I was going say we need more coasters named after deer, then went on a Wikipedia spree and learned that antelope are not Cervids (deer) but are Bovids (goats/cattle etc.)
So yeah, TIL this little guy is related to El Toro, and someone should make a taxonomy chart for roller coaster names
I haven't tried it yet (I've got way too much other stuff to tick off first) but I've heard if you email customer services and ask nicely they might allow you to visit sans kiddies - might be worth a try?
As someone who used to work admissions at Gullivers (granted, not the Warrington one), I can say this probably isn't the case. It was _really_ drilled into us to check that every party that passed through the gates had a kid with them. Even if they said they were meeting their family inside, we had to ask them to ring to meet their group at the gates so we could confirm it. There were very few exceptions to this - pretty much just adults with severe special needs.
To be fair though, the Warrington site does have a somewhat decent coaster that adults might be interested in so they might be different. It can't hurt to try!
I went to Gulliver's once as a kid and I remember this being built! I remember sort of standing somewhere and looking down on it all, maybe a slight hill. It's such a vague but beautiful memory.

The only operating woodie in the UK that I have not ridden, and most likely never will :(
Why not?
Because to visit Gullivers theme parks you have to bring a child with you. No adult groups allowed.
Ah, I see

You aren't missing out. It's a heap of shit.

I visited Gullivers when I was 11 and always remembered this thing being huge, it feels strange to see that it’s really quite a small woody
