Will the UK EVER GET a 300FT COASTER??

In 2024 the HEIGHT RECORD will be beaten in the UK by Project Exodus at Thorpe Park, but only by a small amount. Will we ever see in future a 300FT coaster come to the UK?? Could we see it at the likes of Thorpe Park, Blackpool Pleasure Beach or even Flamingo Land?? Who knows, but today I will be speculating all about where we might see the first 300FT coaster in the country, along with what it could be!

I would love to see a 300ft+ coaster at lego land it would perfectly fit in with the other rides you could maybe put it in the duplo valley it would be the most amazing addition to the park

[@24kOwlz]

facts

[@MothproofJr]

@@beeman3369 why would i be joking its an epic idea and it would be the exact thing legoland needs right now

[@airtimeaddict]

Lol😂

[@ComediansCentre]

@@beeman3369oh my god bruh

[@jlhp]

@@MothproofJr It would be good, but would never happen, the one that is being built at the moment is barely 15m tall

[@adamtrue7691]

Imagine if RMC got its mitts on the BIG ONE (they do say that they will convert metal coasters if given the chance) they could increase the lift hill by a smidge (to beat project exodus) slap a few inversions and barrell rolls, have a crazy hangtime on that massive turnaround bank and we'd all be fighting each other to get through the doors of Pleasure beach

[@caffeinatedtrouble]

I went on Leviathan a couple of months ago at Canada's Wonderland and it was AMAZING. Blows all the UK coasters out of the water. Seriously, if UK parks want to have 'elite' or 'world class' level coasters they need to start thinking about breaking the 300+ft barrier

[@tayo0404]

Agreed but the issue is spacing all the current big theme park hardly have space but what these lot need to do is open another park and start a new to break records.

[@iliketrains3546]

All the biggest parks have no space and/or restrictions and all the small family parks are in the middle of nowhere with bags of space

[@caffeinatedtrouble]

Came on here to say precisely this. Leviathan rules

[@CoasterPro817]

I really think that the ‘project’ should have been a lot taller. I hope they build a new intamin giga. Thanks for the video Dan! Really appreciated,.

[@I_Like_Doorhandles69]

I think the Orion concept is the most probable. And it would probably go to Thorpe Park Or Flamingoland, Or Merlin could suprise us and make one at alton towers and dig 250 ft into the ground!

[@adamtrue7691]

lol yeah imagine that. A lift down into the centre of the earth to get on the ride JUST so it doesn't go above the tree lines :D

[@magicalhikari5859]

Or invest in genetically modified 300ft+ trees

[@eliasdellas7228]

Tbf altona towers doesn't build above the treeline cause of some visual pollution thing

[@emilymay3458]

I would love to see an RMC in the uk if it ever happens 😁

[@l0wh1n]

I really hope so, I want to ride a Giga so very much! Love the video Dan, Amazing as per usual!

[@dannybeast6660]

I had forgotten black mirror lives in my home park, just reminded me of all those investments into darren brown that could've been spent on a B+M hyper :(

[@1uck_tech]

Love your vids they are so fun to watch and make me feel distracted on life

[@flashback0978]

I am sure you will, we here in the US had to ask for a very long time if we would ever get a coaster with more than 7 inversions - It happened ... eventually

[@23adam57]

The thing is, our parks are either too small to house a giga, and if they're big enough they either have a height limit, or they can't afford one. Which is probs why we'll never get one. Unless lightwater turns round and gives us the Ultimate 2.0 😅😅

[@rowan_8755]

Love the video dan as always

[@EuroCoasters_]

Can we start a petition so that once Project Exodus opens, 'The Big One' has the be renamed to 'A Big One'

[@king_coaster]

Imagine they built stealth, on top of stealth! Also what’s with the white hexagons, maybe it’s teasing something? Speculation time!

[@thrillseekersuk]

I’m guessing merch drop

[@king_coaster]

@@thrillseekersuk yeah probably, can’t wait

[@Phalanx_member_1994]

Dan I love your videos ❤

[@CharleyBrandrick-fq8yu]

I would love to see a 300 or 400 ft triple launced spinning coaster at flamingo land or fantasy Island

[@greatwesternsky]

This triggered a memory in me of when I was a teen coaster enthusiast in the early 2000s and Blackpool Pleasure Beach was rumoured to be getting an Intamin Strata Accelerator. I kept on checking on the internet for updates for years but alas nothing came of it.

[@caffeinatedtrouble]

Woah just imagine if this had really happened. Would've changed the UK coaster scene practically overnight

[@fl8mef5re24]

Keep up the good content

[@heathercsgatorade5871]

Imagine it was at Chessington in a Thorpe park themed area. That would be epic

[@xenonrxsexenon8761]

You aren't wrong Dan, the big one is very whiplashy down that drop and the restraints suck. Although, still a great coaster!

[@edwardeats2843]

U said what I was thinking I was thinking about the bigger one the whole time

[@Tbt360noscoped]

I’m going BPB Tomorrow

[@wespearcey5953]

Looking at Exodus, the elements look very intresting, but after watching the concept ride....i was wondering where the second half of the ride is!! Cant see Thorpe Breaking the 300ft barrier!

[@leoharte6865]

I really hope so buyt where maybe the london resort and a intamin blitz which is like taron but 100 times taller

[@AllThingsWorld]

Did you know that you can see the exodus supports from the swarm brake run

[@RollerCoasterBeth]

Well I definitely don’t think it would go to Towers, with the treeline 😂 I can’t even begin to imagine how insane a 300ft coaster would be 🤯🤯🤯

[@xenonrxsexenon8761]

Haha, you'd be pulling insane amounts of G's that's for sure.

[@aarontaylor7750]

Damn you Dan you have got me excited for 2091 when the UK finally gets a giga.

[@StuntaMC]

29 seconds ago never been this early love the vid, and im sure there will be NOTHING to beat "the big one" because like its in the name nothing can get bigger than the big one

[@katashworth41]

I did see an RMC on London today, sadly it was a letting agent. Getting my hopes up like that.

[@Jhakalos]

300 ft tall wild mouse coming to uk?

[@danielboon8137]

The tallest coaster we have in the Netherlands is only 153 ft..... We're begging for 154 ft!

[@j1sh8]

[@just-dashin]

💀

[@potatogirlcultist19]

You can probably go higher at the cannabis cafe if you want.

[@I_Dont_Care49]

Project exodus planning application was so close to not go through so a 300 foot coaster that will be in like the next 60 years 😂😂

[@AverageLoz]

We can't even get enough houses built which are sorely needed because of Nimbys. A 300ft ain't happening ever 😂

[@user-et7nv7yi3x]

If it’s drop that count oblivion at Alton could be a mega coaster 😂

[@davidralli]

Could have memed this with a 2 second video just saying “no” 😂 That being said, i’d like to think we will eventually!

[@towersvsthorpe6969]

RMC actually announced they'll be making a 750ft replica of The Smiler at Adventure Island.

[@SmugsGame-cf5rp]

The Big one theme gives me nostalgia

[@mkenoly1]

Thorpe Park DID have plans to build a Giga ard 2003. I’m sure you’ll find the information about it somewhere.

[@jammypops7]

Perfect edition 2 Guliver's world if u ask me. Lots of room in the surrounding fields. The rides have been getting abit lackluster or even, there i say it, childish. It really needs some persaz. You never know, mabye rmc could convert Antelope but just add a tophat coz why not

[@spiker_rider10]

If it ever actually happens I could see something like fury 325 at the london resort.

[@TheKnexMaker]

I recon black pool kicks back at thorpe and goes 240. and then thorpe replaces stealth with a zamperla tophat gigga with a longer layout like accelerator

[@thepanman2024]

I do think we will get a giga but I doubt it will be thorpe. Especially after exodus. I'd say thrill woodie on swarm island or possibly an rmc raptor there

[@Sonderax]

Time for Blackpool to build the planned "bigger one" out into the sea

[@twistedcoasters1533]

Let’s face it, paultons park is getting a 400ft RMC next year themed to daddy pig and that’s gonna be the tallest in the uk.

[@Riley_Jarvis_the_sparky]

It's going to be the one and only THORPE PARK RESORT to build a 300ft+ coaster

[@andyhall109]

Dark horse... Paultons Park, they have the space and seem determined to play with the 'big boys'.

[@LouieSmuga]

Sick

[@reubenjacques8164]

GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS DAN SO EXITED FOR THIS GIGA HEARRATE REAVCHGED 175

[@freyajonesx]

OH YM HOD😊

[@thrillseekersuk]

Can’t wait for mercy drop

[@Mogojoegotube]

Easiest way to do it is literally just re-track stealth. Job done

[@wespearcey5953]

And put the reverse spike in like there doing with Top Thrill Dragster!! Could deffinatly see that!!

[@dyoshitimo932]

Project exodus is going to get really big planes from Heathrow Airport really got to watch out for the Egyptian theme random ride

[@ahmedalnajdi9956]

The uk is praying for a coaster over 300ft whilst my country (Kuwait) is praying for one decent coaster

[@operatormook1623]

I'm sure if Alton towers can build above treeline we will have 700ft coasters (Worlds first 700ft coaster)

[@rowan_8755]

Flamingo Land would be the only place with space and can build that high. But I don’t think they could afford a B&M. Maybe give Vekoma a shot.

[@pi3.14etc]

they should have enough money lol, just got back today and everything is about 3 times the price of any other shop

[@Dan-pv7cu]

Come on dan you know it’s not just by 1ft lmao, big one is 235ft from sea level, if exodus was from sea level it’ll be nearly 260ft

[@MaxwHH]

Canary Wharf with it peaking over JP Morgan 😂

[@evs7516]

I say we wont get a 300ft rollercoaster because of many reasons ( Alton’s tree height limit , Thorpe park’s exodus only being 236ft ) I really cannot come across thinking we are going to have a 300ft rollercoaster in the uk.

[@leoharte6865]

They should RMC hero and slap some extra hight on it

[@NinjaRicoYT]

whats that white screen hinting at? a new all day challenge? 0:59 and 9:05

[@caffeinatedtrouble]

I have a dream that one day a UK park will do both a B&M giga and an RMC Edit: I have done both I305 and Leviathan and both are fantastic

[@laytonjennings2332]

it would be easy for marketing, i'd imagine we'd see a giga in 10 years

[@yourfirstgrandad1816]

3:23 HEY VSAUCE MICHAEL HERE

[@user89userrrr]

project exodus was insane for the uk, but for the usa its just another coaster💀💀

[@Coolharry64]

Personally I don't think so. Thorpe Park have Exodus coming up, Alton Towers can't build above tree height, & I think Blackpool wanna keep the Big One. I would like to see a Thorpe Park RMC though, something a mix of Steel Vengeance & Iron Rattler, but not over 300ft. Also a new Sonic The Hedgehog themed land replacing Angry Birds Land would be so cool seeing as that's outdated now As for Alton Towers, they should get an RMC Raptor, & a B&M Dove Coaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach The most unexpected park could probably get a 300ft+ coaster, Flamingo Land probably. If Fun Spot Atlanta can get ArieForce One then anything is possible

[@DRPEPPER2424]

You excited for project exodus, and the idea?

[@stephenboshears4832]

Actually Blackpool flat out lies about the height of The Big One” it’s only 213’ tall and has a maximum elevation of 235’ above sea level (which is the number that they advertise as the structural height) So Project Exodus is actually 23’ taller not just 1’

[@fozzylozzy1131]

Someone should buy the land that is RAF Scampton and put in a 300ft red arrows themed giga coaster.

[@nathanconnolly2817]

The foundations for already been built in Blackpool for the big just under the big one across the road from the big one will see the foundations for already placed

[@rileybear0138]

I would love to retract sleath and change to to LSM and change the track

[@airtimeaddict]

If it is a B&M giga, I hope it doesn’t crack like my skull on infusion (for anyone who doesn’t understand, it is a fury325 joke)

[@mylesm6396]

Alton Towers cross-valley giga 👀

[@ShaunDixon1097]

Project exodus will actually be 23ft higher than the big one as the big one is measured from seal level to make it sound bigger

[@rowan_8755]

Build the flamingo land one in a live stream. Lift hill not launch.

[@nathanroberts23]

B&m giga on the back of swarm island?

[@MADZDWARF]

Did u use ultrakill music?

[@wespearcey5953]

Can only see it happening at Blackpool

[@casuallystalled]

imagine a 300 ft RMC in the UK, or really just any 300 ft or RMC in the UK

[@AmityAddict1979]

Interesting stuff. Also blackpool should build the bigger one and make it 335ft above sea level. Or mabye if london resort ever opens they could built a giga rmc trex

[@Rabbitzz]

Yea the big one is 213 feet so exodus is gonna be 23 feet taller I'm sure Dan knows this really lol having said that the big one was once the tallest in world and will still be the 7th tallest in Europe even after project exodus. And to hold the UK height record for 30 years is still hell of an accomplishment

[@urthvox]

Long live ''Project'' at Thorpe Park.

[@lukeh3183]

The big one is 213ft high. Project exodus is 23ft or 701cm or 7.01m or 7.66 yds or 276 inches.... 276 inches!!! higher , I mean who wouldnt want that ?

[@CoasterBlox]

Alton Towers is such an obvious pick for a giga

[@TheRollerCoasterGuy]

It doesnt really help that our biggest theme park cant build above the trees lol

[@_-Tripster2011-_]

Rmc the big dipper pleasure beach be the first in the uk to get one

[@totaldramasomething_]

Knowing the uk , we will never make an actual ‘tall coaster’

[@donaldmaxwell3428]

how about a 1000 foot rollercoaster uk

[@newsuperhdgraphic]

why don’t they place it in a field?

[@dyoshitimo932]

Alton Towers when they realise Orion is 300 foot but only has a height of 250 ft and goes 50 ft Underground precedes to build the longest tunnel ever of a roller coaster

[@elliotsmith5474]

no we won't, locals complained about stealths original planned height, and realistically unless flamingo land or Blackpool pleasure beach get one, thorpe was the only other option, Alton simply can't, Chessington won't because it doesn't fit the target audience.

[@Iamstupid0825]

I think towers will plant the tallest tree in the world to build a giga

[@TheWolfXCIX]

Not for decades at the minimum. Unless Blackpool builds something gimmicky like that intamin shuttle that was rumoured for busch gardens williamsburg

[@wags3603]

Realistically we’ll never get one in the foreseeable future- flamingo land doesn’t have the budget, Thorpe won’t want to break their own record (plus they had enough trouble getting permission for exodus, and the council and environmental agency in this country just look for reasons not to build anything 😢

[@JakeCoasters]

Alton, but underground

[@markymark-r]

If anyone takes the record BPB will.

[@SuperGaMer-cu8ps]

I think exodus should of been higher

[@liamcollinson5695]

In all honesty i don't think a taller or faster roller coaster is a good idea i would much rather see areas and rides like Rookburgh or fly then just making a ride 30ft taller heavy themeing is what i crave

[@handledav]

giga

[@Bimb87bc]

Hang on go to Blackpool. go on the beach dig a few feet down. Bobs your uncle the big one keeps it record.😁

[@bessechurger]

No.

[@saytwo131]

I can see the big one from my house

[@ZSGreenFalcon]

In an ideal world, Blackpool would dismantle the Big One, then build a 300ft+ ride and call it the Bigger One I really gotta stop making my comments before watching the whole video.
