MORE than 100 thrill-seekers rode a rollercoaster naked to raise money for charity.

The 102 enthusiasts bared all to take their seats on the Green Scream rollercoaster at Adventure Island, Southend.

Organisers were hoping they had broken a new record after 32 attempted the same feat in 2004 at Alton Towers, in Staffordshire.

Event organiser Tracy Jones said the rollercoaster ran three times to accommodate the bumper crowd of nudes.

The ride took place at Adventure Island, raising money for Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation's Bosom Pals Appeal.

Adventure Island boss Philip Miller said: "People have travelled from all over the UK to take part and we've heard some amazing stories from so many who have been directly, or indirectly, affected by cancer and wanted to give something back."
