The gorse fire has forced bosses at the site to delay their opening.

A spokesperson for the centre said: “Due to our Fire Service colleagues tackling a gorse fire very close to the Coaster, there will be a delay in opening today.

“We will keep you updated as we aim to try and open later today.

“Apologies for any inconvenience.”
