Loudoun Castle is a developing theme park
set around the ruins of Loudoun Castle in Galston
in the Loudoun
area, South-West Scotland
.
The park opened in 1995
and has since been through the hands of showman Raymond Codona to its current owner, Henk Bembom.
Loudoun Castle features three roller coasters
, "Rat" which is a Maurer Söhne
Wild Mouse
, "Wacky Worm" - a junior coaster by I.E. Park and perhaps the star attraction, a Schwarzkopf
Silverarrow named "Twist N' Shout".
Also in the park are various other thrill rides
including the "Loggers Leap" log flume
, "Black Pearl" inverter ship, the "Captains Wheel" enterprise ride and "The Plough", the largest Chair-O-Planes
ride in the world.
From the start, the parks mascot has been Rory the Lion.
