Great Yarmouth pt1 - Roller Coaster

[Graeme]

Went to ride one of my favourite coasters the other day - the Great Yarmouth Roller Coaster. The ride was as good as usual, full of enclosed turns, high turns, large drops and weightlessness, all done very smoothly.

Of note is the fact that they now insist the smallest person sits on the right-hand side of the train. Interestingly, you really feel the track bank on the first corner before the lift hill (the right-hand side drops lower than the left). Could it really be that they have banked it? I don't remember it before.

I have an obsession with parks been “green” and can’t help thinking that the permanent amusement parks like Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach would have a much better atmosphere if they attempted to be less concrete, although I’m sure there’s quite a green area in the middle of the roller coaster

The photos that (I think) were posted on URF of the roller coaster with its mountain scenery facade looked much more appealing than the current American style too
