    • FEBRUARY 24TH 2007 : BLACKHOLE DEPARTS AT LAST
      The Blackhole, which closed in 2005, has finally left the X Sector this week. It is not known where the ride is destined to end up, but it is good to see the park finally remove the coaster which had spent much of 2006 sitting in pieces outside of its tent.

      When the The Blackhole closed in 2005 it had thrilled riders for 21 years, being one of the first coasters to be built at the park arriving in 1984.
