TRIPS: New ride for thrill seekers

CAMELOT Theme Park's new ride, The Quintain, is not for the weak-hearted.

Thrill seekers will love the tilting, revolving metal ring which travels at high speeds in twin-seater carriages 50 feet above the ground.

Keeping with the medieval theme of the Chorley park, the stomach-churning ride has been named after a game from the Middle Ages.

Nick Hall, Prime Resorts chief executive, said: "Camelot is ranked number 10 in the country's most popular theme parks. We have very exciting plans that will make the entire leisure complex one of the country's most popular destination resorts." .
