Alton Towers

Staffordshire’s Alton Towers is one of the most popular attractions in the UK for adrenaline junkies. Some of the best rollercoasters are the Nemesis, Rita, Oblivion, and Galactica. The newest ride is the Wicker Man, which is the first wooden rollercoaster to be built in the UK in the past 20 years.

Thorpe Park

This Surrey theme park has some of the fastest rides in Europe, making it ideal for those who aren’t afraid of heights. The best rides are Saw: The Ride, Stealth, and The Swarm. For indoor thrills, check out Derren Brown’s Ghost Train and The Walking Dead. If you aren’t afraid to get a bit wet, don’t miss the Tidal Wave.

This will not be the first time the iconic theme park has added a themed attraction to their list. Almost a decade ago, the park introduced SAW: The Ride, based on the horror movies of the same name. More recently, they added a “Walking Dead” roller coaster and now, a Black Mirror maze is entering the scene.

The maze will be a chance for park visitors to step inside the technological mind-bending world of Charlie Brooker’s legendary Netflix show.

“Get lost as you enter a hypnotic maze using cutting-edge visual technology and sensory-defying environments,” the official Thorpe Park website teases. “Will you keep your grip on reality or will you lose yourself in the mainframe as this unpredictable digitized dimension reveals an uneasy truth that manipulates and displaces your very existence.”

Thorpe Park opens on March 27. You can find out more and get your tickets here.

8. Spinball Whizzer

Spinball Whizzer is the most family-friendly coaster on the list. The coaster cart spins round and takes several dips and turns. If you’re looking for thrills, however, it doesn’t quite pack the same punch as the rest of the coasters in the park.

7. Galactica

Galactica is one of the newer rides in the park. It was designed to feature virtual reality headsets, but these were recently scrapped. Since then, Galactica has been more of a snorefest than a thrillfest.

6. Nemesis

Nemesis one of the oldest coasters in the park. Still, it pulls in hundreds of park visitors, all queuing to ride the park’s only suspension coaster.

5. Th13teen

Th13teen is mostly an average coaster that takes you speeding through the forest. One exciting twists warrants riding the coaster again and again.

4. Rita: Queen of Speed

“Rita” is the park’s only launch coaster. It has no loops or corkscrews, but the launch start will have you clutching at your seat every time.

3. Oblivion

Oblivion is a dive coaster that holds you above a huge hole before you plunging you headfirst down a vertical slope. The trill is top class, but the queues are sometimes a little long for a ride that is over in a few seconds.

2. Wicker Man

Wicker Man is one of the greatest wooden roller coasters in the world. It reaches speeds of 70 km/h and 2,608.3 ft in length. Unlike traditional wooden coasters, the ride is incredibly smooth.

1. The Smiler

The Smiler is the world’s first Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster. It holds the world record for the most inversions, boasting 14 in total. It’s easily the best ride in the park and is a competitor for the best ride in the whole of the UK.
