Filmed over two years in Emerald Park (previously known as Tayto Park), this full access behind-the-scenes series follows the trials and tribulations of building Europe’s largest intertwining steel roller-coasters, an ambitious vision that required a €22-million-euro investment from its late Founder, Raymond Coyle. 

Nerves of Steel is a captivating 4-part documentary offering an exclusive glimpse into the making of the Emerald Park’s highly anticipated Tír Na nÓg development which includes two new-state of the art intertwining rollercoasters which are part of its first fully themed and immersive land.

It is more than just a behind the scenes documentary—it’s a testament to the power of teamwork, passion, and perseverance of the Emerald Park team in continuing and completing the ambitious vison of its late Founder, Raymond Coyle. Through its candid portrayal of the Emerald Park team’s journey, this series invites viewers to share in the triumphs and challenges of the Tir Na nÓg development.
