There\u2019s something quite pleasing about googling the scariest, worst etc rollercoasters in the UK. The results are so surprising from what I had in mind they would be. So, let\u2019s get on and rank them to this title. <\/span><\/p>\n

As always this blog post is purely for fun purposes and founded on my opinions. All ratings are based on how scary I would say they are from an open-minded perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Smiler – 9.7\/10:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I can completely understand why this is listed. Aside from The Smiler\u2019s tainted reputation over the years, it does look mean off-ride. Queuing beneath it in such proximity and having the atmospheric theming confining you is a moment of intimidation I can recall from my first ever time. On-ride I don\u2019t feel it\u2019s perhaps as unnerving as it looks but I am used to it now. Whenever we take on someone not used to it their reactions are always based on fear. So, I think this is a good one to be listed.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Stealth – 9.5\/10:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Again off-ride it looks straightforward but scary at the speed you race up that top-hat. On-ride I think is a-lot scarier than it is off. We done the front row not long ago and genuinely it gave me that terrifying feeling again. The moment of reaching the peak height with your bum just floating mid-air it\u2019s insane.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Wicker Man – 4\/10:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m not entirely sure about this been on the list. Yes, I\u2019m aware to a lot of people wooden rollercoasters are quite daunting due to them having that stigma of been the thing of the past & old. But I can\u2019t quite see how Wicker Man can be the scariest rollercoaster when there\u2019s things like Mumbo Jumbo existing. If this was from a child\u2019s perspective or someone who isn\u2019t exactly fond of rollercoasters then maybe. After all it is an airtime machine. But are we just classing it to be one of the scariest due to that typical mindset revolving around wooden rollercoasters?\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Colossus – 5\/10<\/span><\/h3>\n

To me, Colossus is not all that scary. However, the quantity of inversions can be enough to warrant for people to feel it is terrifying. Not to ignore the fact that actually Colossus is quite high too. Giving it an 5 out of 10 purely because I don\u2019t feel it\u2019s all that scary to me.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The Big One – 10\/10<\/span><\/h3>\n

The UKs tallest rollercoaster, of course it\u2019s the scariest. That first drop is petrifying given it looks like your plunging into the sea before that drastic halt to the side. If I\u2019m honest the scariest part of this is the turn around section. I wish for that part to be over so quickly it\u2019s unreal.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Dragons Fury – 3\/10<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yeah Dragons Fury isn\u2019t remotely scary. For younger people maybe. But it spins really fast when your sat backwards up the lift however it\u2019s just not scary or at least that\u2019s the case for me.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014-<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you think to the said scariest rollercoasters in the UK? Which do you agree & disagree with?<\/span><\/p>\n
