After months of anticipation and this morning’s VIP launch event, Aviktas officially opened at 2pm today. The ride has been under construction for many months and has been universally praised upon its debut.
Taking riders to heights of 138 feet at an angle of 120 degrees, it is the largest Gyro Swing in the country.
The new attraction represents an investment of £8.72m and is the first major new ride at the park since Icon.
Amanda Thompson OBE spoke to the Blackpool Gazette at the launch event.
