Knightmare, the UK’s most eagerly awaited new rollercoaster of 2007, is NOW OPEN !!

Knightmare, a three million pound ride, will subject you to more g force than any other rollercoaster in the UK, pulling 5Gs at some points.

Knightmare is over half a mile long, full of twists, turns and steep drops and lasts just under two minutes. The highest point is 87 feet and it reaches speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour.

One of Knightmare’s many highlights is a mid-ride plunge nicknamed ‘the psycho drop’, after which riders are subject to extreme g forces.  A height restriction of 1.3 metres will apply.

What people are saying:

Andy Hine, MBE, Chairman of the Roller Coaster Club of Great Britain, said: “This ride is something special. It’s highly rated by roller coaster fans, not just for its height and speed, but due to the fact that it’s a really intense ride with non-stop action for the whole two minutes. It’s a classic roller coaster, one of only two of its kind in the world, that’s guaranteed to leave a long-lasting impression.” 

Roy Page, Prime Resorts’ Chief Executive, said: “We expect Knightmare to attract many thousands of visitors to Camelot who have never been before. It will provide a world class ride experience unlike anything else in the UK and is a fantastic new addition to the park.”
