Huddersfield Mega Value Fun Park is coming back to Cambridge Road car park and it’s going to be bigger than ever.

One of the UK’s largest portable rides - a 40 metre swinging pendulum arm called Vertigo - will be making its debut at the town centre fun fair on Wednesday August 15.

The park will be open for five days and visitors can also enjoy a range of classic rides as well as plenty of attractions for smaller children.

Alan Cowie, one of the fun fair organisers, said: “Usually, to sample some of these rides would mean travelling to an amusement or theme park. We have a selection of extreme rides the likes of which you cannot find anywhere else in Yorkshire at this kind of event.

When is it?

The fun park is in town for five days from Wednesday August 15. Each day visitors can choose from three three-hour sessions. These are; 1-4pm, 3-6pm and 6-9pm.

On Sunday August 19 only two sessions will be available - 1-4pm and 3-6pm.

What rides are there?

Without doubt the showpiece ride will be Vertigo - one of the biggest fun fair rides in the country. Those brave enough to ride it will be strapped to one end of its arms and sent soaring 40 metres into the sky.

Also there will be eXtreme - the spinning pendulum that swings dizzy riders over 90° - and Spanish ride, Tagada, which is described as “pure jumping madness”.
