#BoardwalkCoasters

2023-02-16

I have a theory that #rollercoasters perform better when built next to the ocean. Must be all that salt air.

Skyways was a Galaxi S.D.C. model roller coaster that operated at Clarence Pier in Portsmouth, UK from 1980 until 2017. The original plan for Skyways was to disassemble and refurbish it in time to reopen in 2020, but.....that didn't happen.

A view from a middle car of Skyways.  The train is about to drop down the biggest hill, so riders are seen from behind, a few with their hands up in anticipation of the drop.  To the right and behind the ride is a large body of water with a few boats in the distance.  To the left and behind the rest of the park can be seen.
