A loved-up couple had the ride of their lives on Friday when they got engaged on the tallest rollercoaster in Europe.
Jenny Harold, 28, took advantage of the February 29 leap year tradition to propose to boyfriend Patrick Hyde on the Stealth ride at Thorpe Park.
Rollercoaster enthusiast Patrick, 26, said he was amazed when Jenny popped the question.
Jenny kept her plan secret for almost two months, telling her now-fiance that the day out was a late birthday present.
“I did think something was amiss,” said Patrick.
“My birthday was a month ago, but she just kept saying ‘I’ve got something planned’.”
The couple, who have been an item for more than a year, had one of their first dates at the theme park so it was the perfect setting for Jenny’s proposal.
“I’m glad it came together – it could have gone horribly wrong!” she said.
“I just feel completely relieved.”
Stealth was introduced to the park in 2006, and now goes from 0-80mph in 1.9 seconds, producing G-forces of up to 4.8g.
