An Entity of Type: roller coaster, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Scenic Railway is a wooden roller coaster located at the Dreamland Amusement Park in Margate, United Kingdom. It first opened in 1920 and is the oldest roller coaster in the UK. The ride is distinctive compared to modern-day roller coasters, as a brakeman is still required to travel with the train to control its speed, manually applying brakes when needed. It is also one of only eight scenic railways in the world, and the UK's English Heritage granted the roller coaster Grade II listed status in 2002 and Grade II* listed status in 2011. The Scenic Railway was non-operational from 2006 until 2015 amid park closure and restoration following an arson attack.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Scenic Railway im Dreamland Margate in Margate ist eine Holzachterbahn, die am 3. Juli 1920 eröffnet wurde. Sie ist die älteste Achterbahn im Vereinigten Königreich und eine von insgesamt acht verbliebenen „Scenic Railways“ weltweit. Seit einem Feuer am 7. April 2008, welches die Bahn zu 25 Prozent zerstörte, war sie bis zum 14. Oktober 2015 außer Betrieb. Die 914,4 m lange Strecke, deren Layout einem doppelten Out-and-Back-Design entspricht, erreicht eine Höhe von 12,2 Meter. Da die Bahn über keine Bremsen verfügt, fährt ein so genannter Bremser mit, der die Aufgabe hat, die Geschwindigkeit des Zuges zu jedem Zeitpunkt zu regeln. (de)
