The Hoppings has announced its full list of rides set to take up residence on Newcastle's Town Moor later this month, including a brand new addition for thrill-seekers.
The famous funfair will return to its usual spot on Friday, June 16 for the 141st time, bringing with it around 350 attractions including 42 rides - some of which are among the biggest, highest and fastest of their kind in Europe. This year visitors will see the "nail-biting" Rocket Ride make its debut, which sees riders lifted 60 metres into the air and spun around in a corkscrew-like motion before coming back down to Earth.
The new ride will feature alongside traditional fairground favourites including the Dodgems, Waltzers and Helter-Skelter, with popular rides such as the Magic Mouse, Rockrage, Twist and Super Bowl also expected to draw in the crowds. There will be Flying Planes and Dumbos for the little ones, while the likes of the Ghost Train, Freak Out and Atmosfear will bring the thrills for older visitors.
