However there is a handful of them which still do. We&#8217;d love to know yours if you have any across our socials or below.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Oblivion at Alton Towers:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It may be simple &amp; short yet honestly it still packs a massive punch. The whole aspect of hanging over the edge before racing into a black hole is pretty scary! When the mist is on it really does add to the fear factor. We adore Oblivion but it still has the kick you get on the first ride.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_6453.jpg?resize=360%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s one main aspect of this coaster which still scares us, it&#8217;s the sheer height &amp; drop. Perhaps if you aren&#8217;t phased by heights then it probably it wouldn&#8217;t bother you. However we aren&#8217;t the biggest fans of height so this one is pretty scary. If you didn&#8217;t know Big One is the tallest coaster in the UK. As for the drop it&#8217;s very steep and pretty terrifying. Again we adore this rollercoaster a lot and the fact it still scares us shows just how much of a decent coaster it is really.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/19233056-927d-48fd-8950-c2e8d94bb5b0-2.jpg?resize=360%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Red Force at PortAventura World (Ferrari Land):<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not really the height of this which scares us given how fast it&#8217;s over with. However it&#8217;s the final section of launch which is pretty scary. It&#8217;s very intense and almost impossible to keep focus once hitting that section. That can be fairly scary given that sensation of been unable to control how close we get to blacking out. <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/img_2575.jpg?resize=360%2C239&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" width=\"360\" height=\"239\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>We hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed this blog &amp; we&#8217;d love to know yours!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Thank you for reading <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cb8cbb60-8e86-44a1-9e71-07246eddb6f0.png?w=960&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rollercoasters Which Still Scare Us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5053,5054],"tags":[39,43,76,79,106,578,575,256,257,536,325,576,577,398,402,405,448],"class_list":["post-325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-theme-parks","category-themed-attractions","tag-alton-towers","tag-amusement-park","tag-blackpool-pleasure-beach","tag-blackpool-resort","tag-coaster-in-review","tag-coasters-that-still-scares-us","tag-ferrari-land","tag-merlin-annual-pass","tag-merlin-entertainment","tag-oblivion","tag-portaventura-world","tag-red-force","tag-the-big-one","tag-theme-park","tag-theme-park-blogger","tag-theme-park-enthusiasts","tag-uk-theme-park"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/img_2575.jpg?fit=2048%2C1365&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb4qDv-5f","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=325"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2109,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325\/revisions\/2109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
