Totally agree on the Wicker Man. The theming alone deserves a top 10 position! It feels like it gets faster every ride.

[@Moon_records_2012]

It does the wood heats up later in the day and makes it faster it can sometimes be faster than the smiler!

The fact that my first three 'big' roller coasters were Big Dipper, Infusion and Grand National on a wheel seat at 9 years old, nowhere to go but up 🤣 I need to start going to more theme parks. Most of my credits I got when I was a kid and not really an enthusiast so was scared of a lot of them. My only credits are: Flamingo Land: Velocity Mumbo Jumbo Wild Mouse (RIP) Zooom! Go Gator Runaway Mine Train Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Grand National (Both Sides) Big Dipper Steeplechase Infusion Avalanche Botton's Pleasure Beach: Wacky Worm Queen Bee Runaway Train

[@oskarhasabeanie]

0:01 NO WAY THE VELOCIRAPTOR ROLLERCOASTER THAT WAS MY FIRST COASTER EVER EDIT: place 39 is pretty fair for velociraptor since it is a junior boomerang coaster even though it felt terrifying when I was 4

Was at Blackpool pleasure beach at the weekend - the icon is amazing , Pepsi max and big dipper and the blue one beside big dipper are also great Avalanche is also a favourite but revolution I find way to short ! Nikalodean streak was also my first roller coaster

[@xoliviahsx]

Icon is so good !!

[@petermc7098]

Hi Dan, thanks for sharing your thoughts, a decent ranking Video throughout. Cheers Peter :) p.s. the reason why "The Walking Dead - The Ride" is a 1.4m rollercoaster is because of the horror theme itself and the demographic that Thorpe Park want to appeal to.

[@DatAvocad0]

My top 10 (I've been to barley any parks, only paultons park, alton towers and thorpe park, and chessington but I was to scared to go on anything lol) 1. Swarm (One of my first ever thrill coasters and so smooth, love the inversions and the theming) 2. Smiler (I found it quite smooth and loved the inversions) 3. Galactica (I found it really enjoyable with it being a flying coaster and loved that feeling of flying, does need a re theme though) 4. Stealth (Beautiful launch but just doesn't do it for me, I prefer the inversions) 5. Nemesis inferno (Good ride, like the theming of the volcano at the start. Want to get on nemesis reborn this year when I head up to alton towers) 6. Colossus (Bit rough on some occasions but I've had some good rides on it lately. 7 Oblivion (I like the drop but same with stealth, just prefer the inversions, also didn't feel like I was held for very long) 8. Saw (Very rough but absolutely love the theming and was my first ever thrill coaster) 9. Cobra (Fairly smooth, good ride, like the head chopper element and an all round solid family coaster) 10. The walking dead (Love the theming, not a bad little coaster as well, my friends always get scared which makes me laugh so bonus points)

ha, I remember my first ever ride on Traumatizer (aka Infusion for those who don't know) back at Southport ( i was around 13/14) hated it then. first time i ever want back on it was April this year (I am now 33). still hate it 🤣 but it could be soooo good!

[@GaijinGamerGirl]

Alton Towers or Thorpe Park would be the choice, with Thorpe Park having better quality and faster coasters in general, like Stealth being MUCH faster than Rita. You'll also find that the Alton Towers rides are "flat" where Thorpe Park has some scaling for those more enthusiastic. If you want a lot of rides that are copy+paste for a consistent experience go for Alton Towers. If you want something extra go for Thorpe. If you like old mostly wooden coasters go with Blackpool.
