Per this post on CoasterForce, a memo sent out to staff reveals a few more details of what to expect in the Viking area...
2026
Edit: The following coaster models come to mind...
(The new Family LSM Intamin is only 1.0m
)
2026
- New coaster with a 1.2m height restriction
- 'UK first' second ride
- New ride replacing the Go Karts
Edit: The following coaster models come to mind...
- Most likely: New gen Vekoma, likely with a launch akin to Formula or Abyssus
- Less likely: Intamin Hot Racer - not sure Paultons would want the 1 across seating
- Least likely: GCI Wooden coaster with inversion - a less tried and tested model

With that new Intamin Family Thrill LSM, I believe 1m is the bare minimum they're able to have the height restriction at.Per this post on CoasterForce, a memo sent out to staff reveals a few more details of what to expect in the Viking area...

I'm not surprised this is at least a 2 phase project. Exciting few years ahead!

I'm not sure there are other inverting 1.2m options, other than something strange like Mandrill Mayhem? ... or dare I say RMC?!

I'd imagine they will recommend higher on a case by case basis in terms of it's intensity.
I'm genuinely curious what these other rides will be - could they mean a water ride, flat ride, dark ride or an additional coaster.
I wouldn't be surprised if Phase 1 is the coaster and a water ride (Launched Flume or Mack Rocking Boat) whilst the Go Karts site is a dark ride where more time is needed to build.
I wonder if this means major rides or if flat rides are counted separately.
