FINALLY got a ride on The Tempest yesterday, at its newest home - Ligh****er Valley, under the name of The Black Pearl. Still looks the same!
I remember being at the park all them years ago, looking up at it. It looked about 200ft tall when I was a wee nipper, and I still remember that face on the backboard scaring the hell out of me!
Its quite a good ride actually, though the restraints certainly aren't the kindest :|

I rode it the other week, never realsied it was the same one at PWH. Thats awesome. I grabbed hold of the cage so i felt well safe! Still scared the crap outta me though!
Its odd just how much of a menacing ride it is really, especially as there's so many other twin inverting ships. Its probably because of how big it is.

I remember going on this when I was 13, I cried like hell. Was very scary and I agree it is a good ride. Shame it went...
