Mellors Group says the ride is temporary and being tested for worldwide buyers, while residents say it has stayed longer than expected.
- A 50ft unfinished rollercoaster has loomed over a new-build estate on Sandford Lane in Hucknall, Nottingham, for 18 months, dividing neighbors between those calling it an "eyesore" and those who love it.
- Mellors Group, a Nottinghamshire-based firm, operates the site as a testing facility for rides destined for international buyers, with carts regularly whizzing around the track during trials.
- Dad-of-Six Jack Welsh, who runs a tattoo shop with wife Kirsty, insisted he is "actually not bothered by it," while their eight-year-old daughter Sapphire enjoys watching it grow from their home.
- Mellors admitted the ride has been longer than "anticipated" but insisted it remains temporary and destined for Dubai. He stated, "Our aim is to be a good neighbor."
- The ride's extended presence has made the area a magnet for urban explorers, raising privacy concerns among some residents who worry about being watched in their homes.
