Butlin's Skegness adds new rides to its fairground including 'first of its kind' attraction

A number of new rides are among the new attractions at Butlin's in Skegness - including one which has been described as a 'first of its kind'. All four rides, included in a price of a holiday at the coastal resort, have been added to the fairground, reports Lincolnshire Live.

One of the new rides sends guests 15 metres into the air. The rides are in addition to the new £2.5m playground called SKYPARK.

As well as the new rides at the fairground, visitors can take part in go-karting and enjoy a go on the bungee trampoline - and dabble in the 'prize-every-time' games.

Here is a round-up of the new rides and what guests can expect on their next trip to the coast.

Eclipse

The first of its kind in the UK. Riders are seated back-to-back, with legs dangling below, as the two arms intertwine for a thrilling, gravity-driven experience.

Orbiter

Reach new heights with a bird’s-eye view of the Skegness resort as thrill seekers are lifted to the top of the 15-metre tower. Experience a series of ‘bounce and drop’ sequences, with the tower lighting up as you plunge back down.

Santa Fe Train

Inspired by Butlin’s archives, this classic train ride with four covered carriages offers a gentle and enjoyable journey for all ages.

Super Swing

Tots through to teens will feel the rush as this larger-than-life swing swoops 27 degrees. This stomach-floating ride lights up as it accelerates and will be a new favourite.
