- Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington and Blackpool Pleasure Beach (and more obviously) are home to many of the UK's best rollercoasters! I haven't ridden all 207 coasters in the UK, but the ones I have i wanted to rank in a list, as the top 25 best UK rollercoasters. Ranging from Nemesis Inferno, Icon, The Smiler, Mandrill Mayhem and more!

this really makes it clear how much merlin dominates the uk theme parks
The only big non Merlin park I can think of is flamingo land

5:oblivion
6: galactica
7:nemesis inferno
8: dragons fury
9: storm chaser
10:rita
Thats my list dan! :)
RITA BUT NO ICON
I haven't been to Blackpool yet, going 2 tho
I can tell you are yet to get to Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Yeah lol the list would probably be very different
no nemesis 😢
My new number one in the uk has potentially changed to Stealth now.. I braved it last Saturday and absolutely loved it!
It’s incredible!! So glad you liked it!
Been waiting for an updated top uk coasters list!
The UK really does have some great coasters! I rode Storm Chaser at Paultons Park for the first time last week and absolutely loved it! It's shot into my top 10 here that's for sure 😁 (although there's still a few from your list that I've not had a chance to ride yet so that could well change again!)
Love paultons
@@BazzaFNme too
I thinks my fav is icon it is really smooth and has a great launch,
love your content Dan
I sadly can’t say I have risen very many of these but your list seems pretty accurate nonetheless. Epic video Dan, content amazing as per usual!
PS: What on earth happened to Sik?
Great list Dan, similar to my own, nice to see you saying something good about rita 😂 Very underrated imo. Looking forward to you riding hero all day, will you be trying Sik when you go because im sure that will make your top 10, a very good coaster.
I’ll definitely be trying out Sik! Looks great! 🔥
@@DigitalDan Trust me, it is! Back Row is the best place to sit, but front is good aswell
@@thecoasterhub8848 You get drenched on the front 💀💀💀
the atmosphere of The Smiler looks absolutely top, havent been to Alton Towers in over a decade but it makes me want to revisit again all by itself
honestly cant go wrong with vampire for me - its definitely in my top 10 somewhere, its just a ride that i know i will go on everytime im there and its not too scary for first timers! i took my friend there (who had never been on a rollercoaster) and vampire was the first thing we did - after that she was obsessed with rollercoasters!! ive been on basically every ride at chessington i think lol except dragons fury the queue is just always so long! and mandrill mayhem is also amazing in my ops!
I loved vampire the first time I went on it! Now I think I am ready for nemesis (after it reopens obviously)
I didn’t expect Icon to be number one but I’m really happy it is. We did Alton towers and Blackpool back to back and Icon was hands down my favourite rollercoaster I’ve been on in the UK. (Not been to flamingo land or chessingtons)
The smoothness of the ride, the comfort of the trains. The launches. I’m not good at element names but that second launch into the half loop with the twist at the top is my favourite element on a coaster ever.
I’m desperate to try velocicoaster one day
I must admit Icon itself doesn't do much for me, but Enso absolutely blew me away. Well worth the £15 upcharge
i love enso! next week ill be on that!!!!
The only coasters I've done in the UK are Alton Towers ones. I did do a video of my Top 20 Rollercoasters I've Been On between UK and Orlando. Anyway, for UK, my #1 is absolutely The Smiler. A lot of people say The Wickerman has the best lore, but I put that partially down to the fact that Towers scrubbed a fair amount of Smiler lore from the ride after the 2015 incident, so I think people may have forgotten just how good The Smiler's lore actually is. The entire time, there's the balance between joy and happiness but also the twisted, sinister undertones of the Ministry of Joy. Having watched the Smile Always UA-cam clips too helps understand the lore of the ride. Additionally, as an experience, The Smiler doesn't hold back, with it's immediate Inversion and though it stops halfways through, it's for a very fear-inducing vertical lift hill. Meanwhile, The Wickerman feels rather intense to begin with but I can't help but feel the last quarter loses it's momentum, and the final funnel feels like wasted space that could've had an amazing show effect to give a grand conclusion but it just ultimately feels anticlimactic, which is unfortunate because the pre-show and the main Wickerman itself provide such a good theme. In my opinion, I'd choose Th13teen over Wickerman (I know, unpopular opinion) because I feel Th13teen's theming runs through the entire experience, as there's a constant sense of fear through and while the first half could be considered "timid", the latter half is so unique and exciting.
Thanks for listening to my controversial coaster opinions
Looks good Dan, might be on mandrill soon but GCSE’s might be in the way of that
Best of luck with your GCSEs! You got this 🔥
1. Wickerman (1000% agree with you on this, leave your restraints slightly looser and bounce around like a mad thing!)
2. Swarm
3. Smiler
4. Shockwave
5. Velocity
6. Nemisis Inferno
7. Galactica
8. Saw
9. Stealth
10. Flying Fish.
Haven't been to pleasure beach or Chessington but I guess I need to after seeing this 😂😂
Flying fish 💀😂
My guy u shouldve picked Octonauts instead, it actually has a ‘drop’ and theming XD
Not w bad list tho! Id put Stealth at 4th and Shockwave at 6th, but other than that the list is accurate
Except for flying fish 💀💀
@@deadaccount2048 octonauts was closed when I went Towers 😂😭
Amazing video Dan
Thank you!
@@DigitalDan your welcome
Not done many of them but if those I have, this is my top 5.
5. The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
4. Kamali at Flamingo Land
3. Wickerman at Alton Towers
2. Sik at Flamingo Land
1. Smiler at Alton Towers
Special recommendation to: Thirteen (Alton Towers), Velocity (Flamingo Land), Oblivion (Alton Towers) and Rita (Alton Towers).
Now if I ever got the chance to do Thorpe Park and Chessington, the list would be seriously altered. Though not sure if any would beat Sik and Smiler.
dragons fury would
Sik is a great ride I love it
The more than vertical drop on rage and the sideways barrel roll that gives me concussion brings me to go on it 5 times yesterday
Rage is literally the only one on this list I have gone on.. But that is so relatable-
1.smiler
2.stealth
3.saw
4.wickerman
5.swarm
6.icon
7.big one
8.big dipper
9. mandrill mayhem
10.Oblivion
11. OG Nemisis
12.Wallace and Gromit
13.Th13teen
14.Nemisis Inferno
15.Walking Dead the ride
i agree icon is so so good i went on it so many times when i went to blackpool, however infusion (bp pleasure beach) is so horrible to ride however very satisfying to watch
I just went to Blackpool on Saturday and got to ride icon 3 times amazing rollercoaster and my first upside down coaster as well absolutely amazing. I love to see future rollercoaster at Blackpool pleasure beach or in the uk (maybe a bit longer lol)
I was meant to say future rollercoasters like icon in Blackpool pleasure beach or uk lol my bad
Great Timing. I was wondering if i should make a Uk or Finland trip this year... i cant decide, these rides look so good :( Even though Nemesis is down and the Mack hyper isnt there yet
What do you think
my top 10:
1:wickerman
2:icon
3:swarm
4:stealth
5:nemisis inferno
6:rita
7:mandrill mayhem
8:dragons fury
9:spinball wizzer
10:flying fish(maybe swap 9 and 10)
these are mine dan!
Awesome thanks for sharing!😁😁😁😎
Thanks for watching!
@@DigitalDan 😎😎😁❤️
Im going to Alton Towers soon, have any hacks or tips for being there like what rides to do first, and what rides not to do. Also love your channel.
Great list! And a nice selection from different theme parks, which is great to see.
Im surprised you didnt put Sik 9n your list as you mentioned all the other big coasters at Flamingo Land. Have you ridden Sik? Since riding it in April, its now in my top 5 UK coasters, it was that good.
I sadly haven’t ridden Sik, hope to next month though! 🔥
@@DigitalDan I think you will love it! Sik absolutely knocks Collosus out of the water. It's smooth as silk, every inversion is fine, and the last zoom around the lake...*chefs kiss*
Maybe you could treat yourself after riding Hero all day (I will pray for you)
@@DigitalDan Wouldnt it of made more sensible to do this video once you had ridden the coasters of the UK?
@@reputation8383 did u go to the yorkshire one? cos the sik there is one of the best coasters everr
@DaPotato yes! I went this Easter and was so impressed by Sik. Its definitely in my top 5 UK coasters now, either positi9j 3 or 4. Great ride!
Yes! Personally being from York the only good theme park near me is flamingo land, kumali was ROUGH! Mumbo Jumbo was amazing very unique and Sik was just, WOW.
When I went to Chessington a while ago, I was queuing for dragons fury and my mum noticed that the track was shaking a worrying amount every time a train went over it. Once we got to the station my mum asked an employee if the ride was supposed to shake that much and he just responded with "well it is a pretty old ride!"
it is supposed to shake that much dw. if it didnt shake then youd have an issue. It's to do with how much pressure is on it, if there was too much then it would be more unstable
:)
im so glad wickerman is really high up, its one of the best coasters at towers and its amazing
Dan can we get an updated top 10 in the world (if any have changed) another good video and I hope you are doing well as always 💙
Dan: "Yes i put it above The Smiler, PLEASE DONT SHOOT ME!"
Me: "Tom G Force take the shot please."
Tom: "THERES ALOT OF G FORCES IN THIS GUN SIR!"
i wish i wasnt young when i went to alton towers.. i wouldve gone on so many of the massive rides.
NICE RAGE GOT ON THERE I LOVE THAT I WENT ON IT 3 TIMES IN A ROW TWICE WHEN I WAS 7 (you can tell that i have been to adventure island ALOT * -definitely didnt go there monday- *
I agree with icon 😌 by far my favourite in the pleasure beach.
Just the queue times are so longgg
On Thursday The 8th of June, I went on a school trip and we went on *Mandrill Mayhem*
It was the *best* roller coaster out of all the ones I rode at chessington, such as *Dragons Fury* and *Cobra*!
I was sat next to my *teacher* and we were screaming and having the time of our lives!
my #1 in UK is the wicker man.. it was my kids first coaster so it holds a special place to me :)
Grand National is so fun how it chucks you about. You'll be sore the next day but it's worth it.
1.Hero
2.Rattlesnake
3.Octonauts
4. Trackless Nemesis
O my god I could not agree more
Trackless Nemesis 😂😂
I have ridden SAW last october and I came off with a head and back injury. So I hope they did some work on that one caue oh boy, rather send it to the scrap yard in my humble opinion and let Zierer build their Towercoaster/impulse model there.
Smiler
Odyssey
Galactica
Rita
Wicker man
Nemesis (I know it’s gone but loved it)
Millennium
Spin ball wizzer
Vampire
love this
i think for me wicker man will be number one at alton towers
I thought it was going to pass out on the icon but I actually loved it and I asked Dad to go on it again
just wondering , when will the stream be when you ride hero all day?
I went to Thorpe park yesterday and it was so fun all the rides were amazing, although my dad did lose his phone on stealth 😅
1- Icon
2- Wickerman
3- The Swarm
4- Nemesis
5- Galactica
6- Stealth
7- Nemesis Inferno
8- Oblivion
9- Big Dipper (bpb)
10- The Smiler
Havent been on big one, revolution, sik or mandrill
Anything at BPB is my favourite, it might be because I live outside Blackpool in Lancaster. But I love going there
My fav list (currently that I have been on): Galactica, Th13reen, The wicker man, rita
My fav list(on PoV cameras and other): The Smiler 🙂🙂🙂, Oblivion
there is no way some of these rides should be above Rita, haha so much hatred for the "queen of speed" :P cool vid as always mate
To say I’ve been on icon at first I was absolutely I was terrified but 10/10 I would still put icon at 1st it’s one of the best in my opinion
My top 5 UK coasters:
1. galactica
2. smiler
3. Nemesis
4. Velocity
5. Wickerman
Hero is easily the best. It is a zamperla stratacoaster that is just so amazing. It is cool because I like it so much how the turns are forceful and so fast and inversions make me flying and airtime too and lots of track like wild mouse at thorpe park I love it my chest is cool when I ride😃😃
Rita is brilliant and I ❤storm chaser spinball 13 and dragon fury
I'm visiting London for the first time and i have once choice to go with, and i need your help to made the right choice for the best park over there. so guys where i should go to have the best experience: Alton Tower or Thorpe park ?
Just the video I wanted
Adventure island is my local park and rage is my fav rollercoaster. Also will you be at sub terra opening on the 27th?
DIGITALDAN YOU NEED TO RIDE THE SMILER ID LOVE TO SEE THAT VIDEO AND IM PRETTY SURE OTHER PEROPLE WOULD TO!!!!
All the rides are fantastic
My top 25 in England (I haven't been to Oakwood) I haven't yet done Mandril Mayhem or Sik
25. Millennium Coaster: What it lacks in intensity it makes up for in fun and smoothness.
24. Nickelodeon Streak: A short but delightful airtime machine at Blackpool.
23. Shockwave: Once again, short but excellent.
22. Infusion: A good Vekoma SLC?! Yes, they do exist.
21. Rage: A typically fun Eurofighter and the highlight of Adventure Island.
20. Vampire: At over 30 years old, this Arrow Dynamics Suspended Coaster still packs a considerable punch.
19. Dragon's Fury: A wonderful spinning coaster.
18. Big Dipper: Old but golden. A true classic.
17. The Swarm: Too short to be one of my favourites, but I still think it's great.
16. Oblivion: When it's actually open, I always have a blast on it.
15. Kumali: A surprisingly excellent Vekoma SLC.
14. Velocity: Sorry Kumali, but I think this is Flamingo Land's best coaster.
13. Nemesis Inferno: A typically superb B&M Invert which is even better in the front.
12. Odyssey: It has a lot of downtime due to the pesky British weather. When you get on it, it's an absolute beast of a ride.
11. Rita: Justice for Rita! This ride is a speedy joy.
10. Colossus: It's not particularly rough anymore, so this ride is brilliant once again.
9. Grand National: Despite its roughness, this ride is an absolutely joyous experience in every other way.
8. Wicker Man: A truly incredible roller coaster that was SO much better than I expected.
7. Big One: Although the lack of airtime is disappointing, Big One is still a tremendously fun and intense ride that delivers an endless barrage of thrills. And it has the best first drop in the country.
6. Smiler: Despite its unfortunate history, this blisteringly intense and fast-paced ride is still one of the UK's finest.
5. Icon: The launches are weak, the rest of the ride is outstandingly good.
4. Galactica: I love B&M Flying Coasters and I adore this wonderful ride. It never needed VR, it was splendid as it was.
3. Stealth: More adrenaline in 30 seconds than most roller coasters produce in 2 minutes.
2. Saw - The Ride: Airtime, theming, intensity, hang-time, speed - this ride delivers everything I could ever watch. And, being a cinephile and a big horror fan, I appreciate it that much more. Not the best coaster in the UK, but my personal favourite.
1. Nemesis: What did you think it would be? Hero?
Oakwood isnt anything amazing, Megafobia is quite cool but overrated but Speed is actually a decent ride for the kind of park it’s in. Obviously can’t compete with things like Saw which have similar elements but definitely an underrated ride.
I have to say that Nemesis is my personal favourite, just the bit where it has no track is SO thrilling!
(Being serious, it really packs a punch, I love the theming, and that new track design just looks so good! I can't wait to try it out next year!)
no track... 🤨
@@Themepark_Onrides_BE As in it is currently in pieces
no track ???
Its being re-tracked
been to alton today. first ride on curse at alton manor, emily/10
Im only 14 lol and ive been on all of the rides you have except Rita , my faverout one is 100% 1-Swarm then its 2-oblivion , 3-stealth , 4-Smiler , 5-Saw the ride
My top 10 in the uk
1. Nemesis
2. Megafobia
3. Wickerman
4. Swarm
5. Smiler
6. Storm chaser
7. Nemesis inferno
8. Vampire
9. Stealth
10. Speed (no limits)
A lot of people may disagree with this selection, interested to hear your thoughts
I havent been to most parks up north yet, like flamingo and blackpool, keep that in mind :)
Completely agree with you, Megafobia is seriously underrated. Best woodie in the UK. Coming from a local welsh man 😋 great list also.
@@Airtimeandgoodtimes loved oakwood. 2 very good coasters in the middle of nowhere!!
Headed to tato park in ireland for the start of next years coaster season hopefully. I reckon ill have a new number 1 or 2 then!
@@Airtimeandgoodtimes the final helix on speed is also nuts! Only reason i didnt rate it higher, was because of the restraints being very tight. If not it would be a top 5 for sure.
I also think speed is the better eurofighter out of the 3 (i think) in the uk. I have been on Rage and Saw but found Saw to be rough and over rated. Rage is actually in 11 wasnt sure whether i liked it more than speed or not. My top 15 also had 13 and cobra, twp underrated family attractions for sure.
@@CoasterCollectorUK agree! Speed is definitely the most intense out of the other 2 in the UK. No one ever speaks about Speed because it’s at Oakwood. If it was in Alton towers or Thorpe it would be so popular.
1.Icon
2.Saw
3.revelution
4.swarm
5.infusion
6.grand national
7.nemisis inferno
8.big one
9.samari
10.rush
Thats my list! [icon is the best} never been to alton towers tho i am going soon
My 1 is Nemesis because I’ve had amazing rides on it this year
(I wonder why it’s been down for a few weeks)
It’s The Smiler btw
It's being rebuilt
@@EndlessBlitzFN I’m being sarcastic 💀
I think Cobra or Storm chaser from Paultons deserve to make the list
I think there is something wrong with me, an american teen with a fear of rollercoasters, being so intrested in british coasters
Thanks for putting wicker man at 2 it’s my favourite ride
In my opinion, stealth or swarm are probably my top two favs
HAPPY 40K
Thank you!
dragons fury at chessington was sooo good but the ride stopped when me and my uncle were on it
I thinkthat once I've done all of the biig rides I think it'll be 1.HYPERIA 2icon 3. smiler 4.swarm 5. nemesis 6.stealth 7.odyssy 8.wickerman 9. Megafobia 10.saw 11. Nemesis inferno 12. Speed 13.oblivion 14. Mandril mayhem,my current favourite 15.milleniem 16.kumali 17.shockwave 18.sik 🤢 19. Olimpia looping 20 . velocity 21. Galactica 22. Big one 23.rage 24.mumbo jumbo 25.infusion ❤ Great vid reply dan pls your on my Christmas list
completely agree, icon is honestly the best rollercoaster ive ever been on (tied with old nemesis). it may not be the tallest or the fastest but its so smooth and feels like you’re floating its somehow managed to be a relaxing rollercoaster? when i went to blackpool there was basically no queue and i went on it i think 12 times, would love to go again but unfortunately i’ve moved to east anglia which is means that i count it too far away to do as a day trip🥲
I am nine but absolutely love roller coasters my top four are
4 = revolution
3 = big one
2= Valhalla
1= icon
I have the hoodie , cap , shirt , ring and bag for the icon it is my absolute fav ride
i see you enjoy blackpool alot!
1: stealth thorpe park
2:smiler Alton towers
3: the swarm thorpe park
4:saw thorpe park
5: walking dead the ride thorpe park
6: oblivian Alton towers
7: nemesis reborn
8: thirteen Alton towers
9: mandrill mayhem chessington
10: dragons fury chessinton
Hyperia is my number one but I forgot about it
Dan: yes i put wickerman Infront of smiler please don't shoot me
Me: grrrrrrrr ok ok fine ill accept that fair enough 😂
My favorite coaster is nemesis and my 2nd fav is prob the swarm or icon
You need to do one with pleasure wood hills rides.😊
A great video and list! We've not been to Pleasure Beach in a very long time, we need to take a visit soon
Thanks so much! I definitely recommend a visit! 🔥
good vod dan. only thing that surprised me was no megafobia in the top 25.
Thank you! Sadly I haven’t ridden megafobia 🙁
Glad Saw made top 5. Best ride at thorpe
Been on vampire waiting 90mins in the line,being annoyed and tired but it was worth it
Been on Rita with no wait and not even in fast pass amazing went on it twice :D
Been on dragons fury worth the hour wait
Been on galactic worth it AND AT THE FRONT
Been on mandrill mayhem loved it worth it (you have to book your slot)
Been on
Totally agree with Wicker Man and Icon, but missing from your list are Megaphobia, Valhalla (controversial - is it a coaster?), Speed and Millennium 🎢
he hasn't been and valhalla is a water ride lmao
Mandrill Mayhem( chessington) is surprisingly good but simple
1. Swarm
2. Stealth
3. Icon
4. Smiler
5 Odyssey
6. Nemesis inferno
7. Wickerman
8. Oblivion
9. Saw
10 the Big one
Your top 4 are same as mine however I’m riding Sik next week so it may change 😮
As I rode Wickerman to weeks ago, I was disappointed. Definitely #3 at AT.
Not me sat staring at my list seeing how similar we are. Lots of them very close!
I went on the pipes max when I went to a football tournament
I'm going to thorpe park for the first time as soon as collosus reopens... cait wait :D
Have an amazing time!!
I went on all roller coasters that was said in this in Blackpool
Omg I think icon is the best ride in the UK to as I went on it at the age of 8
😊
Cool vid
Definitely agree with nemesis inferno but hated stealth
I went to thorpe park yesterday and walking dead the ride is so diffrent there because you go in a room watch a video then go through a long hallway and then you get on a rollercoaster but it doesnt go outside or have any massive drops and no inversions
Lol
Now I wanna see your Top 25 in Europe!
-Like if you agree
Smiler, oblivion, Galactica, Rita, nemesis, nemesis sub terror
GALACTICA AND WICKERMAN ARE MY FAVOURITE RIDES IN THE UK! 🎢😁
If I was a horse and the entire earth got hit by a meteor and everybody was dead, WHAT COASTER WOULD GO TO SIX FLAGS
" from the big one, to the smiler "
I genuinely thought he was gonna say " to the small one "
Also, I noticed that as soon as he mentiones velocity, on the clip of it a guy had his hands in the air on the coaster and he slipped and fell over.
I haven't explained that very well but go to 2:05
I'm surprised a couple of rides didn't make this list, but then again it's probably just because you haven't gotten round to riding them yet. My top 15 would probably be;
1. Wickerman
2. Icon
3. Stealth
4. Swarm
5. Oblivion
6. Smiler
7. Avalanche
8. Nemesis Inferno
9. Sik
10. Velocity
11. Dragon's Fury
12. Kumali
13. Storm Chaser
14. Mumbo Jumbo
15. Vampire
Some notable rides missing from the list: Odyssey, Big Dipper, Sik, Megaphobia and Stormchaser.
He hasn’t been on odyssey sik or megaphobia and idk if he been on stormchaser
I completely forgot about Paultons Park despite having done all the rides there, I’m stupid 😭😭 - as for the others I sadly haven’t had the chance to ride any of them yet 🙁
@@DigitalDan 😱😱😱😱😱😱 HOW HAVE YOU NOT RID SIK YET???!?!?!? ITS SO GOOD GO.ON IT PLEASE
