Charles Coyle, General Manager of Emerald Park, revealing a sneak peek into the Tír Na nÓg development Mark Stedman

Two new rollercoasters are opening in Emerald Park next month

The two rollercoasters have been named Na Fianna Force and The Quest.

TWO NEW ROLLERCOASTERS are set to open next month in Co Meath’s Emerald Park.

The two rollercoasters have been named Na Fianna Force and The Quest. 

They will make up part of Emerald Park’s new Tír na nÓg development, which opens on 22 May.

The rollarcoasters are being engineered and designed by Dutch manufacturing company Vekoma.

Vekoma is also a major supplier for The Walt Disney Company.

Na Fianna Force will be a suspended thrill coaster, reaching heights of 32 metres and speeds of up to 90km/h.

Deriving its name from the legendary band of Celtic warriors, Na Fianna Force is the larger of the two rollercoasters at Tír Na nÓg.

The Quest will be a family boomerang rollercoaster, which will have riders embark on a “quest to the mystical land of Tír na nÓg”.

The rollarcoaster will reach speeds up to 60km/h and heights of 25 metres.

“We are delighted to finally announce the opening date of Tír Na nÓg,” Emerald Park managing director Charles Coyle said. 

“The opening represents a new chapter in our commitment to providing guests with unparalleled experiences, whether you’re seeking family fun or an adrenaline rush.” 

Tayto Park was rebranded as Emerald Park in January 2022.
