Speed: No Limits
Speed: No Limits was a Steel [roller coaster|steel] roller coaster at Oakwood Theme Park in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was manufactured by Gerstlauer and was the first Euro-Fighter model to be installed in the United Kingdom. The ride was installed by Ride Entertainment Group. It opened on 13 April 2006, and operated until 3 November 2024. It has since been relocated to Walygator Sud-Ouest.
Its lift hill was 35 metres, and it featured top speeds of 95 km/h. The ride had two inversions, and exerted a maximum of 4.5 Gs on riders.
It featured a vertical chain lift hill and a 97° first drop. This drop gave it a five-way tie for the record of steepest roller coaster drop between itself, Rage, Fahrenheit, SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge, Vild-Svinet and Typhoon, until Steel Hawg took the record in 2008.
Trains
The ride had four trains, each consisting of two rows with four across seating, for a total of eight riders per train. The trains featured over-the-shoulder restraints.
Ride experience
Upon dispatch from the station, the train took a right turn before entering the 35 metre vertical chain lift hill. This was followed by a 34 metre beyond vertical 97° first drop at 95 km/h. The train traversed a camel bump hill, then an overbanked turn at an angle of 110° into a vertical loop, and then rose up into a block brake section. The train then descended a small dip, which followed into a heartline roll. The train then turned left with a slight incline before entering a double helix into the final brake run. The train then turned right to return to the station. A full ride experience on Speed: No Limits lasted approximately one minute and 30 seconds.
