We’re going to go by the ones we’ve already experienced. I hope you guys enjoy this blog and these are the coasters I find are the must dos in the UK. There will be an individual park must do coaster blog to come soon.
Icon:
We are so lucky to have this little gem in the UK. It’s the only double launch and only launch to have inversions within the UK. A major factor that makes it so fab is the lap bars who doesn’t love a lap bar? The sheer amount of airtime is crazy I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s consistently intense but there’s small pops of intensity.
Nemesis:
She’s an absolute boss really and one of the real important coasters imo. Nemesis is practically everybody’s favourite amongst coaster enthusiasts as it is. Within the UK it’s without a doubt one of the of strongest coasters there is. It consistently rides beautifully with a decent amount of intensity.
The Big One:
Just like Nemesis it’s such a classic and the fact it’s 25 years old is fab. The skyline of Blackpool is gorgeous with the likes of this beast standing so high. It by all means isn’t the smoothest of coasters but it isn’t the worst neither. Big One is also the only hyper coaster within the UK.
Shockwave:
Exactly the same as The Big One & Nemesis they are all 25 years old. But Shockwave is only one out of two stand up coasters around. Not to forget the only of its kind in the UK. It isn’t the most comfortable as in restraint wise but front row is our favourite. It’s such a classic and isn’t spoken about enough.
Grand National:
By all means not the smoothest and certainly can be a little brutal at times. But it’s such a classic again and one of those you have to ride really. It’s always a great laugh when riding this coaster and personally I find it fab!
The Swarm:
Only winged coaster within the UK and in easily one of the best themed areas. It’s incredibly smooth and intense. Personally this coaster sits real high in our top 5 as it’s just incredible.
Stealth:
3,2,1 go go go… yep it’s something else really and a whole new level of fab. It’s the second highest coaster in the UK with Big One been the tallest. The amount of force and thrill that launch packs is insane.
Rollercoaster:
It isn’t spoken about enough but it’s easily one of the smoothest classic wooden coasters we’ve ever experienced.
Vampire:
It may be a family coaster but honestly we rate it a lot. If you aren’t into your big thrills this coaster is one of the must dos. I’d say it’s relevantly smooth and the speed it picks up is immense especially when it swings.
Wickerman:
One of the latest editions to the UKs line up and it’s simply one of the best too. It’s not just about the coaster it’s about the entire experience start to finish. If you love woodies you’d love this coaster for certain. There isn’t one section of the coaster where there isn’t air time, intensity or that is boring.
Dragons Fury;
It’s the best spinning coaster in the UK and has probably one of the best track layouts. The duration is also another factor of it been fab, we’d recommend grabbing the backwards seats going up the lift.
Dragon Coaster:
It’s easily one of the best themed coaster experiences. Mainly due to the dark ride section it’s crazily fab theming inside there. But when heading out into main part of the coaster there isn’t much to rave about. As for a coaster ride though it’s so fab and you could literally have your restraint as high as you wish. That’s always fun the no lap bar challenge!
Oblivion:
The only UK dive coaster and also the worlds first why wouldn’t you want to ride? It’s simple but fab. Honestly it’s still gives us those butterflies like the first time even after 3 years of riding it.
It turns out there’s so many I want to include in this list so I’m gonna put together individual theme parks must do coasters as well. What’s your ultimate must ride coasters within the UK let me know below in the comments.
