Skytrak

Skytrak was a flying roller coaster located at Granada Studios Tour amusement park in Castlefield, Manchester, England.

Opened in October 1997, it was the first flying roller coaster in the world,[1] in which riders were tilted forward to experience the sensation of flying.

It was named after an event from the Gladiators television series,[2] and was the only roller coaster constructed by Skytrak International, a subsidiary of Fairport Engineering.

[3] The ride was a "solo coaster" having only one person per car, which along with a complicated boarding process limited capacity to between 200 and 240 riders per hour.
