Adventure Island planning Southend's largest rides
Southend's Adventure Island could be about to get two new rides, much larger than anything else in the park.
A 196ft Starflyer carousel and a 147ft tall Ferris wheel are the two proposed rides for the theme park.
If approved, the two rides would almost treble the size of the pleasure park's existing tall rides with the current highest ride - Skydrop coming in at 68ft tall.
A planning application has been submitted to Southend Council by Phillip Miller's Stockvale Group alongside SK Architects of Leigh.
The Ferris wheel, which will be named the "Southend Eye", will be looking to compete with Brighton and other Tourist towns.
The application stated that the new investment would "further enhance and continue to widen the tourist and seasonal economy on the seafront."
Final details and ride colour would be agreed with Southend Council.
