Astro Storm is an enclosed, sit down roller coaster at Brean Theme Park. The roller coaster ride plunges riders into the depths of space, experiencing 2Gs in pitch black drops while spinning through meteor storms in an intergalactic battle full of amazing special effects and surprises.
Astro Storm at Brean Theme Park
Astro Storm is the former Space Invader and later Space Invader 2 roller coaster ride, which operated at Blackpool Pleasure Beach between 1984 and 2008. In a similar manner to when the ride was located at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, it is an indoor roller coaster that operates in darkness and incorporates futuristic outer space effects. Before 2003, when it was the original Space Invader at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the ride cars carried four people who were restrained by a seatbelt but the ride cars were changed to three-man bobs with a T-bar restraint when the ride was upgraded to Space Invader 2.

Astro Storm History
Before opening at Brean Theme Park in 2011, Astro Storm was located at Blackpool Pleasure Beach where it was called Space Invader. The ride first opened at Blackpool in 1984 and was their fourth steel roller coaster. Constructed by Zierer, a German ride manufacturer, the original ride was not too dissimilar to what you experience today. Whilst at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the ride was refurbished in 2003 and reopened in 2004 as “Space Invader 2”. In 2008, the ride closed and was removed in 2010 and sold to Brean Theme Park who refurbished the ride and reopened it as Astro Storm.
