Tayto Park, Ireland’s only theme park and zoo, has been granted approval from An Bord Pleanálafor the construction of two new steel intertwining rollercoasters!
The rollercoasters, which represent a total investment of €15million by Tayto Park, will create 40 new jobs in the area.
Speaking on the announcement, Founder of Tayto Park, Raymond Coyle said, “I am thrilled with the news of our planning approval. The construction of the rollercoasters will mark our largest single investment in our 11 years in business. This announcement will not only bring the latest cutting-edge attractions for our visitors to enjoy but will also add employment to the local economy”.
