My Top 5 UK Coasters To Ride This Summer

So it's safe to say that the idea of travelling very far this year, is looking, well a little slim.

But rather than focusing on the negative stuff, I wanted to do an article about things we can look forward to that are closer to home!

So I wanted to create a list of my Top 5 coasters that I can't wait to ride, when this is all over.

5). NEMESIS

You simply can't beat a ride on this puppy! The forces, the various elements that we all know and love, it's the true definition of a classic! 

On a summer's morning you can't beat getting up early to use those extra park hours, while riding through the beautiful landscapes of AT! 

Bring on those stall turns! 

4). SHOCKWAVE 

Now I will put my hands up here, I have never ridden this coaster! 

I know it's almost blasphemy! 

But I can wait to finally experience it and make the trip over to Drayton Manor! While I can't yet comment on the coaster as an experience, the layout looks great and it's something about standing on a coaster that intrigues me! 

3). SCENIC RAILWAY 

Yes its a woody in the UK a relatively rare sight, in comparison to steel! 

This coaster is a part of a mission for me, to ride all the Woodys in the UK This Summer! 

So of course I will be stopping in to Dreamland in Margate for a ride on the always wonderful Scenic Railway 

2). THE BIG ONE 

Common, summer in the UK? We gotta head to the beach! 

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is calling, with its program of extended park hours and fireworks, the idea of riding the big one, while overlooking a beautiful summer sunset... It's dreamy! 

1). THE ULTIMATE 

Its time for another honest truth! Im yet to ride The Ultimate over at Lightwater Valley. 

It has an iconic reputation, being so long, interesting and unique to the UK! 

I can't wait to finally ride it! Imagine, in the middle of an early august day, riding on this coaster, through the forest and trees, with the sunshine peaking through the foliage! 

Surly its gotta be an experience! 

So there we have it, my top 5 coasters for this summer! 

Whats your top 5? What can't you wait to get on asap?
