Paultons Park Sets May 16 Opening for £12 Million Viking Land Featuring First Inverting Coaster

The £12 million expansion shifts the family park toward older thrill-seekers.

Overview

  • Drakon will be the park’s first inverting rollercoaster, built with a vertical lift hill and two upside-down elements.
  • Valgard adds the Vild Swing, a thrill ride that propels and spins riders 12 metres into the air.
  • The existing Cobra coaster is being reimagined as Raven to align with the new Viking theme.
  • Ride testing for Drakon and Vild Swing has begun, with pathways, landscaping, and statues in place according to the park.
  • The land includes a Viking-themed playground and a new Feasting Hall restaurant, with teasers drawing strong social media engagement and pushing the park’s lineup past 80 attractions.
