Wild West Family Rollercoaster is a steel kiddie roller coaster built by UK manufacturer Supercar currently owned & travelled by UK showman John Lawrence Whittle.
History
This coaster is first thought to have operated at a Butlin's holiday camp, although which one is not currently known. From here it went to Rainbow Park in Hunstanton, Norfolk.
Thomas Jones then operated the coaster at Dudley Zoological Gardens in the West Midlands. It was called American and operated at the park until 2009. It had yellow track and red supports.
Subsequently, it was acquired by Matthew Danter who began operating it as a travelling coaster. The ride operated at Barry Island Pleasure Park from 2010 to 2011. It has since been refurbished and renamed Wild West. The coaster was purchased by John Lawrence Whittle in March 2018.
Design
Oval track layout.
Trains
