Some may recall the loss of two iconic rides for the park one of which was Apocalypse & the other Pandemonium. Both of which sat somewhat near to one another meaning there\u2019s a fair bit of room now available in the park. So, it seems they have since confirmed there\u2019s something very exciting on its way!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, what do we know so far? It\u2019ll be a family thrill rollercoaster intended to open in 2024. Managing director as stated \u201cit\u2019ll be one of the best rollercoasters in the UK\u201d which is a rather strong statement.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

I guess the next question is what family thrills are there in the UK to set the expectations for this new rollercoaster & to answer that here are a few; Wickerman, Thirteen, Storm Chaser, and Velocity. So, the bar is already set relatively high and it\u2019ll be fascinating to see what this ends up becoming.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m assuming for the 2024 opening going by what\u2019s already been spoken of we will start to see some kind of activity to give us a teaser as to what will be happening. I would love to see some type of motorbike launch or even a wooden rollercoaster. I\u2019m by all means not quite sure about the budgets available or the odds of either but whatever happens, it\u2019ll be rejuvenating to see a new rollercoaster open at the park since the last one was when Ben 10 \/ Accelerator opened & that was a very long time ago perhaps 2011 I\u2019d like to say?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

What rollercoaster can you visualise opening at the park?<\/span><\/p>\n
