Skytrak was a short-lived steel flying roller coaster located at Granada Studios in Manchester, England, UK.
The ride was the first flying coaster, in which passengers lie on their stomachs and look towards the ground.[1]
History
Skytrak was going to open in the summer of 1997, but it had maintenance issues. Because of this, the opening was delayed to October 1997. At that time, it was briefly operating.
In 1998, Skytrak was fully operating. Unfortunately, that same year, Granada Studios closed its doors for good. After that, Skytrak was permanently scrapped.[2]
