Secret photos give exciting glimpse of new rides at £37m Gulliver’s Valley theme park

Taken secretly by Steve Montisci, they show a large castle structure, swinging rides, slides and a spinning ride with swing-seats attached.

The site appears to still be under construction, with the opening date expected to be ‘spring this year’.

The £37 million theme park, which will be the fourth Gulliver’s theme park in the UK, will eventually boast more than 70 rides and other attractions including a Lost World zone complete with animatronic dinosaurs.

While the venue is due to open this spring, the exact opening date has yet to be confirmed and the earliest date for which customers can currently book is Saturday, June 6.

Bookings are only available at weekends until Monday, July 20.

T-Rex Tower splash ride, in the Lost World zone

River Tour, in Lost World
