Name Bling Opened 2004 Closed 2011 Manufacturer Zierer Model Star Shape
Bling arrived in 2004, the final addition under the stewardship of Geoffrey Thompson OBE. Built by Zierer of Germany, it was the second Star Shape ride to built overall – the prototype debuted a year earlier.
The Star Shape model is named for the spinning star shaped gondola that seats 30 riders on six cars, at one end of a 30 metre pendulum, capable of turning 360-degrees.
The dizzying movements of the ride created quite a spectactle, however at night the visuals were turned up to eleven with a spectacular lighting package, culminating with a huge strobe effect when the the ride reach its highest point.
Time was called on the ride in 2011.
