RIP The Ultimate and I can’t believe they are getting rid of the coaster and it’s part of the heritages in North Yorkshire

Brighton pier group and it's millionaire shareholder should be ashamed of themselves. Did you see where the cars were taken?
@MatthewWilkinson Жыл бұрын
No, I wish I had stayed and filmed that part longer. Not sure why it's not just being left SBNO. Those trains won't fit any other coaster and it will cost a lot to demolish.

@@MatthewWilkinson I would like to think they'd auction ride parts/vehicles etc to the theme park enthusiasts community. You are right about the demolition costs too - these owners are short sighted. They could have saved this ride. I secretly think they want to sell the land. One theory is that they will only remove track that is visible and leave the left to rot. Urggh, Brighton Pier Group anger me.

@@danlightfoot6592 Same, none of it makes sense, they clearly won't be using that land. Also I bet it wouldnt of cost as much to get it operational again as much as it will cost to remove it.

What on earth are they thinking? The Ultimate was the main reason why a lot of people went to Lightwater Valley! More "family orientated" - people want better rides!
@SaltburnJurassic 8 ай бұрын
Some of the rides like Raptor Attack was a family / Dinosaur fan ride and yet, they sadly removed it!

I hope they close down its a disgrace what they are doing. They've ruined this park. We went 2 3 times a year for the Ultimate and Raptor Attack. Seeing this brings tears. I really do hope they lose a shit load and have to close the park

Agree, this park used to be such a vibe in the 90s when I used to go as a kid. Fancy removing the parks icon, they won't last.

I can understand why they want to remove it. It doesn’t meet the stricter safety standards. It literally uses train sleepers so over time the rails have shifted
@MatthewWilkinson Жыл бұрын
They could rectify that though probably for less than it costs to remove it.
@garethwilson9592 Жыл бұрын
It can't all solely fall on Brighton pier group why has it never been sorted in the past it's needed a tractor to get in the station so it's obviously not been maintained well its so sad as its a phenomenal ride 😢 😞
@MatthewWilkinson Жыл бұрын
I agree to a degree though it was operational in 2019, so they've left it since then. Surely it would be cheaper to get it working than demolition.
