The London Resort s new rollercoaster Set over 1km of track, it will go against the usual trend of building rollercoasters with towering heights and big drops, the London Resort said. Recreating what scientists believe was a typical flight path of the extraordinary beast, this coaster will stay low to the ground, zipping across treetops, skimming water and bursting through rocky canyons. A multi-launch coaster reaching speeds in excess of 70mph, the ride will replicate the hunting speed of Quetzalcoatlus, which would swoop low and fast to snare prey in its long, tweezer-like beak. The London Resort - Base Camp The second coaster inside Base Camp will offer a family orientated experience. Weaving beneath the flight path of Quetzalcoatlus, through the fascinating landscape, this ride will allow for adventurers of all ages and sizes to experience a roller coaster with just the right level of thrill .

The London Resort People in London and Kent have been hearing about London Resort, the UK s £5bn answer to Disneyland, for nine years, but what are the chances of the vision becoming reality. Dubbed one of Europe s most ambitious theme park projects ever, the plans have been enough to get thrill-seekers excited. The park will be three times larger than any other in the UK when completed, bringing together a thrilling global entertainment destination full of Hollywood-themed rides, hotels, ferries, e-Sports facility and a Waterpark. Since 2012 the proposed theme park has seen its fair share of bumps and hurdles, from sponsors pulling out, budget issues and most recently an environmental battle.
Conservationists have welcomed protection for a “wildlife haven” close to the M25 but warn it could still be at risk from a planned theme park development.
Swanscombe Peninsula in Kent has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its grassland, scrub, wetlands, grazing marsh and saltmarsh habitat which is home to an array of wildlife.
The peninsula on the Thames hosts more than 1,700 invertebrates, including the critically endangered distinguished jumping spider, breeding birds such as marsh harriers, reed warblers and bearded tits, and nationally rare plants.
Government conservation agency Natural England also said the 250-hectare (620-acre) site, which lies between the M25 and Gravesend, is important green space for people as well as wildlife.
