Greenwood Forest Park

NGR SH533671

A short double incline used at Greenwood Forest Park to raise the roller coaster empty cars to the start of the ride. The passengers weight provides the energy to lift the train. The wheels are unflanged but a central T rail acts as a guide to keep the train on track and is used for braking. It was constructed in approx. 2004 by WGH transportation Engineering of Doncaster.
