Hero is located at Flamingo Land Resort in North Yorkshire. The £8m Thrill Ride which opened in 2013 is the third flying roller coaster in the UK, after Gladiators Skytrak at Granada Studios and Air (now named Galactica) at Alton Towers.
Hero at Flamingo Land
In order to experience Hero, riders climb a small ladder into a cage in a standing position and are then tilted forward into a horizontal position to give the sensation of flying. The roller coaster features a unique spiral lift hill that raises the carriage and its riders to a height of 20 metres.
