Unfinished 50-foot rollercoaster looms over new apartment building
Mellors Group says the ride is temporary and being tested for worldwide buyers, while residents say it has stayed longer than expected.
- A 50ft unfinished rollercoaster has loomed over a new-build estate on Sandford Lane in Hucknall, Nottingham, for 18 months, dividing neighbors between those who view it as an "eyesore" and those who "love it."
- Mellors Group, a Nottinghamshire-based firm, operates the site as a testing facility for rides destined for international buyers, with carts regularly whizzing around the track during operations.
- Dad-of-Six Jack Welsh, who runs a tattoo shop with wife Kirsty, insisted he is "actually not bothered by it," while their eight-year-old daughter Sapphire enjoys watching the massive structure grow from their home.
- Mellors admitted the ride has been up longer than anticipated but insisted it remains temporary and destined for Dubai, stating "Our aim is to be a good neighbor."
- The company explained that once testing concludes, rides are sent worldwide to buyers, positioning this prototype as "the first one in the world," though delays in assembly have frustrated the firm's timeline.
