Let’s not forget the granddaddy of UK coasters: The Big One at Blackpool. It’s tall. It’s old. It’s a bit shaky. And I love it for all those reasons.
Opened in 1994, it was the tallest coaster in the world for a hot minute. Now it just feels like a rickety old friend who still knows how to party. The first drop is legendary—pure, unadulterated vertical terror.
You’ll rattle around like a marble in a tin can. But that’s part of the charm, isn’t it? You don’t ride The Big One for a smooth experience—you ride it for a story to tell your grandkids.
