Speed (sometimes called Speed: No Limits) is a steel roller coaster located at Oakwood Theme Park in Narberth, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK. It is a custom Euro-Fighter installation from Gerstlauer and the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in Wales. It was also the tallest and fastest Eurofighter until the opening of Fluch von Novgorod at Hansa Park.
It is one of two major roller coasters at the park, the other being Megafobia.

Layout[edit | edit source]
The ride begins with a vertical chain lift hill, which is immediately followed by the beyond-vertical drop, an element found on all Euro-Fighter roller coasters. An airtime hill and an overbanked 180° turnaround follows. The vertical loop is next, which is followed by a rise into the mid-course brake run. The heartline roll is subsequently taken at low speed before the track curves downward. The car continues to gain speed as it manoeuvres the downward helix which leads into the final brakes.
Trains[edit | edit source]
Single car trains. Riders are arranged 4 across in 2 rows for a total of 8 riders per car. Riders are secured by over-the-shoulder harnesses.
