Speed: No Limits was a roller coaster at Oakwood Theme Park, Pembrokeshire, UK. It was a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter and contained a 90° chain lift hill and a 97° first drop. This drop gave it a five way record tie for the steepest roller coaster drop between itself, Rage, Fahrenheit, SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge, Vild-Svinet and Typhoon. The ride was installed by Ride Entertainment Group, who handled all of Gerstlauer's operations in the Western Hemisphere.
Its 115 feet (35 m) lift hill and first drop tower could be seen from a distance away. It was the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in Wales.
