What was it?

1982–1995

The Mini Apple roller coaster had a long life in the park, and outlived even the area it was in. Originally part of Adventure Land 4 - 11, the coaster stayed put as all the other rides where removed around it.

The ride was a simple children's rollercoaster with a few climbs and drops, but obviously nothing spectacular. In the centre of the ride was a large apple that the track went through. You rode in carriages styled to look like caterpillars or grubs.

The ride joined the line up of Talbot Street/Land of Make Believe when all the other rides where removed, and was finally taken away at the end of the 1995 season.
