An Bord Pleanála has given the green light to Tayto Park’s new €15.5million ‘Coaster 2021’ rollercoaster.
The grant of permission by the appeals board clears the way for the construction of the rollercoaster which is made up of a 31 metre high and 748 metre long Suspended Thrill Coaster (STC) and a 24.2 metre high 238 metre long Family Boomerang (FB) ride.
The decision brings to an end a two-year, four-month planning battle by Tayto Park owner Raymond Coyle to secure planning permission for the new attraction.
Tayto Park, Irelands only theme park and zoo, announced approval on two new steel intertwining rollercoasters which will begin construction in 2021 to open to the public in 2023. The rollercoasters, which represent a total investment of 15million by the park, will create 40 new jobs in the area.
