The United Kingdom has been entertaining the public with its amazing
selection of parks and roller coasters since the late 19th century. This
book features in-depth profiles of 80 roller coasters, from the
7,442-foot Ultimate in Lightwater Valley to Thorpe Park's Stealth, which
goes from 0 to 80 mph in 1.9 seconds. A compelling series of
photographs, gathered from 38 of Great Britain's most famous amusement
parks, includes many behind-the-scenes perspectives and rare views that
prove these compelling structures are not merely fun rides but also
mechanically magnificent and, at times, visually stunning machines.
Covering the length and breadth of the UK, this photographic and
historic guide takes you from Brighton up to Glasgow, and from Gwynedd
over to Great Yarmouth and provides the ultimate adrenaline rush.
