With Swarm you gotta mention how the ride itself is so built into the theming, being kidnapped by the aliens and being taken for a fly around, with the ride photos being “missing persons” and finally there’s “THIS IS IT. THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE SWARM NOW. JUST SIT BACK, BRACE YOURSELF, AND PRAY” that I’ve heard often enough to know off of the top of my head after riding twice

[@Pizzaetertje]

I will be going to Alton towers soon tho, I’ll see how Nemesis reborn holds up

[@GTAStreams12]

Swarm or saw has to be my fav theming at Thorpe park

[@Pizzaetertje]

I think Swarm is better because I read about Saw after riding it and I had 2 moments of “oh that’s what that was”

[@Ur.local..weirdoo]

@@Pizzaetertjeapparently there’s a dead body on the floor at some point 😭😭 i didn’t see it every time

[@Pizzaetertje]

@@Ur.local..weirdoo it’s inside right before you go outside, you make an inversion above it

[@Ur.local..weirdoo]

@@Pizzaetertje yeah i saw a video on it 😭😭 can’t believe i didn’t see it

[@CharlesworksatMcDonalds]

We need the actual roller coasters theme to be ranked!! You did The Smiler dirty…The Smilers is insane!!

[@ImtootiredforthisXD]

Theres not much decoration apart from the coaster itself, but still it is my 2nd favourite coaster in the UK *1.) Is ICON, ive not rode Hyperia but that would probably take top spot* and i understand you!

[@Saismee]

earlier smiler is definitely better as they sadly got rid of some of the marmalisation stuff. a refurb of oblivion would take x-sector to top 5 imo. bit weird that he grouped all of x-sector but not all of forbidden valley...

[@ImtootiredforthisXD]

@@Saismee Good point actually, im sure it was accidental. Maybe its because it also contains Galactica and its awkward to rank the Space and weird monster theme in the same category?

[@deborahallen2131]

It’s just overated

[@ImtootiredforthisXD]

@@CharlesworksatMcDonalds I cant agree with you there. It may be a bit but what do you expect, it still holds the record for the most inversions in the entire globe. (IN a tiny space where they couldnt build high up*

[@ThriIISeeker]

8:51 pigeon outside Dan's window💪💪

[@doctorpenguin5406]

Honestly the Smiler is my favourite theme. Super dark and super unique.

[@hackerlola6668]

Agreed

[@SK99v1]

I would say it's between Nemesis Reborn and Wicker Man. Nemesis Reborn has a better themed queue, but Wicker Man does have probably the best pre-show in the UK.

[@BigPappaEarl1938]

Wickerman literally has one theming structure and thats it

[@SK99v1]

@BigPappaEarl1938 The station theming's good, and so is the gift shop, There's the pre-show, and the surrounding area of Wicker Man is themed so much that it's not really part of Mutiny Bay.

i really hope you get 100K subscribers, you really deserve it.

[@JensonBradburn]

Can I just say the theming on hyperia is just brilliant and fearless valley is on point😂😂😅

[@jukesy1992]

Soundtrack's good, but as a blind person, I'm also a bit disappointed. In the queue, Hyperia doesn't talk about her story, and she does have some announcements about the Valley but I don't even know if she does the usual ride safety announcement anymore. Unless all the blogs I watched just cut it out? If anyone in the know could clarify, I'd be really interested to know either way.

[@Galaxy99-55]

Nemesis is by far the best the best themed rollercoaster in my opinion.. it is absolutely amazing and that it shows that towers can do it lol!!

[@AltonTowers_girl_1314]

Forbidden valley has to be one of the best themed areas in the UK, at least to the front of the area, once you go past rollercoaster restaurant it goes downhill (theme wise)

[@igee1605]

You misspelled fearless

[@Thrillseeker01]

​@@igee1605 They're on about Forbidden Valley at Alton Towers, not Fearless Valley at Thorpe Park. But they are confusing 😕

[@igee1605]

@@Thrillseeker01 I wasn't being fr👍 fearless valley still looks like a construction sire compared to nemesis reborn area which is top tier themeing imo

[@WATSONWATSONWATSON]

It does actually go downhill tho like in height

[@CharlesworksatMcDonalds]

Hear me out, X-Factor may be all over the place right now…but The Smilers theme is amazing.

[@jameswhite4987]

digital Daniel is back

[@Modguy555]

X sectors theming is actually really good! The marmaliser and the tunnel on oblivion really bring the area to light

[@ImtootiredforthisXD]

The concept and how messes up it is is the best but the theming isnt as good id say, theres not much to see. (Like props)

[@23HT23]

Great video woDan (Europa park reference🇪🇺🎢)

Keep up the good work dan! Im saving for my sons trip to Thorpe park for his birthday he is so happy when he watches your videos.

[@tackledkey3044]

ITS ME IM IN THERE!! I'm so glad you remembered WD: The Ride. Thank you, always enjoy your videos 😊

[@namugriff]

Have the say the theming in the Paulton Park lands is getting better and better. Use to go there when it was just a large park with hardly any rides and was mostly animals.

When Air gets rethemed, hopefully this winter, and if they theme the new flat ride which maybe Ripsaw, Forbidden Valley will take the title

[@themeparkkieran4573]

Paultons park just keep getting better and better with the theming and I can’t wait to see there future Investments as it’s definitely the best park for full themed experiences

[@CallumClinch]

Love your chqnnel I like all your videos sis the start

[@thebenjyman253]

In terms of area, I think the new Forbidden Valley has to be the best, but in terms of ride, the way the Swarm interacts with the theming with the near miss elements and how much effort went into that ride definitely places it top for me.

[@Themeparkshenanigans]

Amazing video as always Dan, keep it up

[@reputation8383]

Yes! This is the video I've been waiting for, if I could double-like this video I would 😃😁

[@justarandomkid672]

Tied with Mandrill Mayhem and Swarm

Both wing coasters

The last time I went to Alton towers nemesis was closed cause reborn was getting done.😔😔😔

[@Watoic0-._._._]

Most uk roller coasters in the UK are themed greatly and I agree with people saying nemesis reborn or the swarm but my opinion is that saw the ride is the best themed from the saw blades and the dark part it’s just amazing

[@AmityAddict1979]

Amity is criminally underrated in this community imooo

[@Thirsty4Airtime]

I love amity its got the best music and the theming is there everywhere in the area its just elite

[@kirstynewell5327]

We shall not talk abt the other one in dark forest

[@crmtrainspotting6882]

Nice. I think nemmesis reborn is the best

[@Modguy555]

Swarm is more immersive in my opinion

[@gamingandcraftswithlogan8714]

Icon has potential tbf, I wish they made it more Japanese/samurai theme (I think that’s the theme of icon) with maybe a large samurai temple in the centre or something

[@Louie-loves-costers]

Dan please can you be at towers on the 19th of August if not answer me please

[@NL2SCoasters]

Mandrill mayhem and vampire are DEFINITELY tied

[@Jess.xx08]

Hi Dan! I was wondering if I could get some advice, I find rollercoasters really fun and interesting but I'm really scared of going upside down because I'm scared that it'll make me feel sick. Do you have any advice? I've been on some big rides such as Stealth but I'd really like to try and ride more coasters!

[@ElliottWoollam]

Dan you should make a new video but on the stations and queuelines theming

ive never thought flyish fish is part of amity lol

[@Beefy2203]

No Thomas Land with Troublesome Trucks?

[@duskeey_]

Alton towers need geometry dash themed coasters, to anyone who has never seen any online levels of the game might think I’m crazy but when u see them, you will see why I think this way

[@grahamgalton6949]

Storm Chaser / Tornado Springs for me

[@NoahWarne-zv3vo]

I think Vampire is best themed

[@jukesy1992]

As a blind person and out of the stuff I've done actually in person, I agree. The sound in the queue builds up, and you can hear the organ booming as you get towards the station, but when you step in, it's another level because the floor feels different, the smell hits you in a good way and the music just envelops you. Now if we're talking best themed ride in Chessington, I am, completely unironically, going to say Croc Drop with Tomb Blaster being very close behind but when I went, the new indoor queue area soundtracks had been completely turned off so I still don't know what that's like anymore. But Croc Drop has very specific music around each of it's areas: queue, opening, loading, ride experience and ending. But going back to this video, Vampire's absolutely awesome, again I say this unironically.

[@user-ty1op7ze7g]

5:24 L O K I

[@multilaunchmadness]

Where is Thomas land???? Mate, you can forget about Thomas and Percy’s submarine splash…. The soundtrack is immense and the double down is intense (like my rhyming??) anyway Thomas land should have its own category as it’s leagues above tornado spring and forbidden valley!!!!!!!!

[@RollerCoasterBeth]

Nemesis reborn has got to be the best themed! I would say the area too but it shares it with galactica…

[@King_Chirpo]

I think the octonauts coaster wins every genre the theming is so good and the ride is so intense

[@kingseal-rn6ic]

I dont know a lot about tornado springs but putting nemeis under it seems a bit weird

[@thedoofusduck1602]

Why didn’t you read the rest? hero’s theming really is immaculate!

[@nr.cffc7]

Best themed area in the uk is definitely swarm island, got a helicopter crashed van and just a lot of theming

[@breadlover5555]

dan you are very cool

[@Saismee]

you clearly forgot the galactica puddle. top 5 right there. edit: nevermind

[@vxrtgt]

hi dan!!!

[@2EzFletch]

ANOTHER UPLOAD COME ON!!!

[@davegoyeet]

The best themed area is forbidden valley and swarm island and the best coasters are swarm nemesis re30rn Who’s with me 👇🏼

[@hessleraptor9299]

Dino Stone Park deserves some love at flamingoland the whole area , the dino animatronics the rides Twistosaurus pterodactyl and dino roller but nothing will beat forbidden valley! More points to alton if they retheme galactica for 2025

[@Harv_0]

The Big One's Pepsi Max cans. 100% the best.

[@koreyhu2]

No theming at all in 50% of forbidden valley swarm on top🔥🔥

[@JohnMillard-gy9lq]

Icon is pretty good at Blackpool and Valhalla

[@mattiaematteo]

Something tells me that Paultons Park has a gun to your head if you say "tornado springs" is there I guess. Lol. Nah all jokes aside tornado springs is definitely the best themed area in the UK. No questions asked as it's also my local park 😁

[@jukesy1992]

Hang on, why didn't he read about Hero? What ended up happening, if anything?

[@ImtootiredforthisXD]

Everyone.) Nemesis Reborn! Swarm! Me.) *Wickerman and only Wickerman, no maybes or ifs, Wickerman is the best themed coaster in the UK, no one can tell me any different. I will assinate you if you think different* You physically cannot. Sure, Nemesis Reborn is good theming and im pretty sure Forbidden Valley is the best area in the park itself (theming wise) but Wickerman IS THE BEST COASTER AND I WILL FRIGITTY FROGGITY FLIPPITY FLOPPITY FRY YOU ON A FRYING PAN IF YOU DISAGREE!* 👹 WHERE IS OCTONAUTS ON THIS TIER LIST-

[@stanneke.18]

I think saw needs to be in the best of the best i think above swarm

[@Patrickskelt]

i just think hyperia would have been the best themed but everybody (maybe even the park even) forgot the egyptian theme
