Makes a LOT more sense than wanting to visit "Taytoland" for foreigners. Tying the park into the rich Irish history is a perfect fit for it.

Finally some decent coasters in Ireland, it's something we've had to go aboard to experience since time began. Hopefully they expand even further.

God, I wish this place existed when I was a kid. Emerald Park is Ireland's first theme park. We have amusement parks, sure, but there's nothing you find in them that you wouldn't find in any town fair anywhere in Europe or America. Emerald Park is the only one that's broken that pattern and given us what 12 year old me would have died for. They really have done a wonderful job and I hope their investment pays off, these coasters look incredible. Think I need to take a look at the weather forecast and get myself down there.

Great bumping into you and chatting at the event. We were told it's pronounced 'Na Fienna Force'. The ride surpassed my expectations, I wasn't expecting this second iteration of Suspended Thrill Coaster to offer intense positive G's, extreme banking, snappier Taron style moments and ejector, which although they were not quite as extreme as Taron's ejector, they were still utterly berserk and unexpected for what is essentially an inverted coaster with lap bars (which are honestly incredible for an invert to have and I hope we see more of these pop up). Easily my favourite inverted coaster, dethroning Nemesis with ease. Here's hoping that it brings in a lot of visitors internationally, because it's a special coaster and one that I think will get a lot of people wanting their home parks to start planning for similar Suspended Thrill Coasters. This ride and I'm sure Hals Uber Kopf prove that modern inverted coasters can go utterly batshit... let's hope that B&M follow suit!

Looks like a very solid edition to the park. Theming looks solid it most areas. Would be nice to see some themed queue and ride area fences but that seems to be the trend with the new coasters this year.

Ай бұрын

Yeah I’m not a fan of just plain fencing but there was quite a bit unfinished around The Quest and other features in the middle. More to be added over time for sure

Great, honest review. It looks an excellent ride experience, so hopefully there's an increase in visitor numbers to match their ambition. The question now is, will Gold Rush at DM be finished before they open it? I don't know about tou, but I'd rather wait for the opening in order to get the full immersive experience. This trend of opening a coaster with incomplete theming looks like it's here to stay though, as the parks seek to recoup their investment as soon as they can ..

@LiftHillsandThrills

Ай бұрын

I'd rather wait too but sometimes with certain seasonal things places rush to get it open so it can start recouping that investment as you say. Paultons seem to buck the trend with that one and open an attraction finished!

This expansion is going to look fantastic when all the trees grow in. For such a small park they really have done a great job of this land. I would of liked to see them carry the theming more into the gift shop and not just had plain white ceilings etc, but the rest of the area looks pretty nice. With all those walls along the entrance to the land is that room for further expansion or just hiding the view into the rest of the park? The main coaster looks like a riot! About the only thing I think that could add to that experience? Would be onboard audio of Celtic drums sinked to the pacing of the ride.
