ICON

The £16m Thrill Ride is the first multi-launch roller coaster in the United Kingdom. Manufactured by Mack Rides of Germany, the UK’s first double-launch roller coaster uses Linear Synchronous Motors (LSM) to propel the train along the track, accelerating from 0-80kph in 2.25 seconds before reaching heights of 88ft at speeds of up to 85kph. The £16m ICON roller coaster interacts closely with other rides and attractions 15 times during its high-speed journey, giving it the title of the world’s most interactive ride. In our opinion ICON is one of the best roller coasters in the UK.

The Big Dipper

The Big Dipper is a classic high-speed, turbulent wooden rollercoaster suitable for all thrill-seekers. Featuring five awesome drops and a host of twisting and banked turns this Blackpool Pleasure Beach icon is a world-famous classic wooden rollercoaster.

Grand National

Opened in 1935, The Grand National was Europe’s first twin-track racing coaster, a true classic high-speed, racing wooden roller coaster suitable for all thrill-seekers.
