ITS BACK ON!in a claim that has been taken straight from BPB (only coaster completely over water) and Fantasy islands (largest coaster to circum-navigate a building)PR handbook!Biggest rollercoaster over water in the world! Southend Pier in Epic plans Epic World Leisure's managing director Tony Garner said that he can find the £50 million needed to develop Southend Pier. The ambitious new plans for the landmark include a shore-end pavilion, cinema, museum, new railway station, viewing tower and the biggest rollercoaster over water in the world. |

Kinda heard this story before many times. Will belive it when I see it. Sounds good if they can pull it off though.

yes wasnt planning stopped at one point?? Wasnt it going to be called the Swine? |

I gather it got planning permission, but that was withdrawn as there were fears they didn't have the money to complete the job and the council didn't want half a coaster built. And yep I think it was called the Swine.
This story is a bit like the Half Pipe/ Woodie at Flamingoland and the "Worlds Tallest" coaster allegedly planned for Blackpool. |

Be nice if the coaster does appear but I cannot hold out much hope | ||

It would depend on the finacial side of things and wether they if could find the space for it.
I wouldn't hold out much hope either. Website: www.flickr.com/happyhelen/sets Blackpool Bash added |
