouldnt find at a Six Flags/Cedar Fair/Merlin etc. park. Says SBNO in 2021 on rcdb... I hope they're just doing maintenance or something... wouldn't actually surprise me if it legit took them a year to do major maintenance on it... its huge and owned by a smaller regional park. This is really a one of a kind attraction that would probably never be built today. And I imagine it's got historic significance for the locals, it would have to! Hope I can get this credit someday! Cool POV, thanks for sharing!

News has broke its being closed and is getting removed :(

@Manic World that's really, really sad... but I can't say I'm surprised. Maintenance must be an absolute nightmare and probably more expensive than ever post covid... still though. There'll never be another one like this.

[@dazediss6629]

The best part about this coaster is that because it goes out and back so far that they only go and trim the trees and bushes back once every few years. So if you’re lucky you get whacked in the face by a few branches after the second drop
