Popular ride confirmed to return to The Hoppings this year - let's hope it doesn't rain

The Hoppings is now just over a week away and among the many rides that will be lining the Town Moor is one making its return to the huge event.

Year after year, The Hoppings attracts plenty of visitors to the Moor and fortunately for those who went along to Europe's largest travelling funfair last year there was plenty of warm sunshine during its stint in Newcastle.

The big attractions of The Hoppings are of course the rides - with a good mix of white knuckle thrill rides and family attractions ensuring that there's something for everyone.

for 2019 has now been confirmed and alongside the VERY high MAC5, which was the first ride to arrive at the Town Moor last week; Air; Ice Jet and many more is a ride making its comeback this year.

And you might want to keep everything crossed from now that the torrential rain forecast for the next few days, doesn't last into next week as the ride in question is...the log flume!

A great ride to go on when the sun is shining, not so much when the traditional Hoppings rain pours, the log flume was missing from the rides lineup last year but will be back when The Hoppings 2019 gets going on Friday, June 21.
