Launched in June 2015 to international acclaim, the Cú Chulainn Coaster was hailed as a record-breaking addition to the European theme park scene. Built at a cost of over €10 million, the coaster stands 32.05 metres high, drops a stomach-churning 31 metres, and reaches speeds of up to 100km/h over its 1,082-metre track. Constructed with more than 800,000 kilograms of southern yellow pine, over 100 tonnes of steel, and fastened with 700,000 nails and bolts, it remains a bucket-list experience for thrill-seekers around the globe.
Since opening, over 8 million guests have braved the legendary coaster and now, for the first time ever, they can capture their reactions on video as they ride The Cú Chulainn Coaster, with brand new on-ride recording now available.
Managing Director of Emerald Park, Charles Coyle said, “The Cú Chulainn Coaster has been at the heart of Emerald Park for the last decade and continues to be a massive draw for guests from Ireland and abroad. This 10 year milestone is a celebration of all the thrills, laughter and unforgettable memories shared on this iconic coaster. We’re incredibly proud of what it represents and there’s no better way to mark the occasion than by giving back to our guests with a €10,000 celebration full of fun, surprises and prizes.”
So whether you're a first-time rider or a seasoned thrill-chaser, Emerald Park invites everyone to join the celebration with 10 days of big prizes, heart-racing adventure, and nonstop entertainment.
“Designing the Cú Chulainn Coaster was a truly special project for us at The Gravity Group. We set out to create a world class wooden rollercoaster that combined thrilling intensity with a uniquely Irish story and it’s been incredible to see it embraced by millions of riders over the past 10 years,” said Korey Kiepert, rollercoaster designer and founding partner at The Gravity Group. “Seeing Cú Chulainn Coaster become a landmark attraction in Europe and a point of pride for Emerald Park is immensely rewarding. Here’s to the next decade of thrills!”
