Ride Experience

The layout of the coaster, the 689m Standard.

Limit, is a much used layout with many copies around the world.

The ride starts with a 109.3ft to the top of the lift hill. Next the ride drops 91ft down a banked drop reaching speeds of 50 m.p.h. The train then immediately navigates a sea-serpent roll (2 Half loops connected by a corkscrew). Once the train exits the sea-serpent roll it then navigates a banked turn, sidewinder, helix and into two heart-line rolls. The train then performs a few turns and into the brake run.

Colour Scheme

Limit has exactly the same colour scheme as Big Loop, a nearby steel roller coaster also manufactured by Vekoma. People often think that Limit and Big Loop are one long roller coaster due to their colour schemes and the similar locations. The bob-sled roller coaster elsewhere in the park has the same colour scheme.
