===Valhalla Facts===
At a cost of £15million, it is Britain's biggest privately funded millennium investment.

Valhalla is built on the site of the famous Fun House, which was destroyed by fire in 1991.

Many of the specially-created 'show action' effects have never before been used on amusement park rides.

Valhalla incorporates fire, water, snow, thunder and lightning effects with riders experiencing extremes of temperature from minus 20C to 110F.

More than 100,000 gallons of water a minute is used to propel up to 2,000 riders per hour.

The man-made waterfall spanning 30 metres cascades at 12,000 gallons per minute and is continuously recycled.

Main Opinion

The theme and the effects are just amazing! Especially the fire effects! The ice room is also good, as is the tunnel of water.

One part of the ride which is great is where you move a hill which you can see leads to nowhere. You then stop and start thinking 'what the hell is going on?' when it turns it's back end and you fall down backwards! You get soaked-but it's great!

This ride is very long-lasting which is also another plus point as you will not want it to end.

For an indoor water-ride some of the drops are quite big which is good but I think the whole family will love this rid- if you're tall enough.

You must visit this ride if you are going to Blackpool- you go from wet to cold to hot to your stomach feeling funny...there isn't much more a ride can offer. 10/10
