Rollercoaster-style attraction planned for the Lake District

Available for over a year

Thousands of people have signed a petition opposing turning a Lake District quarry into a "theme park". Plans are being developed to install a rollercoaster-style ride, high-rope courses and zip lines at Elterwater quarry in Langdale Valley. Opponents said it was an "unsuitable" location and would increase traffic. Quarry owners Holker Group said it would become a "heritage attraction" and include educational elements about the area's geology.
