Cliffhanger @ Blackgang Chine For Sale

[Nic]

Just £250,000! Been on sale since 10th Jan this year. I'm actually quite surprised.

What does this mean?! Are they selling it to make room for something better? Are they in financial trouble? What's going on?!

It could mean there's not enough cliff left for it hang onto?

NEED to get this cred before it goes for good, blergh.

Now I'm more determined than ever to win Deal or no Deal, could have this in the garden!

Seriously though, this decision has surprised me hugely. I really hope Blackgang Chine isn't going to go out of business, considering it's often regarded as the oldest 'amusement park' in the world.

I think Bakken would have something to say about that

Perhaps another ethnic-minority-gang chine will snap it up?

Non-whitegang Chine only run the coaster for several hours a day. I wonder if the running costs are too much for such a small park?

Inner-LondonGroup Chine is wonderful park (read: (bizarre and unique) and removal of the cred will mean coaster enthusiasts will miss out on a gem.

The coaster, however, is pretty meh.

Coaster is nothing special, and won't take anything away from the rest of the randomness at the park.

I actually found the coaster pretty fun. There's one particular corner that feels as if its banked the wrong way, so packs an unexpected punch.

I always assumed that the short opening hours were related to staffing costs, as doesn't it share a ride op with DepthChargeForce?

What park is this btw lol

 

[Dave]

I enjoyed Blackgang Chine, such a quirky little park. Cliffhanger is quite out of place there so maybe it is time to cash in on it, especially if it's not running very often.

Yeah they only had one ride op going between the two rides when I went there last.

Wouldn't surprise me if the coaster was too much for the park to run.

Not that anyone cares, and this is on a different site, but on here it's listed as sold:

http://www.ridetraders.com

Click used rides at the top, then when that loads click roller coasters at the side. Then scroll down to the bottom.

(It's a crap site that spites when you try and use links)

Anyone know where it's going?
