Fasten your seatbelts for a fangtastic family flight that everyone will be batty about, a must for all thrill fiends, from little vampires cutting their coaster teeth to big thrill suckers!
The Vampire is a doubly-bat-tastic world first with riders suspended and swinging at the same time!
FUN FACT: Vampire’s organists face was based on an old Phil Collins wax figure. The designer, John Wardley, has also worked on other rides such as Nemesis at Alton Towers.
Adventurers must be a minimum of 1.1m tall to ride.
Adventurers between 1.1m and 1.3m must be accompanied by an adult 16 years or over to ride.
There are two lift hills during the course of the ride, the ride getting more intense after the second lift as it whips over the top of the main Wild Woods area and diving through a tunnel creating a swing outwards.
It originally operated with closed bottom cars, but these were replaced for the 2002 season after Vampire stood not operating, and it now runs with new Vekoma floorless trains giving a very different experience.
The ride layout was designed by John Wardley and the theme design by British firm Sparks Creative Services.
The Roller Coaster takes place almost entirely through a forest.
Vampire is fang-tastic and once bitten, you’ll want to fly again and again…
..and again!
