The latest rollercoaster would join rides such as the Viking Voyage

Tayto Park in Co Meath has lodged fresh plans for a €14m rollercoaster after earlier proposals were knocked back by planners because of noise concerns.

The theme park, owned by businessman Ray Coyle, has applied for permission for a new attraction that would include two separate rollercoaster rides of almost 1km in length. It would be 31 metres high, the same height as the park’s Cú Chulainn rollercoaster.

The Tayto Park company sought permission a year ago for a new ride, dubbed Coaster 2021, and Meath county council gave the

go-ahead in February. Following appeals by residents, however, the plan was refused.

The latest proposal includes “noise reduction measures” such as a six-metre high sound barrier that would feature “acoustic fencing”, a photo booth, shop
