TOP 25 BEST Roller Coasters In The UK!! 

this really makes it clear how much merlin dominates the uk theme parks

1: smiler 2: swarm 3:stealth 4:saw the ride 5:oblivion 6: galactica 7:nemesis inferno 8: dragons fury 9: storm chaser 10:rita Thats my list dan! :)

Been waiting for an updated top uk coasters list!

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?

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!)

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.

My new number one in the uk has potentially changed to Stealth now.. I braved it last Saturday and absolutely loved it!

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.

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

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

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 💙

Awesome thanks for sharing!😁😁😁😎

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!"

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!

Looks good Dan, might be on mandrill soon but GCSE’s might be in the way of that

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 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

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 RU-vid 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

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 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

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

Amazing video Dan

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!

im so glad wickerman is really high up, its one of the best coasters at towers and its amazing

I agree with icon 😌 by far my favourite in the pleasure beach. Just the queue times are so longgg

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 😂😂

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.

I must admit Icon itself doesn't do much for me, but Enso absolutely blew me away. Well worth the £15 upcharge

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.

my #1 in UK is the wicker man.. it was my kids first coaster so it holds a special place to me :)

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 think Cobra or Storm chaser from Paultons deserve to make the list

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

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!

Grand National is so fun how it chucks you about. You'll be sore the next day but it's worth it.

A great video and list! We've not been to Pleasure Beach in a very long time, we need to take a visit soon

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!"

love this i think for me wicker man will be number one at alton towers

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 😅

Anything at BPB is my favourite, it might be because I live outside Blackpool in Lancaster. But I love going there

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!)

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.

DIGITALDAN YOU NEED TO RIDE THE SMILER ID LOVE TO SEE THAT VIDEO AND IM PRETTY SURE OTHER PEROPLE WOULD TO!!!!

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

Smiler Odyssey Galactica Rita Wicker man Nemesis (I know it’s gone but loved it) Millennium Spin ball wizzer Vampire

1.Hero 2.Rattlesnake 3.Octonauts 4. Trackless Nemesis

My top 5 UK coasters: 1. galactica 2. smiler 3. Nemesis 4. Velocity 5. Wickerman

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

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😃😃

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 ?

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

Adventure island is my local park and rage is my fav rollercoaster. Also will you be at sub terra opening on the 27th?

dragons fury at chessington was sooo good but the ride stopped when me and my uncle were on it

been to alton today. first ride on curse at alton manor, emily/10

Rita is brilliant and I ❤storm chaser spinball 13 and dragon fury

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

Thanks for putting wicker man at 2 it’s my favourite ride

Just the video I wanted

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

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?

You need to do one with pleasure wood hills rides.😊

In my opinion, stealth or swarm are probably my top two favs

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 :)

good vod dan. only thing that surprised me was no megafobia in the top 25.

Your top 4 are same as mine however I’m riding Sik next week so it may change 😮

Glad Saw made top 5. Best ride at thorpe

" 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

Totally agree with Wicker Man and Icon, but missing from your list are Megaphobia, Valhalla (controversial - is it a coaster?), Speed and Millennium 🎢

Omg I think icon is the best ride in the UK to as I went on it at the age of 8 😊

I love the vampire ride

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

1.stealth 2.smiler 3.saw 4.wickerman 5.swarm 6.icon 7.big one 8.big dipper 9. mandrill mayhem 10.Oblivion 11.Wallace and Gromit's Thrill-O-Matic (yes I have a lot if connection to this ride) 12.Colossus 13.Th13teen 14.Nemisis Inferno 15.Walking Dead the ride

I went on the pipes max when I went to a football tournament

I went on all roller coasters that was said in this in Blackpool

Mandrill Mayhem( chessington) is surprisingly good but simple

I agree with you favourite it's mine too

I am going next Sunday with my family members and 1 of my friend called Tyler can u tell me the best ride at Alton Towers?!

Top 5 for Chessington 1. Mandrill Mayhem 2. Vampire 3. Dragons fury 4. Kobra 5. Monkey swing My least favourite is rattlesnake, to rough and i almost got winded because when we stopped the bar dug into my stomach lol

As I rode Wickerman to weeks ago, I was disappointed. Definitely #3 at AT.

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🥲

Dreamlnd margate model railway no 1 must try for anyone brakes are controlled on the ride if that says much lol

1) Galactica 2) Wickerman 3) Storm Chaser 4) Smiler 5) Stealth

1. Swarm 2. Stealth 3. Icon 4. Smiler 5 Odyssey 6. Nemesis inferno 7. Wickerman 8. Oblivion 9. Saw 10 the Big one

Some notable rides missing from the list: Odyssey, Big Dipper, Sik, Megaphobia and Stormchaser.

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

So what’s the best theme park ?

I'm going to thorpe park for the first time as soon as collosus reopens... cait wait :D

Top 10 is odd but icon Mandrill mayhem Avalanche Swarm Oblivion Smiler Nemesis inferno Revolution Stealth storm chaser

Personally would suggest taking out Colossus and replacing it with Sik - as they are pretty much identical in track layout and Sik wins hands down with train design and seats that don't beat the hell out of you

1: Smiler 2: Nemises 😢 3: Icon 4: Wickerman 5: Swarm
