Cat-O-Pillar
Cat-O-Pillar Coaster is a family rollercoaster at Paultons Park.
The ride has a Cheshire Cat theme, with the train resembling a large pink and green feline with a friendly cat face at the front.
It is a medium sized Zierer Tivoli, with a fairly simple and gentle Figure of Eight layout featuring hills and curves. While it isn't overly rough, adults may find the ride a bit uncomfortable as they tend to be thrown into the sides of the car as the train navigates the circuit.
The rollercoaster has been at Paultons Park since 2000. Originally it was known as Stinger and had a green caterpillar train, before being rethemed as Cat-O-Pillar Coaster in 2015.
Children largely seem to enjoy Cat-O-Pillar Coaster, although it can be a little intimidating for some younger kids. Its train seats 26 riders, giving it a reasonably high capacity meaning queue times are not usually too long.
Before being rethemed into Cat-O-Pillar Coaster in 2015, the rollercoaster was originally known as Stinger and featured a large green caterpillar train.
