Hold on to you hats! We've got a rollercoaster Weekend planned for you!

Hold on to your hats! In tomorrow's Weekend we take a ride on Alton Towers' new Galactica rollercoaster, which combines virtual reality with the real twists and turns of a traditional coaster. It's enough to make your tummy tickle!

And that's not all. We catch up with one of the world's best rollercoaster creators, the engineer responsible for some of the best rides in Orlando, Florida. He's in Birmingham this weekend, talking to kids at the Big Bang Fair about his job and the importance of science, technology, engineering and maths. School has never been so cool.

And from soaring coasters to Birds of a Feather, we talk to Lesley Joseph about her latest stint treading the boards as Miss Hannigan in Annie. We love you, Miss Hannigan! And Lesley is pretty lovely too.

Our need for speed continues over in sport, as we catch up with speedway champion Ole Olsen on why he's not slowing down any time soon.

So strap yourself in, it's going to be a great ride.
