Tayto Park Ireland: new coaster rejected over noise complaints

[Jahrules]

Sounds pretty terrible from the article.

Four residents complained. And the park lost the right to build the coaster.

Seems very similar to recent complaints about BGW building new attractions...

A €14m rollercoaster for Tayto Park has been refused due to noise impact on four residents

Four local residents claimed that the anticipated screaming from passengers on ‘Coaster 2021′ will increase noise disturbance in the area.

Major difference being that Tayto Park is not even 10 years old yet, so they don't have the power of seniority like parks in the US could afford in most cases.

Interesting fact about Tayto Park, they're owned by the Tayto crisp and popcorn company and are using the park as a marketing experience similar to that of Hersheypark. Visitors to the park get a free bag of crisps.
