Knightmare in Camelot Theme Park ( Chorley , Lancashire , UK ) was a steel roller coaster manufactured by Zierer Rides , which was originally opened in March 1987 in Kobe PortopiaLand, Japan, as the Bavarian Mountain Railroad . There it drove under this name until 1996 and was then renamed BMRX . For this purpose, it was also re-themed and provided with special effects . The track was closed on March 31, 2006 and finally reopened in July 2007 in the Camelot Theme Park.
The 793 m long route was 27 m high and the trains reached a top speed of 70 km / h. The maximum load was 5 g .
On September 2, 2012, the Camelot Theme Park was closed until further notice. Some of the roller coasters have been sold (including "Whirlwind" to Skyline Park ) and others are still in the park and are starting to rust. The Knightmare railway is expected to be scrapped in summer 2014.
