Thorpe Park theme park has unveiled the largest roller coaster in the UK. It will be possible to ride it next year.

Now thrill-seekers can only look at what it will look like and imagine themselves in a booth. The Scottish Sun writes about the long-awaited extreme opening.

The new ride, codenamed Project Exodus, is expected to open next year, but the exact date has not yet been announced. The roller coaster at Thorpe Park will be the tallest in the UK, beating the previous record holder by only a foot. Their height will be 236 feet.

Once the ride is open to the public, it will also break speed records by reaching 81 miles per hour. An exciting ride and the feeling of free fall is guaranteed.
