Flying Fish, Steel family roller coaster in Thorpe Park, England.
Flying Fish is a steel roller coaster at Thorpe Park featuring a figure-eight layout with a single helix turn. The ride has a blue track and dark blue supports, accommodating 38 passengers in each train.
The ride opened in 1983 as Space Station Zero, an indoor coaster inspired by Space Mountain. It was reimagined and renamed Flying Fish in 1990.
The ride serves as an introduction to roller coasters for young visitors at Thorpe Park, establishing a tradition of family entertainment.
Children between 0.9 meters (3 feet) and 1.1 meters (3.6 feet) tall need adult supervision on the ride. It provides a gentle first coaster experience with straightforward access.
The ride was completely dismantled in 2005 and reassembled at a new location in 2007. This relocation was an unusual move for an attraction of its size at the park.
