Granada Studio's also had another ride - a coaster called "Skytrack" - My friend runs an engineering company in Salford and they did a lot of work on Skytrack for them - I think it was a sort of mini "flying coaster" - I have no idea where it went once the tours closed though.

I never did get back. Didn't they have some Granada Studios type ride at some point as well? I remember I went the first year Nightmare Niagara opened but it wasn’t running that day – gutted!
