Speed is a more than vertical rollercoaster at Oakwood Theme Park, Pembrokshire, UK. It is the UKs only rollercoaster with a more than vertical drop. It consists of a 97-degree drop, a −1.3g camelback hill, a 110-degree overbanked turn, a vertical loop, a heartline roll, and a helix. The ride has four roll-articulated vehicles consisting of two rows of eight seats each. The trains use standard over-the-shoulder restraints
The No Limits roller coaster simulator was used for much of the concept art for this ride
