I never thought I would get emotional watching, of all things, a video about a rollercoaster being scrapped. This is the first 'real' rollercoaster I ever remember going on, in fact all my first coasters were Lightwater Valley. Such a shame we never had the chance to say a real goodbye to such an iconic ride.

What is ‘Lightwater Valley’ gonna 🐝 like 👍 without ‘The Ultimate’? Not the same if you ask me. I had [and still have] fooooooooooooooooond memories of that theme park even in my darkest and most *painful* 😣 era of my life [after losing my mother 👩 in 2002] when, [looooooooong story short], my dad 👨, his girlfriend Clarissa Fernandez, her son Enriquez and Clarissa’s sister 👩 Dorota and her two children Guillermo & Popibela took me to Lightwater Valley back in 2003. There, my dad 👨 & I went on the Ultimate together, having separated from the group temporarily to do our own things. I went on the Ultimate inspired by riding the back of my dad’s motorcycle 🏍️ and I really enjoyed it. I envisaged multiple variants of that ride in various theme parks, I liked it that much.

I was there as a kid in the 80s, before the coaster. Memories include the BMX bikes, the vertical slide and the bikes with steering wheels and off-center hubs. It took until 2016 when I took my own kids to finally ride the Ultimate, it was rough and bumpy for a Steelie by that time but so glad that we went when we did. Sad to see it go.

I did however appreciate your history video of it and was pleasantly surprised to hear that British Rail had some involvement in its construction. The music does fittingly remind me of An Ending (ascent) by Brian Eno; parts of me are now wishing I should have given it a try during my 2 visits to Lightwater Valley around 10 years ago. 😥💔

Thank you so much for sharing this incredible video footage. Though I, unfortunately, never rode The Ultimate I have always been fascinated by it ever since it first opened. Terrain coasters have always fascinated me and there are so few of them around today. To see such an iconic coaster unceremoniously cut up and tossed away like last year's Christmas tree is absolutely heartbreaking to me...and I never actually rode it. I can only imagine how painful it is to see this video for the fans of The Ultimate. Though is is sad to watch, thank you for documenting this difficult part of The Ultimate's history. At some parks they keep parts of removed coasters on site as a sort of memorial to a much missed attraction. I was hoping that Lightwater Valley would do that with The Ultimate but it at least looks like any such memorial will not include the track. Maybe the boarding station will be kept but only time will tell. If possible, please keep filming footage of The Ultimate. Its destruction is part of its history, unfortunately, and should be documented for future coaster enthusiasts.

Wonderful video, and so sad to see something so iconic removed. Sadly we will never know the full reasons behind its removal (for example the costs they would have been quoted to bring it up to standard), however it is interesting to read that last year the Brighton Pier Group made £40M in revenue, LWV did not meet its expected targets (I wonder why), but it will not have cost them too much to have updated it compared to the cost it will be to remove and process its removal. When they removed their thrill rides it was the beginning of the end for LWV, sadly I can see them going the way of American Adventure, Camelot, and others within then next 2-3 years. The Ultimate was their signature, and last remaining hope of recovery, thats gone now.

I'd actually experienced riding the Ultimate and it was a very good Roller-coaster. Just like the removal of The Wild Mouse at Blackpool Pleasure Beach I believe removing the Ultimate is a very bad decision made. As it now stands for me, I've no purpose to want to visit Lite Water Valley any longer so alike Camalot, Lite Water Valley may as well close its doors 🚪permanently. It's a terrible loss for the UK 🇬🇧. Considering the factual history behind this ride when it was actually built back in 90's. Thanks again and take care from me Steve in Manchester 🇬🇧

Would love to see your drone footage near the tunnels just extend and hover over the main body of the woodland track. xx. So so so sad, the loss of this visionary coaster.

Given more time I’m sure this piece of coaster history, could have and should have been saved.🤬

Well this is truly heartbreaking, very sad to see this, they'll send up doing the track which they can get to before attempting to go for the much taller and larger bit, very sad and upsetting, thanks again Darren

Lightwater Valley most want their heads examined! Why get rid of your most popular and thrilling ride? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If it needs maintenance - do it! This theme park with lose out massively unless something even better takes it’s place.

As a coaster enthusiast as well as rail fan seing the only br built coaster being scrapped is sad. Atleast we have the spitfire class of steam locos left. I’m an American and still know a bit about br
