Paultons Park

Recommended Posts

Double Post (shoot me!)

Coaster force are reporting that not one, but two rollercoasters will be coming to the park in 2016 (in addition to a new food outlet, meet and greets & lots of theming apparently).

Family theme park Paultons Park are set to spend £8m on a new heavily themed scheduled to open Easter 2016.

The new four acre area - The Lost Kingdom - will be situated between the gardens and the Magama ride. Themed to dinosauars, the new area will contain several attractions and include animatraonic dinosaurs, character meet-and-greets and food outlets.

The thrill seeker highlight of The Lost Kingdom will be not one but TWO new custom rollercoasters. Raptor is a Family Boomerang coaster. Flight of the Pterosaur is Suspended Family Coaster also from Vekoma. Both coasters will be heavily themed with tunnels and foot/headchoppers.

This new land compliments the popular Peppa Pig World and the new-for-2015 Critter's Creek area which features a remodelled rollercoaster, a new track ride and an animal walkthrough.

When The Lost Kingdom opens in 2016, it will be the first UK theme park in 24 years to open two brand new coasters in the same year..

With a decent amount of theming (which Paultons are pretty good at although a bit bizarre in the case of Magma) and these 2 coasters will be brilliant! The suspended is a decent layout, throw in some foot choppers and it can be really good! The boomerang, at least it's a different layout and again could be quite nicely themed! Woop go Paultons!

This just looks incredible; and I really do hope Critter Creek does them well, as it's only really a re-theme of the Stinger; Beastie Burrows is a new attraction using the existing Wind in the Willows (what an incredible change to frontage), and the Expedition Express is a new ride. Makes me miss working there seeing how incredible they've changed that area.

 

Seriously looking forward to Lost Kingdom, as I honestly feel it's going to really bump them up the table with the rides going into it (I mean, two new coasters yay!). And if the re-theme is anything to go by, LK should be mind blowing.
