Tayto Park might make for a lovely family day out in the midlands, but it's not to be underestimated when it comes to scaring the pants off visitors.

The Cú Chulainn roller coaster - the largest wooden coaster in Europe - offers the most frightening minute you're likely to have anywhere in Ireland.

As a case in point, Charles Coyle recorded his friend Shauna's reaction from the first drop to the home stretch.

It all gets a bit too much for poor Shauna, who looks shell-shocked by the end.

Let the video stand as a warning for anyone thinking Tayto Park is just a kid's affair.
