70m Star Flyer for the UK

[Martyn B]

Mellors have purchased a 70m (246ft) Star Flyer, that will become the tallest ride ever to travel the UK fair circuit. It used to be at Wiener Prater apparently.

This is it:

Good on Mellors for bringing something like this to the UK! And they're the ones that now own/travel the Runaway Mine Train from American Adventure. Its good to see different rides like this being used on our fair circuit.

Love the unsociable seating <3

I really don't like Star Flyer's though. Once you get over the whole "WOW, I'm SO high up" feeling, they're actually a really dull experience and can be very boring.

That's actually the first Star Flyer ever made.
I'm pretty sure it's not transportable tough, where are they planning on running it?

^ They're a travelling fair company, so it will travel with all their rides. It currently being on a permanent base wont stop them though, as they made this permanent coaster into a travelling coaster:
