At the close of the Exhibition, Collins purchased the ride for Pleasure Beach and it was dismantled, shipped to England and erected in the park.

Like most scenic railways, it was originally clad in plaster and concrete sculpted to resemble mountainous terrain.

The track length is 982.40 metres (3,223.1 feet),[7][better source needed] [8] which makes this ride the second longest scenic railway in the world.

The ride is often called a side-friction coaster, which is misleading as the train makes no contact with the side walls of the track and the running wheels are flanged like those of railway vehicles.

A copy of the ride was made by the Collins', which ended up at their amusement park in Barry Island, where it operated from 1940 until 1973.

Part of the music video for the 1982 single House of Fun by Madness was filmed at the Pleasure Beach with the band seen riding on the Roller Coaster.
