The Odyssey is the highest Suspended Looping Coaster (SLC) in the whole globe according to Vekoma. It is the third highest roller coaster in the UK, rising 167 feet (51 metres) in height.

Fun Fact: 167ft High, 62 mph, 2924ft long, 124ft vertical loop

High winds prevent it from operating when gusts exceed 25 to 30 mph in some directions because of the greater risk of the train stalling.

Station area

The stated cost of its construction, £28 million, is the costliest of any roller coaster ever constructed in the UK.

Odyssey’s First Drop

The five-inversion rollercoaster is driven by a £4 million dung-powered generator, which converts manure into methane gas.
