Is it even a new year without some kind of blog post like this? Well, 2021 hasn’t started as we all would have liked it. However, I’m hopeful normality will begin to creep in sometime soon. Therefore I’m going to talk about 5 UK coasters I hope to ride this year.
5 – Astro Storm – Brean Leisure Park:
Unfortunately for me I never got to experience this coaster whilst it was at Blackpool Pleasure Beach as Space Invader. So I’ve always had this popped somewhere in my list to ride. But after some hours of trip planning, I’ve finally put together a plan of action for a road trip down that end of the UK. Therefore I aim to get on this coaster once & for all!
4 – The Ultimate – Lightwater Valley:
I’m uncertain at how high my chances are in regards to riding this but I’m also not going to speculate any potential future of it neither. My main hope is I finally get to ride this coaster this year. I’ve been meaning to get on it for a very long time. Although I’ve heard it’s brutal I’m confident it’ll be worth the achy bones and bruises!
3 – Rage – Adventure Island:
Originally we did plan on visiting during their winter weekends in 2020. However creds are not as important to us as protecting other people & ourselves from this virus. Therefore it’s made this list. Once normality begins to make an appearance I’ll be booking a trip to Adventure Island. I have been desperate to experience Rage as our last Gerstlauer in the UK but also because it looks fab. After riding Speed last summer I can’t help but feel hyped to ride Rage!
2 – Inversion – Flamingo Land:
Is this even it’s actual name? Or am I just making this up? Please let me know in the comments haha. Anyway aside from my self-doubt on the actual name of this coaster, I am VERY excited to experience another of this kind. The fact it has lap bars is a huge reason behind me been so hyped. I feel it could answer all the wishes I had for Colossus yet I don’t particularly want to compare the two. Either way, I am very excited to see what this coaster has to offer & how it’s going to ride.
1 – Storm Chaser – Paultons Park:
I can’t lie I’ve been so hyped for this coaster ever since the area got announced. The fact it had been delayed a year has made that excitement grow so much more. I think the delay has just made me more appreciative of when it does open but it has also built up the anticipation so much. Also, it is our first ever Mack Spinning so that counts for something!
Do you have a list of UK rollercoasters you want to ride this year? I’d love to hear all about them in the comments or across our socials so we can have a chin wag!
Thank you for reading as always & I hope wherever you wish to visit in 2021 is fulfilled!
