It seems that every summer, a fun park somewhere in the world opens a new roller coaster that is longer, faster, or taller, has more loops than all the others that have gone before.
Three roller coasters in the UK rang up at 12 million: Pepsi Max Big One at Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, Stealth at Thorpe Park, and Air at Alton Towers.
Every summer it seems that one British amusement park or another has added a phenomenal new ride guaranteed to thrill even the hardest core thrill ride enthusiasts. This is great for those who enjoy amusement parks because there is an abundance of choice. Here, alphabetically are the 10 largest amusement parks in Britain.
Thirty years ago, theme parks began adding more extreme thrill rides. British amusement parks evolved from traveling fairs created just for those who wanted to “escape” for a night or day from regular life. This were done to cater to those who would gladly stand in a queue for an hour for the chance to experience the cathartic thrill of hurtling down a track at 60 miles per hour in an open-topped train.
Have you ever watched a roller coaster and thought to yourself, “Why don’t the cars fly off the tracks?”Have you ever been on a roller coaster and wondered how the train stays on the track?
