Alton Towers
The 1994 legend, retracked and reborn with a menacing new colour scheme and the creature finally revealed. Still the benchmark for terrain-hugging design.

Chessington World of Adventures
Chessington's B&M wing coaster and the first of its kind in the UK. A tight, twisting layout through the jungle with near-misses that feel closer than they probably are.

Alton Towers
The world's first vertical-drop coaster. Half the drop happens underground, and the pause at the edge has ended friendships.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach
The one that started it all for UK thoosies. When it opened as the Pepsi Max Big One it was the tallest and steepest coaster in the world — and it still owns the Blackpool skyline.

The UK's only flying coaster — lie face-down and soar through the Forbidden Valley. Smooth, unique, and still unlike anything else at Alton Towers.

Alton Towers
Alton's haunted drop-track family coaster. The woods, the story, and the surprise freefall moment make it far more than a gentle ride.

The world's first horror-movie themed coaster, with a beyond-vertical drop of 100 degrees. Short, sharp, and absolutely relentless.
