Theme Park Fanatic Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi does anyone know what’s happened to Cliffhanger now it’s departed Blackgang Chine? I hope it has been bought by my local Theme Park Camel Creek in Cornwall. Camel Creek’s signature Rollercoaster has been incredibly unreliable and will likely be scrapped. Cliffhanger would be a great replacement. I wouldn’t be surprised if the replacement for Cliffhanger is Enterprise from Alton Towers,Spinball Wizzer from Alton Towers,Rocky Express from Thorpe Park,Apocalypse from Drayton Manor or Floom Of Doom from Funland Hayling Island. Please can you all share your opinions and hopes for the future of Cliffhanger and it’s replacement? I hope the replacement is one of the rides I’ve listed. All these rides are/were too good to scrap. I wonder if a new ride will replace Blackgang Chine’s new ride that collapsed earlier this year? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=newssearch&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi0-P7uyNP7AhWl8rsIHVHUCVYQxfQBKAB6BAgJEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.countypress.co.uk%2Fnews%2F23016285.isle-wights-blackgang-chine-new-ride-horizon%2F&usg=AOvVaw1GDugKuyd-77RkaaijnEZt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park Fanatic Posted November 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 @Matt N you are clued up on Theme Parks do you think Blackgang Chine’s new ride will be one of those in my list? Matt is it a realistic possibility for Cliffhanger too end up at Camel Creek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 I don't know what exactly is replacing Cliffhanger, but I am under the impression it will not be a roller coaster, and instead a small-ish flat ride. 1 hour ago, Theme Park Fanatic said: I wouldn’t be surprised if the replacement for Cliffhanger is Enterprise from Alton Towers,Spinball Wizzer from Alton Towers,Rocky Express from Thorpe Park,Apocalypse from Drayton Manor or Floom Of Doom from Funland Hayling Island. Basically none of those rides would be viable options. Enterprise is on its last legs, and takes a lot of effort to keep open (much more than a park of Blackgang's size could cope with) Spinball is too big a coaster for the park Rocky Express is being scrapped Apocalypse is way too big a ride for the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want my honest opinion, I’d guess that it’s unlikely to be any of the rides you listed, but I guess Cliffhanger going to Camel Creek might not be out of the question.

Matt 236 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Well, who knows what the park is going to replace it with? Could be a small round ride, could be another coaster. Could be a B&M for all we know. But ones thing for sure, it won’t be an ageing flat ride from a Merlin park or Drayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattgwise Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Surprised there hasn't been backlash from locals as It really doesn't fit the environment haha! Very fun rides though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 They probably don't mind as it'll end up in the sea before long with the rest of the area. Mattgwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Did one of these in Dream Land Margate, a number of years ago. Very fun ride, but not sure how it fits in. Should probably go before it falls in the sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
