UK Dinosaur Park ROARR! Opens New “Fossil Falls” Attraction
(eap) The British dinosaur adventure park ROARR! in Lenwade, Norfolk, officially opened its latest attraction, “Fossil Falls”, this past weekend. The attraction is a 107-metre-long tubing slide of the “Modislide” product type supplied by Dutch company Swedice. It combines a Neveplast tubing slide with a modular substructure that allows for an individual and adaptable course layout.
Riders descend a vertical drop of 14 metres on inflatable tubes. Along the way, they pass through a twelve-metre-long tunnel before reaching an almost vertical, four-metre-long braking ramp that ensures a controlled run-out. The theoretical capacity is 212 persons per hour using “Medium Tubes” or 390 persons per hour using “Maxi Tubes”.
The park invested a total of 250,000 British pounds (around 294,000 euros) in the new attraction, which expands the offering of the more than 85 acres (approx. 34 hectare) dinosaur park. “Fossil Falls is a fantastic new addition to ROARR! […] We’re always looking at ways to invest in and improve the ROARR! experience for our visitors, and Fossil Falls is a brilliant example of that, adding real value for the families who choose to spend their day making memories with us,” said Park Director Ben Francis. ■
