Review

Come and take a ride on The Ladybird! This small children's rollercoaster is perfect for the young ones as they can experience small drops and a little speed. The Ladybird will take you on a journey on her twisting track.

Riders will board in a nicely themed ladybird train and pull out of the station and onto the lift hill. The train will then swoop down a twisting drop, creating a nice thrill for youngsters. Going back up the track, the Ladybird will take a small helix and up round the corner, heading back into the station. However, the ride doesn't stop there!

Riders are sent round the track a second time, allowing you take in the excitement again. This is great rollercoaster if speed and heights isn't your thing.

The track is a nice shade, if not a little faded, of red and has green supports which contrast well with the theme. The ride has decent theming for a children's ride at least, ladybirds are on the surrounding fences which is a nice touch. The Ladybird is a rollercoaster with a twist!

Overall The Ladybird takes you on a swooping and twisting journey. Let's hope that she doesn't fly away!
