What are the 5 Best UK Dark Rides?

We look at the 5 Best UK dark rides in this video. While there aren't a huge range to pick from, the current dark rides in the UK are of a high standard. For us, River Caves and Wallace and Gromit's Thrill-O-Matic make the cut, while The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure in Chessington World of Adventures is also worthy of a spot. From Alton Towers, Gangsta Granny The Ride and The Curse at Alton Manor make the list too. UK theme parks tend to put more emphasis on coasters, but we love the dark rides on offer too.

The curse at Alton manor is such an amazing ride and no more crappy duel

[@roisinkeyes9119]

The curse is sooo good! 🎉

[@boogiebear3027]

No honourable mention for The Haunting at Drayton Mannor 😢. Agree with the top 5 tho 😀

[@darkride_enthusiast69420]

I know, the haunting is so underrated

[@archiscapes1503]

Good list…with one HUGE exception! River Caves should easily be number one…Best dark ride in the UK and the most historically significant dark ride in the WORLD.

[@Zho_Archive]

100% agree, one of the best rides in the UK easily

[@UndertowYT]

Definitely agree that the curse is number 1. After going to Efteling recently it really showed how far behind the UK is with dark rides compared to the rest of Europe...

[@ThemeSeekers]

Efteling is espcially home to some amazing ones! A trackless dark ride in the UK would be a great next step

[@robinbaxter3055]

I know a lot of people hated it but I actually thought Derren Brown's Ghost Train at Thorpe Park was really cool. The VR was working perfectly when I was there though, so that definitely helped haha!

[@Williambroom]

Nemesis sub terra has left the chat 😂

[@ThemeSeekers]

We haven't had a chance to ride yet! Where does it rank for you?

[@TheFirePigeon]

​@@ThemeSeekers I've ridden both alton Manor and sub terra and I would personally say sub terra is better, the pre show sets a really nice scene for the ride and slowly builds up to the main part. I won't include any spoilers but there are a lot of great effects in the main room and a short scare maze at the end

[@Williambroom]

@@ThemeSeekers prob number 2 behind curse as it’s not as different as it was before so I think 8 years of work for not much change

[@ellivisionbytheartistandre6467]

Can't Beleive i never went on river caves can't even remember seeing it and I'm 45 so been a few times although 20 years ago when the big one and Valhala were latest attractions

[@thatbristolianguy]

After riding curse on opening weekend and attending the opening of ghost train at Thorpe, GT is definitely the better ride in my opinion 😊

[@JDPalFruits]

Surprised Valhalla isn’t on this list. Technically a dark ride, right?

[@baldy65289]

Nemesis sub terra now it’s re opened

[@darkride_enthusiast69420]

gangsta granny the ride is awful, but the curse at alton manor is a fine specimen of a dark ride

[@SillyslimerGaming]

Fir me the curse us actually crap I think duel was better😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@VillasByrne]

Suprised not to see Derren Brown on here

[@josephallington6838]

River caves by far. The gruffalo is awful
