This is the moment a group of carol singers literally hit the high notes – while performing on a thrilling rollercoaster.



The Crypt Choir of The King’s School Canterbury belted out an adrenaline-fuelled rendition of Ding Dong! Merrily on High, 66ft up in the air.



And the choristers travelled at speeds of up to 45mph on Chessington World of Adventures’ Mandrill Mayhem rollercoaster.



It comes after research by the London family attraction revealed ‘Silent Night’ is the nation’s favourite Christmas carol, followed by ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’ and ‘Jingle Bells’.


Howard Ebison, divisional director of Chessington World of Adventures which is kicking off its Christmas event, Winter’s Tail, with the extreme carol concert, said: “Many of us love carols – particularly the younger generation judging by these findings.

00:00I've brought the choir here today to attempt to sing Christmas carols whilst riding on
00:18a roller coaster.
00:19So we went on the Mandrill Mayhem which apparently travels at 45 miles an hour and 66 feet in
00:25the air.
00:26Testing, testing.
00:27Oh no.
00:28Let's go guys.

00:41Let's do it again.
00:42I'm going to sing this time.
00:43What's the first word?
00:44Ding dong.
00:45Oh yeah.
00:46Ding dong merrily on high.
00:48Ding dong merrily on high.
00:49And the bells are ringing.
00:50In the sky.
00:51And angels singing.
00:52Merrily on high.

01:18Merrily on high.
01:19I've never even been on a rollercoaster until about a few hours ago so this is like a great
01:23first experience.
01:24Quite scary at points.
01:25I may have let out a few screams when I was singing actually.
