I think Galactica is a very under appreciated coaster and should be Credited more as an overall ride "experience" rather than as an intense ride as it is quite a serene unique ride. 👌
Yes, finally someone who appreciates galactica! Personally for me it is number 3 (behind smiler and nemesis) but it is one of the best roller-coasters to introduce a more thrilling experience to newcomers. I also love how comfy it is
@@WaterRoseGames2012 you don't feel like your going to fall at all, I've ridden it multiple times and if anything, it feels like you are flying which is the opposite of falling
I must have gone the wrong day aha. Every ride I got on took less the 20 minutes wait except oblivion. Waited about an hour to be quiet disappointed unfortunately
I remember going there when it was relatively new waiting 2 hours, then last time I visited the park a few years ago walked straight on, can't believe it's only 3s max at the top, feels like minutes when you're on the front staring into the abyss.
I love the noise that nemesis makes especially as it goes round the first corner after the first inversion. Its so fast and it sounds like its roaring. PERFECTIONNNNN
So what's the MOST laps of Runaway Mine Train you guys have had in one go? Best for us was 9 laps,this was last year and at the very end of the day.All the kids,and adults for that matter thought it was hilarious that each time we chanted the operators name out we got another lap 😄 Was a great end to an amazing day.
Im going to the park today and tommorow! What would I expect going on nemesis. I've been to thorpe park before and I've been on Swarm Nemesis Inferno Collossus Stealth but still waiting to go on Saw. Would Nemesis be scarier than Nemesis Infero
10.Octonauts 9.Runaway mine train 8. Rita 7.TH13TEEN 6. Spinball 5.Oblivion 4.Wicker man 3.Nemesis 2.The smiler 1.Galactica OK I can tell this will be controversial
How can you rank galactica that low :( I love that coaster! I went in the summer of 2020 and we stayed until late and we got like 8 rides on it! :) The theming in the station is amazing!
First time at Alton towers ever on Tuesday, genuinely thought the smiler would be my favourite no competition always thought the nemisis’ theming etc was what made it but when I went on it I was blown away, the intensity through the elements and the layout is unreal and it’s one of my favourites ever now
Loved hearing your thoughts to the coasters at Alton Towers! I've only ridden 4 of the coasters and here's how I rank them: 1 Wicker Man, 2 - Nemesis, 3 - Galactica, 4 - Runaway Mine Train. I rate WM over Nemesis beause it's (slightly) more smoother than Nemesis and I've ridden it more times. Would love you to do this style video for Thorpe Park in the future!
It feels like Alton Towers is like the ideal park to get over a fear of coasters. I don’t like big drops but there is enough going on here that I feel like I could work my way up to some of the bigger rides.
I've never been (I live in NEW England), but it's always fun to see the coasters in action and what people think of them! I'd like to go on The Smiler, Th13teen, and Wickerman one day -- but I'm not entirely sure any force on earth could get me to go on Oblivion. Good theming, sure, but I think being stopped at the top like that would scare the life out of me. XD
The Smiler is my bae not going to lie.. XD The theming, crazy intensity and memories made throughout the whole Smiler experience makes it my favourite. Got to give a shout out to Nemesis though, the location and theme as well as the uniqueness of the ride is world class. It may be lower on many people's list, but Thirteen did something I've never seen on a coaster before, one of the craziest parts to a coaster I've ever seen. The most unforgettable first ride of your life!
This is very hard! Compared to what I thought. But here's my rankings: 10. Octonauts RC Adventure (Sorry!) 9. Runaway Mine Train (Choo Choo!) 8. Spinball Whizzer (This Is Difficult!!) 7. Rita (Yeah, not much to this) 6. Galactica (It's definitely improved) 5. Oblivion (It's great, but short) 4. TH13TEEN (I've never not enjoyed) 3. Nemesis (Ok I love this but it's hard) 2. Wicker Man (Fantastic ride) 1. Smiler. Hope you enjoyed reading this :) And yes I do have a few reasons for why the Smiler is at number 1. I'll edit this later :)
True that, I was watching Shawns review on it and I put my fingers in my ears hah! Have a cracking memory of the Wraith being out and about through the day at scarefest one year, that added lots of value 🤣
I didnt had long time enough in this park, so here is my top 7 of the ones i got to ride 1 Nemesis: loved everything about it, Insane forces, and out of this world use of the terrain 2 Smiler 3 Wickerman 4 Oblivion 5 Th13teen 6 Rita 7 Galactica
Nemesis really is great, just something about being amongst all the rocky terrain. First time on smiler tuesday, probably my new favourite. I did love both rita and thirteen, just can't justify the queue times with how short they are though.
My Rankings: 1:Smiler 2:Nemesis 3:Wicker Man 4:Rita 5:Galactica 6:Oblivion 7:Thirteen 8:Spinball Wizzer(I Did Not Go On) 9:Runaway Minetrain 10:Octonauts Rollar Coaster
Great ranking, really makes me want to see if my friends want to go soon. I personally would have put Galactica/Air a lot higher but I respect that it's not for you.
9: River rapids - nice relaxing one 8: mine train - good end of day ride 7: Thirteen - not as thrilling as the first few times, you expect the drop 6: Rita - had a bad first experience, banged me head on the restraint a lot 5: Spin ball - good coaster but wouldnt go on it every visit 4: Nemesis - never been a fan of looping coasters (fear of throwing up everywhere lmao) but went on this and 95% sure i passed on the first loop lol 3: Galactica - was scared to go on this but so glad i did in the end. can get busy at times which is why its here 2: Oblivion - I would put 2nd and first as joint, was scared to go on oblivion at first but so glad i did as I love it, i remember going on it again and again and again with like a 5 min queue! 1: Wickerman - need i say more? Reason the smiler isnt here is i havent been on it before (im not a wuss ok lmao im scared of throwing up) i would go on it but i dont want to embarrass myself by throwing up over everyone, anyways me and my family are getting merlin passes next year to might get the courage to finally go on it
My list 10. Octoaughts 9. Runaway mine train 8. Spinball whizzer 7. Rita 6. Th13teen 5. Oblivion 4. Wicker man 3. Galactica 2. Nemesis 1. Smiler I love all of the rides and the only one I haven't been on is the octonaughts
My ranking is this: 10. Octonauts (its a kiddy coaster) 9. Mine train (fun but also basically a kiddie coaster) 8. Spinball (decent thrills but slightly rough) 7. Galactica (still good but a bit dull compared to the rest) 6. Thirteen (good fun and the drop is cool, but still a family coaster) 5. Rita (love the launch and enjoy the rest of the layout but not really worth more than a half hour wait) 4. Smiler (still very enjoyable but slightly overrated, also pretty rough in the back) 3. Nemesis (front row is elite, amazing unique layout, still the only coaster on this list that has made me grey out) 2. Wicker Man (incredible overall experience, awesome preshow, awesome mist effects, way faster than it looks, back row still freaks me out) 1. Oblivion (the drop. enough said)
My top ten is 10 octonauts 9 mine train 8 is th1rt33n 7 wicker man 6 spin ball 5 Rita 4 galactica 3smiler 2nemisis 1 oblivion bc I felt like I was falling off a buildibg
Great video! My order is: 1. The Smiler 2. Wicker Man 3. Galactica 4. Oblivion 5. Thirteen 6. Nemesis 7. Rita 8. Spinball Whizzer 9. Runaway Mine Train 10. Octonauts
I've only been on octonauts, runaway mine train and wickerman but my favorite is obviously wickerman. The only thing I don't like is the first drop as I hate drops.
My order is: 1) TH13TEEN 2) Nemesis 3) Wicker Man 4) Spinball Whizzer (but I think it's sadly becoming a very rough ride) 5) Rita 6) Galactica but I still ride it as Air because I hate the VR headset. 7) Smiler (I find it quite sore) 8) Oblivion (over far too quickly) 9) Runaway Mine Train 10) Octonaughts (never been on it but I did used to find the caterpillar coaster fun)
Makes me happy to see that spin ball whizzer is ranked above Rita. When I went on Rita it genuinely gave me a really bad headache on the first turnaround
In my opinion, one of the best moves Alton towers can do is replace Rita with another coaster. Maybe an intamin launched one like Taron etc, a new coaster that will be one of the best in the park, and maybe the world
Alton Towers is my home park and I enjoy Rita and Galactica more than 13 as 13 is not what it is advertised and looks to be. It is all hyped up to be a thrill ride when it’s not and it’s quite disappointing if you expect the drop track as that’s the only fun elements. Rita is a great ride as hydraulic Launch coasters are rare and the launch is still forceful and you can get some amazing airtime. Galactica is an amazing ride as it feels like you are flying and it is a very unique experience for the U.K. and it is a very good terrain coaster. My list is: 10. Octonauts 9. Runaway Mine Train 8. Thirteen 7. Spin ball 6. Rita 5. Galactica 4. Oblivion 3. Wicker Man 2. Smiler 1. Nemesis I would pick Smiler over Wicker Man as it is longer, faster and more enjoyable as both get similar queues and smiler is worth a 60 minute wait as it is over 3 minutes long.
I used to think the smiler was the best uk coaster but then after my first night rides on nemesis it was completely blown out of the water. Nemesis all the way
Hello Shawn, this is a great video and it was great to hear your opinion on the many different Rollercoasters at Alton Towers. Keep it up! Cheers Peter :)
For me, nemises has legendary status and will many peoples "first big coaster" but smiler is something else. Absolutely incredible, shout out to galactica (or air as I still refer to it as). For me it feels a little slower than the others but the sensation of flying is great, especially when you flip onto your back and you're fying backwards. Love it. Top 5 1 smiler 2 nemises 3 air 4 Rita 5 oblivion
I really love Galactica. It's so much fun flying around forbidden valley and it's amazing at night. A close 2nd for me is definitely Nemesis, it's just amazing. Wickerman is also incredible so that my 3rd fave. 4th is Thirteen and 5th is the Smiler. It was my first time on all of these rides and we did the Smiler first thing back row, it was awesome but made me so dizzy!
octonauts is the most thrilling and scary coaster of all
Should be number 1 really!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide agreed
@Vo1dY I haven’t been to this theme park but if I go the octonauts coaster looks so scary if I go on it I might faint. Hahaha
@@Jason-Clark235 it’s a kid rollar coaster I’d say you should deffo go to Alton towers if you like thrill!
Way scarier than the smiler

I think Galactica is a very under appreciated coaster and should be Credited more as an overall ride "experience" rather than as an intense ride as it is quite a serene unique ride. 👌
Yes, finally someone who appreciates galactica! Personally for me it is number 3 (behind smiler and nemesis) but it is one of the best roller-coasters to introduce a more thrilling experience to newcomers. I also love how comfy it is
It is a amazing ride but it’s the fact that if all the backup systems and main system broke you would fall

Mine is oblivion for only one reason. Everytime I'm going on it. NO QUEUE XD
same. its weird.
I must have gone the wrong day aha. Every ride I got on took less the 20 minutes wait except oblivion. Waited about an hour to be quiet disappointed unfortunately

xddd
Never had that luck when I've been on oblivion XD
Spinball whizzer would be higher on my list if the brake sections were meant to provide brakes for the car not my neck
Here before someone corrects your puns spelling
HAHAHAHAHA
Can’t believe octonauts is not your no.1! 😂 absolute classic
I would say the same about the mine train
I wouldn’t call it a classic
It’s just such an incredible coaster...
It’s just such an incredible coaster...
@@darth_ikea think you missed the sense of humour...
I love the noise that nemesis makes especially as it goes round the first corner after the first inversion. Its so fast and it sounds like its roaring. PERFECTIONNNNN
Let's hope it keeps some of that noise after it's been overhauled.
Nemesis is my number 2 after smiler, smiler just gets top spot for the theming.
Number 2 in park i mean

Back in the early 2000’s on a quiet evening we had about 16 laps! Couldn’t believe it!
I only got 3 and that was on scarefest.
@@ThemeParkWorldwide 16 JESUS

Nemesis is such a mental ride. Still my number one after all these years. Can’t wait to get back on the beast!!

Random people be like: roller coaster fans over there, they must love rides like Smiler and Oblivion
Roller Coaster fans: PRAISE THE OCTONAUTS
The run away mine train might be a kid ride but you get wiped around the turns
School? Forget it...

How can you rank galactica that low :( I love that coaster! I went in the summer of 2020 and we stayed until late and we got like 8 rides on it! :) The theming in the station is amazing!
the actual ride it's self is not that thrilling i don't think, i personally like faster coasters
Way better than Thirteen. 👍
Agreed....top 3 for me.
It’s just not for me, however I can completely understand that many people really enjoy it!
Its not really a thrill anymore tho is it

spinball would be higher for me if it was still sonic :(( the theming was so nice back then imo.
I believe dragons fury is still the better version though

I went in the que for oblivion than chickened out
@@pippa2361 honestly the drop is q bit much!

me: Is an adult...loves octonauts roller coaster
Alton towers is one of those parks i have to visit some day absolutely love the rides and theming troughout the park
I went on thirteen for the first time in around the summer of 2019, best ride I’ve ever been on
True that, I was watching Shawns review on it and I put my fingers in my ears hah! Have a cracking memory of the Wraith being out and about through the day at scarefest one year, that added lots of value 🤣

Reason the smiler isnt here is i havent been on it before (im not a wuss ok lmao im scared of throwing up) i would go on it but i dont want to embarrass myself by throwing up over everyone, anyways me and my family are getting merlin passes next year to might get the courage to finally go on it

Oooo wait till you go on stealth
When I went on spinball whizzer I was crying my eyes out I was rate scared but I was only 4 years old though 😂
Abit surprised you put 13 so high wasn't the biggest fan of it but it's the only coaster I've got stuck on 😂
If you ever get lucky enough to go on it in the rain youll put it in your top 3, the speed you get is elite
HE DIDN'T SAY CHOO CHOO WITH RUNAWAY MINE TRAIN!!!
BLASPHEMY! HERESAY!
This makes me want to go to Alton Towers even more!
Hopefully you get to go soon!
Didn't you rank the smiler above wicket man in top 10 UK coasters?
I've only been on octonauts, runaway mine train and wickerman but my favorite is obviously wickerman. The only thing I don't like is the first drop as I hate drops.
My order is:
1) TH13TEEN
2) Nemesis
3) Wicker Man
4) Spinball Whizzer (but I think it's sadly becoming a very rough ride)
5) Rita
6) Galactica but I still ride it as Air because I hate the VR headset.
7) Smiler (I find it quite sore)
8) Oblivion (over far too quickly)
9) Runaway Mine Train
10) Octonaughts (never been on it but I did used to find the caterpillar coaster fun)
Makes me happy to see that spin ball whizzer is ranked above Rita. When I went on Rita it genuinely gave me a really bad headache on the first turnaround
I’d rather ride the Octonauts coaster than ride Th13teen again. Most boring coaster I’ve been on
Alton Towers Rides That I Have Been On:
Wicker man x 2
Oblivion
Nemesis x 2
The Smiler x 2
Rita
Thi3teen
Galactica
My favourite is definitely smiler
The smiler, very intense
nemesis stays #1
Last time I went to Alton towers they were still building wicker man I was supposed to go but lockdown ruined it
Let’s hope you get to go soon!
Rita is a pretty good 1st launch coaster though (it was mine)
Nemesis gang. The ride that made me...me
Hey! dont know if you remember me but I was the boy who did the I fly with you in 2019. And my mum was there too.
In my opinion, one of the best moves Alton towers can do is replace Rita with another coaster. Maybe an intamin launched one like Taron etc, a new coaster that will be one of the best in the park, and maybe the world
No what makes the runaway mine train is the choo choo guy..
I think smiler was the best. The wickerman was a bit plain.

Alton Towers is my home park and I enjoy Rita and Galactica more than 13 as 13 is not what it is advertised and looks to be. It is all hyped up to be a thrill ride when it’s not and it’s quite disappointing if you expect the drop track as that’s the only fun elements. Rita is a great ride as hydraulic Launch coasters are rare and the launch is still forceful and you can get some amazing airtime. Galactica is an amazing ride as it feels like you are flying and it is a very unique experience for the U.K. and it is a very good terrain coaster. My list is:
10. Octonauts
9. Runaway Mine Train
8. Thirteen
7. Spin ball
6. Rita
5. Galactica
4. Oblivion
3. Wicker Man
2. Smiler
1. Nemesis
I would pick Smiler over Wicker Man as it is longer, faster and more enjoyable as both get similar queues and smiler is worth a 60 minute wait as it is over 3 minutes long.
Thanks for sharing your list!
I went to Alton towers but wicker man was closed- I wish it wasnt
Nemesis, Spinball Whizzer and the Runaway Mine Train are my highlight 3 at Alton Towers!
HIII love your vids and also my list is the same
ive been there but ive didnt go on rita or thirteen
Thirteen will always be my favourite but nemesis a close second, trying out the wicker man for the first time next weekend I can’t wait 😁
10: Octonauts
9: Runaway Mine Train
8: Spinball Whizzer
7: Rita
6: Air/Galactica
5: Th13teen
4: Oblivion
3: Wickerman
2: the Smiler
1: NEMESIS
Awesome list!
I found this by watching a video about the Smiler’s two wagons crashing into each other caught on security cams
It was such a sad incident
I used to think the smiler was the best uk coaster but then after my first night rides on nemesis it was completely blown out of the water. Nemesis all the way
Nemesis at night is incredible!
I completely disagree with galactica being put in 6th place, definitely number one for me!
I’m glad that you enjoy it! It’s still a great coaster, I’m just not a lover of flying coasters unfortunately!
my top 8
1. smiler
2. nemesis
3. rita
4. oblivion
5. wicker man
6. galactic
7. spin ball wizzer
8. thirteen
Runway mine train it well better than rita
My fave is probably the smiler
I think Galactica/air is the best
Hello Shawn, this is a great video and it was great to hear your opinion on the many different Rollercoasters at Alton Towers. Keep it up! Cheers Peter :)
For me, nemises has legendary status and will many peoples "first big coaster" but smiler is something else. Absolutely incredible, shout out to galactica (or air as I still refer to it as). For me it feels a little slower than the others but the sensation of flying is great, especially when you flip onto your back and you're fying backwards. Love it.
Top 5
1 smiler
2 nemises
3 air
4 Rita
5 oblivion
The smiler has tons of theming
I really love Galactica. It's so much fun flying around forbidden valley and it's amazing at night. A close 2nd for me is definitely Nemesis, it's just amazing. Wickerman is also incredible so that my 3rd fave. 4th is Thirteen and 5th is the Smiler.
It was my first time on all of these rides and we did the Smiler first thing back row, it was awesome but made me so dizzy!
