Flying Fish (roller coaster) 1.33

The Flying Fish is a powered steel roller coaster located at Thorpe Park in Surrey. The ride was known as Space Station Zero upon opening in 1982, until being moved outdoors in 1990. It was removed in 2005 to make way for Stealth, a new roller coaster built for 2006, only to be reinstalled in 2007 in a different location.HistorySpace Station Zero opened in 1982 at Thorpe Park in England and was Thorpe Park's first roller coaster, themed as a journey from a space station into dark outer space. It was designed by Keith Sparks. The ride was concealed in a show building, disguised behind a Georgian-style facade in Thorpe Park's Central Area.After boarding, the train travelled around a bend before being launched into space through a tunnel of flashing lights. The ride did two laps of the track, the first in the dark and the second lit by glitter balls to appear as stars. The attraction closed in 1989 before being moved outside and renamed The Flying Fish. In 2005 the ride was removed in to make room for the construction of Stealth.Flying Fish was reinstalled in 2007. It is located in the Amity area between Depth Charge and Tidal Wave. The ride opened on March 10, 2007 with a new colour scheme, on-ride camera, and new lap bar restraints.
