Description

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mesmoland/sets/72157633153720341/ Astro Storm is an enclosed, sit down roller coaster at Fun City in Brean,Somerset, England. It was formerly located at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in England as Space Invader 2. Space Invader opened on August 21, 1984, and was Blackpool Pleasure Beach's fourth steel roller coaster. The ride itself was constructed by Zierer, a German ride manufacturer. The original ride was similar to the ride as it is today, although it was known to be a much rougher ride. It was refurbished in 2003 by KumbaK Coasters and reopened in 2004 as "Space Invader 2". In September 2008, the ride closed following a failed evacuation during operating hours. They closed the ride due to the cost it needed to reopen. The ride was removed in June 2010. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Storm
