Lightwater Valley at Lightwater Valley Theme Park & Shopping
Set in 175 acres of gorgeous North Yorkshire Parkland - just North of Ripon - Lightwater Valley Theme Park, Shopping Village and Birds of Prey Centre is renowned for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
The thrilling theme park line-up comprises some amazing rides, including Europe's longest rollercoaster - The Ultimate, as well as the stomach churning, mighty Eagle's Claw and the splashtastic Wild River Rapids. Plus, new for the 2010 season, dare you step aboard the terrifying Whirlwind or risk a one-on-one encounter in Raptor Attack's abandoned mineshaft?
Located in the grounds of Lightwater Valley Theme Park, you'll also find an awe-inspiring Birds of Prey Centre. Visitors also have the opportunity to see how these amazing birds are trained and handled, as well as being treated to dramatic flying shows at 2:00pm and 4:00pm every day. Oh, and if you have time, don't forget that Lightwater shopping village is open all year round and is home to an oasis of retail therapy that appeals to all ages and tastes.
NEW FOR 2010
Deep underground, lain dormant and undiscovered for millions of years, this once abandoned mineshaft has been re-awakened ….
This year, feel the terror as you enter the abyss of darkness that is the subterranean underworld of Raptor Attack - our brand new roller coaster experience for 2010.
As you take the terrifying walk down into the bowels of this cold, dark mineshaft, the hair stands up on the back of your neck as you sense a creature watching you from the folds of darkness. Did you imagine it? What was that noise? Was that breath on the back of my neck? Is something following me?
Then, as your disused mine train speeds through the long forgotten tunnels, nobody hears you scream as your voice echoes against the cold, dark rock face and you wonder if you'll ever see daylight again.
Raptors once ruled the earth - maybe they're still here!
