Designed by German Herr Erich Heidrich for the 1929 Paris Colonial Exposition, later it was re assembled in Yaaaaaarmouth. It is one of only two remaining roller coasters where a 'brakeman' is required to ride with the train, to control its speed as there are no brakes on the track. It is the second tallest. (70 ft ) and fastest (45 mph) wooden roller coaster in the UK.

(Score Wikipedia.)

If you are thinking of visiting this make sure its dry. It was really slippery in the wet so came back when it was dry.

This would be a very easy location to lock down, so please be careful and desecrate.

The rest of the set will be on my Facebook and Flickr
