Funk'n'Fly

Funk'n'Fly was part of The Retro Squad and one of four temporary new additions in 2021 to help bolster the park's line-up in the wake of COVID-19, whilst several mainstay attractions are unable to operate at full capacity.

The original version of Funk'n'Fly was on loan from showman David Irvin and it was expected to operate for just one season on the spot once occupied by Ripsaw. However, whilst the original Funk'n'Fly went back onto the fair circuit at the end of 2021, by popular demand the park hired a new model of the same ride, directly from the manufacturer, to fill the spot the following season. The new model had slightly different dimensions, but was ostensibly the same, though sporting a slightly different colour scheme.

The new version of Funk'n'Fly remained in the park until the end of 2023, before returning to the fair circuit when The Retro Squad's time in the park ended.
