I think the most thoroughly boring water ride to ever exist has to be the since removed "The Flume" at Alton Towers, themed to Imperial Lather. Literally *_nothing_* happened, there was hardly any theming, so the majority of the ride was just sitting in a boat slowly bumping down an algae ridden blue half pipe. fun. So glad they got rid of it.
@@sebcat_04 really? Well then I’m glad they replaced it with Wickerman! What a coaster haha
walking outside is a water ride, we don't need them
@@Somebritishguyontheinternet so true fruit shoot man. They are nice in the summer though when we do have nice days even if that is 1/100
Me personally, my favorite inversions are B&M invert ones. Something about being ripped through tight vertical loops and zero g rolls and the sense of danger with your legs dangling and feet under the track is really fun to me.
@@brutalhellhamerer Same here they feel very intense in G force and usually transition the best!

Well we are getting a heatwave rn haha... Just got back from universal and disney and their water rides are just insane :DD Defo think its a theming thing... We have 'theme' parks but very few actually have much theme, more just some rides with some similar colours dotted around. Can't wait for universal UK though, might bring a good water ride to uk??! Oh and while I'm at it... My favourite water ride is probably tiana's bayou adventure. Either because I literally rode it yesterday or the fact that the whole thing is just theming and great animatronics for 11 MINUTES D:

Was one of the last to ride Vickings. Was a good ride, believe it closed due to structural issues with it being built on a hill. I think the hill element worked well for it before Ninjago which blocked the veiw. It had some nice themeing along the ride with the Lego Models. Probably the best themed rapids in the uk outside of the 'ugly' ride structure. Then again have only done Merlin rapids. Obviously the others have nice elements like tunnels alongside other rides, waterfalls and more sharp drops. Vickings also had an epic station area that in my mind beats all the others. I hope they keep it for whatever replaces Vikings. Obviously the queue line design could have been better. Legoland did fill the void of Vickings by opening Minifigure Speedway, another nice family thrill ride. The Vickings area has great potential and im sure they will make good use of the space after a couple of years. Legoland has a nice selection of classic water rides.
@@samexahr3326 i doubt they will go back to vikings to be honest, with ninjagos 15th anniversary on the way I could see them extending that area? Maybe a new mack spinning coaster? They are building one in Korea right now actually! Or some flat rides but Legoland has a great selection of flat rides they are just missing another water ride or another coaster for sure! Viking river splash in its prime was great but it’s sad to look at now I doubt they will revive the ride system because it was too expensive to run. It was definitely the better rapids I guess now the best rapids is congo river at Alton Towers because at least that had a coherent theme. Rumba rapids has nothing going for it and its a waste of space imo. Also sorry i know this is long but I hope they keep the dragon models from the viking area they are very cool

I remember lapping pirate river falls in February
@@thisisjustanchannel oh dear I didnt even think they were open in February! Haha you are very brave but it’s a great ride for sure :)
I used to love Viking River Splash, it was a disappointment when I rode it on September before it closed as the theming as not great by then but when the theming was good it was one of my favourite rides at Legoland. I rode it twice in the rain just before it closed (absolutely tipped) as I wanted to experience it before it closed forever. I hated Loggers Leap though as I got thrown high out of the back of the boat and crashed back down hard onto the seat so the bottom of my back still hurts now if I sit for too long on a hard chair (I rode it back in 2010 I think). It put me off of log flume rides. Yes I wore jeans for all of these rides! Also Chessington is my favourite Theme Park
@@littlemissgiggles165OH DEARY ME JEANS ON EVERYTHING LMAOO that’s definitely a choice! Also agreed viking river splash when it worked was a fun family attraction and one of the better rides! That ice dragon was so cool and definitely a highlight :) Thats a shame that you don’t like log flumes I never got to ride loggers leap as I was too afraid of rollercoasters haha but other log flumes like pirate falls and tiger rock aren’t rough at all! Chessington being your fav is so cool of you, mine too haha but its a secret LMAO
Personally Chessington isn't my favourite but I can see why it could be a favourite. Thorpe is my least favourite of the merlin Parks. Most of the main rides contain elements which I don't enjoy. I would happily give it the crown of being the thrill capital, but that's not what I personally look for in a park. My favourite is Alton Towers, many great thrill rides more to my taste. Nice theming too. Main issue is how far away it is. Legoland is second as its my childhood park and has great classics like fairytale brook. Chessington is 3rd. Likely how Legoland may have looked if it had remained as Windsor Safari Park. Very nice themed rides like Vampire. Thorpe is 4th, it's a nice park, but isn't the first one I would go for.
@@samexahr3326 thats so understandable! I think Alton Towers and chessington are my favourites and thorpe park is a close second. I like chessington a lot because its a full day for me. If its busy i don’t really enjoy thorpe because I don’t like the flat rides they offer as they are too intense! Legoland is pure nostalgia i have so many happy memories there and will never turn a day down there but its not my favourite anymore because I like having more thrills haha

I'd argue that Colossus is was more repetitive than the Smiler when it comes to inversions! I think inversions can make roller coasters better, if they're used in the right place. Inversions for the sake of inversions aren't great. Inversions to provide unique forces or more compact layouts are great!
@@coasterbot oh wow I’m a big fan of your videos man! Thats so cool that you’ve watched my stuff. For me colossus wins over the smiler because I genuinely think its more comfortable but obviously lots of people don’t agree with that haha. But so true I agree that they should have a purpose, I prefer the first half of colossus over the second but I still enjoy being in a washing machine for a bit!

SO TRUE, this is the only way hehehe
the smiler was my favourite coaster at alton towers, i was lucky to be put in the front seat (as terrified as i was) which i hear is the smoothest. I also dont get motion sick, so being flipped around constantly was actually very enjoyable. galactica second, wickerman third. i think the smiler only gets away with 14 inversions because of the clever theming. the extremely industrial theme with the giant spider structure gives it my favourite theming (until they hopefully refurbish galactica... poor puddle)
@@Saismee i know! Justice for Galactica. To me the Smiler is a sensory overload but its supposed to be so I can just pass it off as not for me! Its great to look at off ride though and yes you are right front row is like the only good seat. Lord almighty 3 and 4 are terrible. I spent most of my time on smiler complaining rather than enjoying it haha. But of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion and thats what makes it interesting!
definitely my least favourite out of all the ones i went on, but it definitely has its place. its just so great seeing the trains plunge into the darkness with the big whoosh of smoke. (also its pronounced "bolliger (hard g) and mab-i-yard but you arent the only one struggling)
@@Saismee ITS MAB-I-YARD?? WHAT ABOUT THE LL’S OH NO I’m sorry for butchering it. I will probably continue to say it wrong but i’ll try my best haha, I love oblivion! I know its short but its still a great drop one of the best in the UK for sure

@@nothingisnissimgcoolio i get it thats very funny. Love myself a good dad joke LMAOO
Smiler is my second favourite ride in the country, I know there's 5 corkscrews but I don't find the ride too repetitive I like the range of different inversions and I haven't tried colossus as I'm too tall to fit on it. I absolutely love Inversions but even then 50% of my top 10 coasters don't have any inversions at all i.e taron, redforce, Goliath (holland), Shambhala, Troy. I think RMC are the best at mixing airtime and mesmerising inversions into a glass smooth cohesive layout.
@@Rabbitzz completely agree about the rmcs they have the most variety by far! Thats great to know, i dont really like the smiler it gets a bit too repetitive and its been riding quite rough recently, but yeah i actually didn’t realise how many inversions my favourite rides had until I looked at my top 10 and most only have 4-5 I dont have experience with coasters outside of the UK though! Ive only been to Legoland Billund thats the only park I’ve visited thats not in the UK because I loved lego so I was taken for my birthday! So my top 10 wont be the as varied
@@Q4Coasters yea the smiler definitely isn't smooth I've only had one really bad ride on it a couple years ago but the odd jolts don't bother me I absolutely love the double corkscrew at the end just the exit of the cobra roll that gets ya 😆. And that's fair I've only recently started getting to more abroad parks I've done 9 new ones this year, 7 of those with a company called coaster breaks which I highly recommend looking into if you ever have the spare cash it was hell of an experience doing 7 parks in 7 days.
@@Rabbitzz that sounds great! Thank you so much for the recommendation I’ll definitely look into it :D
@@Q4Coasters yea no probs ever want anymore recommendations or anything lemme know :)
Velocicoaster is still as amazing as when I first rode it years ago. Great experience with no memorable roughness when I've been on the front and back rows, and yes that Mosasaurus is more insane that it looks, you are actually thrown with force out of your seat into the lap bar restraint it's amazing. Shoutout to Iron Gwazi though, it was my first and still currently the only RMC I've been able to ride and with my first experience I was at a loss for words on how smooth a rollercoaster could be, the entire thing is just silky smooth the whole way with no jitters or bumps and that part blew me away just as much as the ride itself, and the smoothness was still there a year later. Why we don't have an RMC anywhere in the UK is really annoying though. It doesn't have to be anything super big or special just please any RMC xD
real, level out rumba rapids and give us an rmc PLEASE LMAOO. That's really great to know thank you for telling me about both coasters! they are still on my bucket list unfortunately haha never done either yet :D
also that's really odd I thought that rmcs would be similar to woodies, that's crazy that they are smooth now I'm more excited to try it :O
@@Q4Coasters I think over a long period of time they do begin to show signs of roughness at least what I remember hearing from Coaster Studios on old RMC's. But from my experiences Iron Gwazi was legitimately perfect in smoothness. Granted I was in the front row for all these rides but it still just shocks me each time
@@Q4Coasters There is one thing I've just found kind of interesting about what I've seen and heard about Velocicoaster's Intensity. My Dad and I rode it together and we had complete polar opposite opinions where I loved everything about it and he hated everything about it. And my mom standing at the exit was hearing complete opposite opinions from those who've rode it saying it was the best and those saying never again. Though the one thing that puzzled me was my Dad and someone else who we met that said Hulk is a way less intense ride which I cannot fully understand as Hulk really pushes on you hard with the forces at times. I guess maybe because there's little breaks between each part while Velocicoaster is a continuous adrenaline rush but doesn't have that same strong punch as hulk. I don't know if that makes any sense. Btw not saying Hulk is bad it's great but I would definitely consider it more punchy in it's forces
@@sapphirestorm9964 no I totally get what you are saying! I can imagine velocicoaster is very intense because of the launches throughout! Does hulk only have the one launch at the start? I can’t remember sorry haha! Thats very interesting i love hearing peoples thoughts but I wish i had more to add, i cant comment because I haven’t done either!
Totally agree with all points in this vid! Oblivion walked, so that the likes of Sheikra, Valkyria and Yukon Striker could run. Imo, a dive coaster has 1 job and thats to dive vertically. Blivvy does that to perfection 👌🏿
totally with you on that! oblivion is a one drop wonder but not in a bad way at all, it keeps its momentum the whole way through until the break run and going through a dark tunnel is just bad ass. It's also nice and cool on a summers day!
I was working in management at Chessington during 2012 and I remember that year we had one of the wettest summers for a very long time, which really impacted visitor numbers across all merlin parks. Also, it was the year of the Olympics, so from a tourism pov, 2012 was always going to throw up some anomalies.
that's a great point! I have no memory of 2012 tbh I was a lot younger haha, that's a fair argument. I guess people were put off by both things!
My first inverted coasters was air and original nemesis
@@tpmuk-beechhillsfinest very great choices! I think if i lived closer galactica would definitely be my first invert
My favourite coaster is insane, yet it doesn’t invert. dc rivals hypercoaster
@@GingerbreadHen oooh ill have a look right now! Thanks for telling me sounds like a cool coaster :D
I supposed a practical way of trying to break the smiler record is to make a mobius loop dueling coaster with 8 inversions on each side. That way the ride is long but you can also do some creative things with the dueling, like what's done on Twisted Colossus.
that actually sounds like a great idea! lots of inversions can work but the ride has to be longer haha! :D
Smiler for me is an experience in and of itself. Almost like how a flat ride might aim to disorient. Do I think it's the hallmark of good coaster design? No. Do I enjoy it for what it is? Yes. I think there are coasters that are demonstrably worse off for chasing inversion records, but inversions definitely can have their place. I can't imagine nemesis without inversions, it would be such a different ride experience. But I also don't think inversions are necessary for thrill. I very much don't agree with people who say Taron needs an inversion.
totally agreed! you make some great points not every coaster needs inversions like i discussed but I didn't mean that we don't need them at all. Like any element we need variety for it to be enjoyable and anyway different people like different things meaning some will prefer airtime over positive or negative G's. But I love that you mentioned Taron that's a great example that I should have used in my video tbh ahahaha! The Smiler just definitely isn't for me but its amazing to look at. I love watching it and its crazy how they fit something like that into such a small space :D
@Q4Coasters So true about preferring different things! Mind you, I'm the weirdo that likes the last two inversions on Smiler which I'm fairly sure most (sane) people dislike
@@ScaredyCatRidesRides oh no the actual inversion is fine its just a bit rough its more the cobra roll that hurts more like the second half of it haha! but I like colossus so I can't really say much tbh ahahha
@Q4Coasters lol! My issue with Colossus is that it's uncomfortable trains before you've even left the station. I don't mind the layout or the roughness on the layout but the trains just suck
@@ScaredyCatRidesRides oh yeah 100% the trains suck haha, they should be replaced then more people would enjoy it!
Got the same problem as most coasters in the UK, they're just baby versions of what you can get elsewhere.
yes but I think that's a good thing for people that are a bit scared or nervous its more of a stepping stone! but also the UK are responsible for a lot of world firsts in design and we set the standard earlier on. While our coasters might not be huge I love them for what they are, also the theming on a lot of them are better than a lot of American coasters. I prefer a themed experience to an amusement park type one
@@Q4Coasters Yeah but those days ended long ago and only really covered 1994 to 2002. Then we did not much of anything for 20 years, you can only look at The Smiler and go "no one else has a coaster like that", everything else wouldn't even make the top 50 even in their day. Alton Towers has done nothing for six years again, the coaster they teased will be some boring family indoor coaster. Where are the big hitters? Wickerman and Icon were both just okay and Hyperia is the only thrill coaster for the next several years most likely.
@@Chico-m9y oh damn ok you really don’t like alton towers! I’m sorry that its not your favourite I agree that they need more investments but they are heading in the right direction. Also nothing is confirmed for the indoor ride we have no clue if its family or thrill as we can’t see it. I like all of our parks for what they are. Given the funding we have in comparison its quite impressive and even though we might not have the best coasters in the world I really enjoy them and its okay if you don’t! :D. But you can’t deny the impact the UK had on coasters early on
@@Chico-m9y also forgot to mention that this year we have had more investments in coasters than ever before so its a big year for the 2024 UK Rollercoaster industry!
I was willing to believe this for a bit until you started talking about loving the prelift sections...is this rage bait? For people (like me) who prefer positive Gs over airtime, inversions are almost necessity. Without them, every non-airtime-focused coaster would just be a Giovanola hyper.
@@xarq0n No haha not rage bait at all! Prelift sections can also contain inversions and intense sections it’s not always tame. Saw the ride at thorpe park has a pretty intense indoor dark section that makes it very interesting! I love positive G force but you can gain that from lots of different elements. Inversion spam like the smiler lacks in force because of the amount it inverts. 4-5 inversions is the sweet spot for rollercoasters imo but of course you are entitled to your own opinion! :D
I disagree its a really enjoyable attraction
@@CorbincordelL oh i never said i disliked it! It’s in my top 10 it’s a really great ride. Its just the general public didn’t like it and it didn’t increase the park gate like they wanted it to so it was a commercial failure :D
Another good example of a major coaster type without inversions are B&M Hypers, such as Mako at Seaworld Orlando. It’s thrilling and fun without inverting
@@Liight yes I totally forgot to mention hypers! I didn’t actually remember that Mako didn’t have any inversions. What a beauty of a coaster that is. Its on my bucket list for sure!
