False leg fell from rollercoaster

A false leg, 53 shoes, 327 mobile phones and 10 items of underwear are just some of the odd items that have been found under a rollercoaster.

Staff at Alton Tower's have started clearing the site under the retiring Corkscrew rollercoaster ahead of its closure on November 9.

But they have been shocked by the bizarre items found, because the site is closed to members of the public, it is thought they fell off looping thrill-seekers.

Also found under the 728 metres long 44mph Corkscrew, were a prosthetic ear, 800 pieces of jewellery, and over one thousand caps.

How scared must someone have been to have left the ride and not noticed that they were missing a leg?

This is the first time the site has been cleared in the ride's 28-year history at the Staffordshire theme-park.

A spokesperson for Alton Towers, said they find over 5,000 items of lost property every year ... but the prosthetic leg was the oddest ever found.
