[@Zeigler_]

I love Saw:The Ride and I personally think the roughness of it fits the theme as the films is all about John aka Jigsaw testing you and placing people in traps to see if they are "worthy" of the life they have and I feel the roughness is part of that charm as the ride is designed to feel like a Jigsaw trap but you do take a head pounding on the ride tho!

The UK seems to be filled with a lot of over/underrated coasters, glad somebody is talking about them. Great Video Dan, amazing as always!

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

Lol I think it’s more a case of there’s just too many opinionated people in the U.K (rather than lots of under/overrated coasters), that like to moan. It seems to be our culture these days 🤣. I live in the U.K. and have just started vlogging. My word people can moan when there’s just no need ha 🤣. I thought the equestrian industry was bad!

I have a huge soft spot for The Big One cos I’ve been riding it since it opened (yes, I am old).

[@nickbooker5579]

Lapped Shockwave about 8 times in a row yesterday with some new found enthusiast friends, going back in half term to say my last goodbye to the standing train. I love the front row, hands off. It's my first (and so far only, which I plan to rectify next year) thrill coaster. I'll be very sad to see it go. I am curious to feel it with the new train but it won't be the same.

[@darkevocator4043]

Vampire is fantastic, my first ever proper rollercoaster back in the early 90s. It holds so much nostalgia for me, it needs to be preserved at all costs.

[@betharrowsmith115]

Same, I honestly can’t see Chessington ever getting rid of it. I could imagine a retrack like Nemesis in a few years tho

[@JamesABloomfield]

I think that's why it's good - it's tame enough that you can ride it as a kid and not *die* but it's still exciting enough that if you ride it when you're a kid you develop a love for rollercoasters

[@Thomas.Radford]

Love this idea! Saw it on your insta! Keep up the great work dan

Cheers dan I’m in hospital vampire forever 😢 tbh I rode it 3 days ago and yes it’s only got 1 good drop and g force that’s into the tunnel but still it has a special place in my heart ❤

[@bravghede]

Underrated: Nickelodeon Streak and Rita. Overrated: Th13rt1313n and Hex (I know, not a Coaster).

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

You can actually see the management meeting of Rita where they discuss they want a ride that launches but didn’t have the budget for the rest of the ride 🫣. It’s a good ride, just a bit of ‘nothing’ after the launch I think.

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

@@user-zp4ge3yp2o I’ve not ridden Stealth in such a long time. Just depends on what you like really. I like the faster acceleration of Stealth and quite like going 200ft high.

[@JonathanJimbo]

​@@user-zp4ge3yp2oFor me stealth hurt my back during the vertical twist halfway up the loop. Could have been a poor sitting position idk. I enjoyed Rita, but I was lucky to get a front row seat (which was fairly smooth, although I imagine the back row might be entirely different).

[@iliketrains3546]

2:55 I used to really like Saw, but then I got taller and the restraints started digging into my shoulders in the airtime moments.

[@littlelove13]

I think one of the most underrated UK coasters is millennium at fantasy island. Fantasy island in itself is never talked about much as a theme park (which fair enough because most of the rides meaning every ride but two can be found similar enough in other parks) but millennium is never seen or heard when talking about UK coasters. It was my first upside down ride and one of my first big coasters, and it’s still honestly amazing. It’s the fifth tallest rollercoaster in the UK (that’s including hyperia) and dare I say also one of the smoothest in the UK too (shocking given that it’s a bloody vekoma but here we are) also it’s just genuinely fun to ride

[@joshslater2426]

I can sympathise with the based Oblivion enjoyer. It’s my favourite coaster at Towers, but I can’t say if it’s the best in the UK or not. It’s a lot of fun - short but very effective. Makes me worry people have stopped caring about it somewhat. Rita is also a bit underrated. There are more elaborate launch coasters out there, but the launch itself is still good.

[@RollerCoasterBeth]

To be fair you do have a fair point with vampire… I also feel like I loose brain cells everytime I go on it as it whacks me around so much 😂😂

[@Connectitthefancollector]

Grand national is underrated due to it getting too much hate for what it's worth, it is a very intense ride especially considering when it was built. Yeah there is a little but of roughness here and there but it genuinely isn't bad at all.

[@kirst_5223]

honestly revolution is so underrated i love it so much 😭😭

[@AmityAddict1979]

It's pretty sad that all our great coasters are overrated when you compare it to the rest of the world😂😭 hyperia will change that, though😂 great video as always dan!!!

[@Coasterghost]

6:23 is sub terra a joke to you? i never did og nemesis, but for me it’s one of the weaker rides at Thorpe, I’d rather ride samurai or vortex or another flat over it, same with saw. but if you go on it after it’s been raining, it’s absolutely amazing! great vid!

[@Peely_Boy65]

Dan I’m coming for you after saying that about vampire 😂😂😂

[@gcollz_]

Odyssey at Fantasy Island is probably my favourite drop, but big one is definitely close behind and I’m pretty optimistic for Exodus/Hyperia. I’m going to say this one purely to trigger the Nemesis fans but Nemesis’ is overhyped (not overrated, please don’t murder me) - but best wishes from a Smiler fan 😌

[@Ella42826]

Lol the drop on 13 actually gave me a heart attack and I thought it broke 😂

[@Dave-K-Notts]

Love smiler. It has two rough points near the first drop at the start and again and the end. Mainly in the rear carriage on two of the trains. Otherwise it is a joy. JOIN US! I would say Air is overrated but then again it’s a nice family ride.

[@porridgebowl]

Imo Vampire is only overrated if it’s being viewed on the same level as other bigger thrill coasters, which is unfair as it’s meant to be more of a family ride. I think it deserves its praise as a great beginner coaster, it’s a really fun ride that isn’t too intense and has some nice theming. It’s not meant to be “scary”, so those who like bigger thrills might not enjoy it very much. Great video as always 👍

[@twistedcoasters1533]

Here we go. Overrated: Wickerman. Yep I’m part of that clan. Although I’ve never done it on the back so maybe it’s different there. But the ride doesn’t do much for me. Underrated: both Rita and 13. I’d take either over wickerman. Though none of them are in the top 3 rides at towers

[@lynxx497]

Am I tripping, or that clash of clans war music 5:59??

[@me-myself-i787]

Th13teen has great airtime. It's my 3rd favourite at Alton Towers, behind Wickerman and Galactica. Plus, the launches have decent force. My favourite was Smiler before I got tall enough for the restraints to start digging in. That's now my least favourite in the park.

[@me-myself-i787]

@@chazgames3690 I think it's the least intense, but I love the smooth, graceful flying sensation. But in terms of forces, Wickerman's my favourite. It's almost as intense as Smiler, but without those awful Gerstlauer OTSRs.

[@thecoasterhub8848]

Underrated: Aero Explorer at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (literally no one talks about this and its one of the best coasters [if you count it as one] in the uk) Overrated: ICON - it is really good but not the best in the uk for me like many say.

[@Adzo1]

Rita is very underrated. I feel like stealth gets all the attention even though it has a shorter layout (ok fine I haven't been on it, but Rita is still underrated) I also think wickerman is a little bit overrated. Now don't get me wrong, it's an amazing ride and the theming is top notch but I just think it gets talked about too much. I think spinball whizzer and galactica are underrated too.

To be honest, I think vampire is underrated and dragons fury is overrated because when I went on it it was extremely bumpy, dragons fury but for vampire, it was smooth as butter

[@maxcruickshank2713]

I know I am weird but I think Hero is the most underrated ride I ever been on, it has a 0.4 rating on Google but I give it 4 out of 5. I had good rides everytime I went on it Go on the right side middle seat, that's where it is smoothest

[@maxcruickshank2713]

Vampire does nothing for me nowadays, I find Dragon's Fury the best coaster in the park. I agree that saw is underrated. Rita is the middest ride at towers. I enjoy 13 and the crypt gets me every time! Nemesis Inferno is my second favourite coaster in the country. (Behind nemesis of course) Oblivion is my second favourite coaster at towers. Wicker Man and Smiler is overrated in my opinion. Still good though. It's my 19th birthday today!
