Mark took us out for a hour and we had great fun...my husband loves anything extreme and loved it and both my boys aged 9 and 7 also had great fun...im a bit more sedate but it was also great for me too.

Will definitely go again and was worth the drive and the money we spent. Thanks " More >

There is a buffet service on board but we didn't partake as we thought it rather expensive after paying over £20 for the fare. That said the journey was well worth the cost.
