Got this new info from their website:

"Funderworld is back in Bristol from the 3rd to the 18th April 2009.

And ringing in the changes brings back a familiar friend the Frisbee and two new white knuckle rides – Vertical limits (the only such ride in the UK) and Remix – extreme speed for ultra fast ride enthusiasts.

With over 26 attractions, food units and Bar, live music entertainment all set within a fenced and secured site with safety and first aid staffs and with prices set to 2007 levels Funderworld is the place to visit this Easter."

I'de really recommend Funderworld; it has loads of cool rides and a nice, friendly atmosphere. Does anyone know what type of rides these new ones are? There's no pictures on the site Sad

I wonder what Remix is. I'm guessing Vertical Limits is a travelling Sky Coaster.

Good stuff  Very Happy .... they usually come along to Bournemouth in August, so i'll look forward to that.

Is the RCCGB discount (£1 off) still valid this year does anyone know?

I have just had a look at the website and I can't see Remix or Vertical Limits, the only new ride for Bristol I can see is the Tango, which is simular to Bling at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

It is a great travelling theme park and I would highly recommend it, as I have been several times.

If you book online you can get 10% off, however I am not sure about the RCCGB discount.

Wristband prices are £2.99 for under 1.1 metres, £4.99 for 1.1 to 1.4 metres and £10.99 for over 1.4 metres.

Sessions are from 1 pm to 5 pm and 5 pm to 9 pm.

A Tango is a cross between a Mondial Top Scan like Samurai at Thorpe Park and Bling at Blackpool

Doing a quick google search it seems the Remix is an Extreme Orbitor by Tivoli. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9wL2WX-FLg

I'm sure they had one of those at Clarence Pier last year? I'll have to check if its still there.

I think it's gone, it was owned by someone else who leased it to Clarence Pier, think it's gone abroad somewhere.

Seems Vertical Limit is another big spin n spew. Not too dissimilar to a round up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMnDAZ-8x3U

Your right magic its not a ride seen very much as its the only one in the uk. It rides like a round up but more inclosed (rode at Luna park i think).
