Enigma is a roller coaster located at Pleasurewood Hills, Corton, Near Lowestoft, Suffolk. It is the only Schwarzkopf Jumbo V in the world, as it was the only one manufactured. It was built in 1983 for a German travelling fair, until it moved to Funland Park in Kent until 1995 when it moved to Pleasurewood Hills as Cannonball Express, where it was mine train themed and was put in a crater next to the car park. The ride used to include a canyon theme with the cars shooting through and past the theming until 2004, when the theming was taken away. In 2005 it was given a new paint job, including a bright-red track and red trains with question marks, but in summer 2009, one of the old Cannonball Express trains were put on track for testing, as the ride would soon be undergoing a revamp. ==Showing age== Enigma used to have 4 trains as Cannonball Express coloured: *Purple - Most Used, in storage (Used for maintenance) *Blue - Still in operation *Green - Used 3rd most, in storage (put on track in 2009 for a short amount of time) *Red - Used the least, thought to be scrapped This means that there is now only 1 train in operation, which only seats 8 people, plus with separate on- and off-loading stations, this means there is a very low capacity of about 300 pph, also, being one of the most popular rides in the park, the queues can get very long. The reason the others were scrapped was due to maintenance as the company Schwarzkopf, who manufactured the ride, stopped roller coaster production, so the ride cars and brakes on the ride can't be fixed easily, meaning the block brakes are broken so the ride can't run multiple trains; the best-condition parts are taken from the other trains and put on the one in operation. It is also noted that Enigma isn't as thrilling as it once was, and the trims do not work anymore, which are located part way through the course of the track, meaning the ride's corners can sometimes be painful. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enigma (roller coaster)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
