Lightwater valley is done at this point. The Brighton pier group really killed this park.

@bendyinkmachinefan2659 Год назад

Absolutely disgusted in how Brighton Pier Group have treated the Ultimate they don't care all about scrap metal cash coming in from it hopefully they may sell some parts to the enthusiasts such a shame the UK's longest coaster record holder had been treated like this

@NickyMitchell85 Год назад

What’s ‘Lightwater Valley’ gonna 🐝 like 👍 without ‘The Ultimate’? ‘The Ultimate’ was the *BEATING **_HEART_* ♥️ of ‘Lightwater Valley’. THINGS WILL *NEVER* BE THE SAME!!!!! *Totally unfair* (or should I say: *”Totally un-fairground!”* )

This will be the next UK theme park or whatever it is these days to close down!

It should close now i think Brighton pier group have ruined the whole place removed alll the good rides and the ultimate only one ever to be built like that

@simonbradshaw3708 Год назад

This is a very sad piece of history and I agree with some of the other comments that this park won't be around for many more years. I was lucky enough to go on the ride and I much preferred the 2nd half of the ride.

@darrenbutterworth807 Год назад

Only rode it once but it was the highlight of the park by far - so sad to see it in this state. Great job on documenting its life, old age and now death though - thanks Darren.

@nigelkthomas9501 Год назад

The level of stupidity involved here, in destroying a perfectly good rollercoaster, is simply off the scale! Why couldn’t it have been improved? To destroy something like this is an unmitigated act of vandalism!

@sparkyUK Год назад

There's no cash available. Sadly the management of the park ruined the park by not following up with decent support rides to complement the Ultimate. Then you're in a position where you have a star attraction and not much else. Totally mis-managed and they've ruined this park.

@Lighting_Desk Год назад

This is heartbreaking. They have shown so much disrespect for this once record breaking and unique peice of history. They just quietly dismantling of her without ceremony or acknowledgment. No selling parts to enthusiasts. This park has lost the heart and soul. It will never be the same again.

@CamGold Год назад

Could we see Lightwater Valley closed by next year ? I can see it. The only way they could get back from this is is they built a massive new thrilling rollercoaster to replace this with like the UKs first RMC or something like that that’s the only way this park has a chance to survive.

@JamieHall. Год назад

The chances of that happening Is very unlikely so I guess they will just close down

@sebastiandoherty674 Год назад

Lightwater Valley hasn’t attempted anything like a world record ever since. Plus the new management aims to make it more family oriented. If anything, the park will likely go downhill in the next year or so.

@UKThemeParks Год назад

Its so sad to see, seems a desperate rush to get rid of the viasble bits before the park re-opens, wonder how long the rest of the track will remian after.

If there's scrap value, probably not long. But they won't be in a rush out of view as you say.

Another brilliant but upsetting video Darren, the second lift Hill won't be that long before that's on its side, as for the rest of the track that's easy, I suspect that the first lift Hill will take a while especially if they are removing it peace by peace, all that metal looks in pretty good nick tbh and the wood doesn't look half bad either! Hopefully they'll save the wooden sleepers.

Yes, back when we had dreams. I think I was only aware of this coaster around 1990 due to a feature on the Radio One breakfast show. They appealed for listener suggestions to name this, then new beast. No internet back then! It was also featured on an old ITV hospital documentary called Jimmy's, based in Leeds from memory.
