New thrill-seekers’ ride unveiled at Gulliver’s Valley
A
new ride aimed at thrill-seekers and older families has been unveiled at the new Gulliver’s Valley theme park in
Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The ‘Gyrosaur’ ride marks the latest addition
to the park at Rother Valley, which opened to the public in July 2020. Riders travel upside down on the ride,
which spins 360 degrees and can hold up to 12 people – eight under current physical distancing guidelines. Julie Dalton, managing director of Gulliver’s
Valley Theme Park Resorts, said: “We are so excited to have our new Gyrosaur ride in place here at Rother Valley.
“It’s a bigger ride for those with older
children who are looking for a thrill and so far, the feedback has been fantastic.” Ticket sales for the multi-million-pound resort have exceeded expectations, with many days already sold out and limited tickets available over the summer. Short-stay accommodation is also booming. Following recent changes to government
advice, the resort has been able to open some attractions in its indoor Dragon’s Lair area, which includes ten climbing walls on Dragon’s Peak, caving in Crimson Cave and a giant inflatable bounce course.
Bodmin Jail, UK to reopen with £8.5m Dark Walk experience
Historic site Bodmin Jail, located in Cornwall, UK, is set to reopen following an £8.5 million re-development. On 1 October, visitors can experience the new ‘’Dark Walk’, a first of
its kind attraction in Cornwall, which uses theatrical effects and the latest technology to transport visitors back to Cornwall’s murky past. Visitors get a first-hand experience of the penal life of a working 18th and 19th-century prison on the fringes of the windswept Bodmin Moor. Retold for 21st-century audiences, the haunting cinematic visual
experience will tell stories of smuggling, mining and the everyday hardships facing Cornwall’s poorest, including tales from infamous prisoners.
