I thought following on from the amount of love we had of the between 1.1m-1.2m post<\/strong>. I thought I\u2019d share my recommendations for those tall enough to experience 1.4m rollercoasters. I\u2019m going to share the order of which I\u2019d recommend doing these coasters (some coasters may have a lower height restrictions).<\/span><\/p>\n

These are only my thoughts & recommendations of course everyone is different. Hope you enjoy. I\u2019ve only included 6 rollercoasters from across the parks I\u2019ve visited. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thirteen – Alton Towers:<\/span><\/h2>\n

I feel this is a fab way to begin the introduction into bigger rides. It may not phase many but the drop is pretty steep and the whole indoor section can really test your ability & love for more thrilling experiences for sure.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Icon – Blackpool Pleasure Beach:<\/span><\/h2>\n

I feel Icon could well be a fab intro to inversions & speed. The launch definitely ain’t all that forceful but it\u2019s a starter for future speeds right? The inversions are very minimalistic and spread out therefore it\u2019s a fab way to know if inversions are for you.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Galactica \/ Air – Alton Towers:<\/span><\/h2>\n

This coaster is pretty chilled. It\u2019s one which I wish was my first. The entire layout is pretty simple and fun. It could well be a fab introduction into more stranger & unfamiliar coasters that aren\u2019t your typical sit-down in a carriage one.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Shockwave – Drayton Manor:<\/span><\/h2>\n

My first thrill rollercoaster. The stand up element is definitely, something I prefer given the fact you feel more in control. It\u2019s a head on the approach towards inversions as well as you have the loop which I think is goals.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Nemesis Inferno – Thorpe Park:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Step in the right direction for intensity! Inferno offers lighter intense moments plus height from the lift hill. A feel for those areas of coasters. It\u2019s also short duration so if it\u2019s not your thing by time you know it, it\u2019ll be all over with.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Rita – Alton Towers:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Speed. Intensity. One of the best rides to begin with. It got such a short duration that by time it\u2019s over you\u2019ll be like is that it? It\u2019s a rollercoaster I\u2019ve known those who don\u2019t enjoy \u201cthrill & inversions\u201d to adore.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

I hope this is helpful to those with children or those who are afraid of thrill rollercoasters.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
