It comes after plans for a roller coaster were also shut down by councillors

In June 2022, ambitious plans were tabled at the start of the consultation proposing an "adventure tourism experience" at Elterwater Quarry in the Langdale Valley, which included plans by Burlington Stone to build a high ropes course and a "toboggan-style" coaster to allow guests and visitors to explore the historic site. As soon as the idea came about, a campaign group was formed in a bid to stop the plans.

Earlier plans for a rollercoaster-style ride were dropped following opposition. Nearly 90,000 people objected to the plans, which were within the Unesco Lake District World Heritage Site. He said the plans would appeal to younger visitors, which he said was "the demographic the industry relies upon for the visitors of the future".
