Tayto Park announces the approval of two new rollercoasters

Tayto Park, Ireland’s only theme park and zoo, has just announced approval on two new steel intertwining rollercoasters which will begin construction in 2021 to open to the public in 2023. The rollercoasters, which represent a total investment of €15million by the park, will create 40 new jobs in the area.

Speaking on the announcement, Founder of Tayto Park, Raymond Coyle said, “Today is a very exciting day for Tayto Park and Co. Meath. This is the largest single investment in our history! We currently employ 420 people and not only will the new coasters add employment to the local economy, they are securing the future of the park."

To secure the planning, Tayto Park has spent over €1,500,000 on noise reduction methods. This is made up of multiple factors which included completely redesigning the coasters after the initial planning stages. Designers reoriented the tracks to direct noise back into the park and away from housing in the area. 

The rollercoasters are due to begin construction in 2021 and will be open to the public in 2023.

Tayto Park is set to re-open after lockdown on June 29. We certainly cannot wait to visit again! For information on tickets and further details, visit www.TaytoPark.ie
