Great rundown of the rides. I really enjoy all of the rides, but Nemesis has always been my favourite. Can't wait for it to open again next season after it's retrack. I love Spinball too, but I'm right on the height limit and have been refused on a few occasions, so I generally don't bother to queue for it. I'm actually 194cm but with shoes on, it pushes me past the 195cm for Spinball. Never been refused on Thirteen and thats 196cm.

Great video👍, been waiting for this for months

Everyone else watching this out of pure interest, me watching this cuz I have motion sickness and need to know what I physically can take when I go in September 🫣

To be honest, with more inversions on the smiler I think its more intense, but I do actually commend you for putting rita in the 3rd spot, it is quite intense

[Coaster_Focus]

Hey man, I enjoyed the video but I figured I’d let you know you tagged me for footage, but there’s actually another channel named Coaster Focus that you got the clips from!

321 subscribers?! How haven’t you got hundreds of thousands, keep up the good work!

Didn’t bother going on the smiler yesterday because thought it’d be a bit much for me, but considering you said nemesis had higher intensity has me thinking I’ll try it next time since I loved nemesis and it was a tame ride apart from maybe one or two loops which had me wobbly after getting off 😊

I feel like with the big 7 they can be categorised into 2 sections:
First you have the borderline family-thrill range with Th13teen, galactica & wicker man
Then you have the proper ‘white knuckle’ rides such as nemesis, smiler, Rita and oblivion,

I agree with your rankings except I’d actually put Rita at #2, it’s the only ride at towers that I’ve ever greyed out on, being on that first banked turn and also on the second bank turn over Th13teen’s entrance

[tomitankengine]

Not necessarily my favourite ride but Oblivion is the only ride at Alton that I find intense

[Sigmabob]

Rita is actually quite intense. Smiler/nemy are over all the most intense though. Great vid.

[garyskippracing]

Galactica is pretty soft I think, a cool experience but it’snot intense. Th13teen is no joke on the back row which also makes for a more enjoyable part two. I’d probably swap those around to how you’ve ordered them.

[Haddock_Muncher]

number 1 has got to be the monorail right?

[Kieron_Lee]

Great video as always, I think some longer content could help you grow and us as viewers as short videos seem like you really have to rush and work hard to pack it all in.

[Georgie]

my favourite was the smiler when i went a couple days ago, nemesis reborn wasnt that good i'd say, the que time was only an hour tho so i guess its good, id rate galactica above it tho because i had great fun pretending to be superman with my friend (we both sat at the front)

[epiccoasterz]

For intensity I would rank them
10 . Octo
9. RMT
8. Thirteen
7. Smiler
6. Spinball
5. Galactica
4. Wickerman
3. Oblivion
2. Rita
1. Nemesis

[jakesgreatadventures]

I think oblivion is the most intense if you are on it for the first time purely built on anticipation

[MrTitan]

I’ve been on the sonic spinball & it’s pretty intense

[wakt]

I believe I'm in the minority here, and I'm probably going to get a lot of hate and/or ridicule for this, but I have not experienced any ride that has topped the intensity of Rita's launch.

Don't get me wrong, I found Nemesis to be intense, but it was a "fun" sort of intense.

Rita is not the fastest roller coaster in the country or even the fastest in the Alton Towers park itself at 62 mph, but the launch felt as though it had catapulted me to double that speed when I rode it, not to mention how it made my stomach churn! With the exception of The Wicker Man, I have ridden every single ride at all the Merlin theme parks and not one of them - not even Stealth at Thorpe Park - made me hold on for dear life like when I experienced the launch on Rita. I know that this is my own personal experience and take, but I would have pushed the arrow all the way to "very high" on the intensity dial for Rita. For me, despite its basic layout after the launch, Rita has given me the most memorable experience of any ride I have ever ridden in the UK.

It'll be interesting to experience what The Wicker Man has to offer as I have not been to Alton Towers for some time now. It definitely looks very intense for a wooden coaster!

Also a massive thank you for posting this video!

😊

I did nemesis about 20 years ago whatever year rita came out..

Intensity? Rita, oblivion and smiler all go above nenesis.

I must be built weirdly cause the bottom of oblivion is horrible for me. Thats intense.

If you can catch wickerman at the back at the end of a nice busy day, that thing can shift. Amazes me they have it as a family coaster, though last time i went i hit it at 11 on a quiet day near the front and it felt like a different ride.

I honestly find nenesis as relaxing as air 🤣

[lucasthom]

I think that smiler is the most intense and spinball is top 3
