Cannonball Express, Steel roller coaster at Pleasurewood Hills, Suffolk, England

The Cannonball Express features a compact figure-eight layout with red track and supports, reaching heights of 16 meters across its 529-meter track length.

Manufactured in 1983 for a German traveling fair, the coaster operated at multiple locations including Meli Park in Belgium before settling at Pleasurewood Hills in 1995.

The ride underwent a mine train theme transformation upon its installation at Pleasurewood Hills, reflecting the industrial heritage of British entertainment parks.

The roller coaster accommodates eight riders per train and maintains a maximum speed of 54 kilometers per hour during its two-minute journey.

This Schwarzkopf Jumbo V model remains the only one ever manufactured, making it a rare example of 1980s German engineering.
