It was a big shame I used to be a moderator on the forums and was very sad to see it get shut down however the park began to stagnate and so did the forums. As someone previously said links to the park were also lost and the owner of the page decided it cost too much to keep it going so shut it...

https://www.facebook.com/share/Newq3sRKVVjg67eC/?mibextid=WC7FNe More news about the holiday park, the project is finally going ahead and they expect to break ground later this year! Looks like a good start for the park this year, Easter Sunday was sold out and seems to be getting some good...

there’s some suggestion that it could be this could be airbender from camel creek, been sbno since last year and sure the park went into administration? https://rcdb.com/17212.htm Anyway, seems like a good fit to me, the coaster even has rocket styled cars and also pink track which funnily...

Just seen this on the lightwater valley website, it seems the park are adding a new coaster for 2024 called the rocket coaster! No other details are known apart from the description below, but I assume it’ll be some sort of junior coaster although it does say for the older kids.(not even on rcdb...

Although definitely trespass an amazing insight to the parks past attractions! they were brave to adventure down into the rat/raptor attack very creepy! Nice to see a lot of the toad hole workings all still there too, suprised the boat wasnt intombed in there too! Ultimates second half was...

Lightwater already has a vintage cars they'll no doubt reuse, it was placed next to hungry harbour, think it closed maybe 3years ago. No doubt it's been dragged out of storage? And wouldn't a dino themed crazy golf course randomly at the entrance weird? Hopefully it's a new build somewhere...

Is it just me or does this look like it won't have the suspected turning platform? Glad this one isn't going to be built on a frame.

Re: Lagoon 2015 - New "In House" Coaster ^Did you read any of this topic before you posted? Well with that information this could turn out to be a half decent ride, looking at the stats provided i'm guessing it'll have dive machine like features. The one thing that has me puzzled is the...

Re: Lagoon 2015 - New "In House" Coaster Am I correct in thinking that thier bombora coaster is also a in house build? Also someone mentioned they may have help from Zierer, I can imagine there's some truth in that as they did build a vertical launch coaster there recently so would add up.

100k maybe abit of an exaggeration, but i would think that it will increase visitor numbers and revenue. It's easily marketed and great addition to the younger audience, who will no doubt spend hours playing on it. There's also a Angrybird shop which i've heard is doing well, once the activity...

There's some more cool pictures here... http://valleymania.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... 3&start=50 Looks like the park are also adding a indoor play area/cafe themed to Angry birds space, which looks cool. Overall looking like a good little development, hopefully leading to bigger things.

http://valleymania.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... 3&start=40 ^Nice photo update here. It's certainly looking vast.

^I've only ever ridden one Caripro ride, which was Batflyer at Lightwater valley, which was a maintenance nightmare and broke down almost constantly. But as for the ride, it was alot of fun! Pinfaris are pretty damn awful, so i guess they'd be my worst. Best between B&M and intamin...

I live ten miles from lightwater and theres no snow here at all, even earlier on there was only a light sprinkle, can't imagine its much worse ten miles down the road.
