Thrill Rides at Alton Towers

Alton Towers has been famous for thrilling its guests ever since it opened as a theme park over twenty five years ago. There's been a number of changes to the line up over the years, but the current selection of rides promises to be amongst the most adrenaline inducing in the country. There's the famous big four of terrifying roller coasters, each with a thrillingly unique range of forces to experience. Encounter the graceful flying of Air, the inverted intensity of Nemesis, the vertical drop of Oblivion, and the sheer pace and airtime of Rita - Queen of Speed. They're all to enjoy during your visit to Alton Towers.

Not only that, but the theme park also contains another four top thrill rides. Walk to the Forbidden Valley and see if you can stomach the swinging of The Blade, a pirate ship style ride, or the swooping and flipping of Ripsaw as you are turned over and over before coming face to face with powerful water jets. Head to X-Sector and endure Submission, a gigantic pendulum with a rotating gondola, or endure super fast inversions without the comfort of restraints on Enterprise.

These are the eight biggest rides at Alton Towers, offering extraordinary thrills during your fun filled day.
