Opened in 1999, Stormforce 10 is the the UK's first reverse chute water ride with 3 drops - 25ft, 40ft and 60ft, the second drop taking you backwards.
The ride was built by BEAR GmbH (BEst Amusement Rides).
What is so special about SF10 is that it would be the first time the park attempted real theming for anything other than a dark ride, and would be the first ride ever built by BEAR GmbH, a Swiss firm started by ex-Intamin employees. It would be the first time the park claimed a “world first”, although rumours of this being some sort of inversion were swiftly dashed when it was revealed that Storm Force 10 would be the first ever ride to be endorsed by a charity. The charity in question was the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, or RNLI, which obviously lent itself very nicely to the concept of the ride.
Returning back for the 2018 season, the UK's
