With Swarm you gotta mention how the ride itself is so built into the theming, being kidnapped by the aliens and being taken for a fly around, with the ride photos being “missing persons” and finally there’s “THIS IS IT. THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE SWARM NOW. JUST SIT BACK, BRACE YOURSELF, AND PRAY” that I’ve heard often enough to know off of the top of my head after riding twice
earlier smiler is definitely better as they sadly got rid of some of the marmalisation stuff. a refurb of oblivion would take x-sector to top 5 imo. bit weird that he grouped all of x-sector but not all of forbidden valley...
Soundtrack's good, but as a blind person, I'm also a bit disappointed. In the queue, Hyperia doesn't talk about her story, and she does have some announcements about the Valley but I don't even know if she does the usual ride safety announcement anymore. Unless all the blogs I watched just cut it out? If anyone in the know could clarify, I'd be really interested to know either way.
I would say it's between Nemesis Reborn and Wicker Man. Nemesis Reborn has a better themed queue, but Wicker Man does have probably the best pre-show in the UK.
@BigPappaEarl1938 The station theming's good, and so is the gift shop, There's the pre-show, and the surrounding area of Wicker Man is themed so much that it's not really part of Mutiny Bay.
Forbidden valley has to be one of the best themed areas in the UK, at least to the front of the area, once you go past rollercoaster restaurant it goes downhill (theme wise)
@@Thrillseeker01 I wasn't being fr👍 fearless valley still looks like a construction sire compared to nemesis reborn area which is top tier themeing imo
Paultons park just keep getting better and better with the theming and I can’t wait to see there future Investments as it’s definitely the best park for full themed experiences
Have the say the theming in the Paulton Park lands is getting better and better. Use to go there when it was just a large park with hardly any rides and was mostly animals.
Swarm’s area is SO good the fact they don’t make it a scarezone at Halloween is a CRIME - and also sorry not sorry it really highlights that Thorpe Park can be class rides and unreal theming to rival towers… then it’s like someone completely gave up x
Most uk roller coasters in the UK are themed greatly and I agree with people saying nemesis reborn or the swarm but my opinion is that saw the ride is the best themed from the saw blades and the dark part it’s just amazing
In terms of area, I think the new Forbidden Valley has to be the best, but in terms of ride, the way the Swarm interacts with the theming with the near miss elements and how much effort went into that ride definitely places it top for me.
Icon has potential tbf, I wish they made it more Japanese/samurai theme (I think that’s the theme of icon) with maybe a large samurai temple in the centre or something
As a blind person and out of the stuff I've done actually in person, I agree. The sound in the queue builds up, and you can hear the organ booming as you get towards the station, but when you step in, it's another level because the floor feels different, the smell hits you in a good way and the music just envelops you. Now if we're talking best themed ride in Chessington, I am, completely unironically, going to say Croc Drop with Tomb Blaster being very close behind but when I went, the new indoor queue area soundtracks had been completely turned off so I still don't know what that's like anymore. But Croc Drop has very specific music around each of it's areas: queue, opening, loading, ride experience and ending. But going back to this video, Vampire's absolutely awesome, again I say this unironically.
Hi Dan! I was wondering if I could get some advice, I find rollercoasters really fun and interesting but I'm really scared of going upside down because I'm scared that it'll make me feel sick. Do you have any advice? I've been on some big rides such as Stealth but I'd really like to try and ride more coasters!
Alton towers need geometry dash themed coasters, to anyone who has never seen any online levels of the game might think I’m crazy but when u see them, you will see why I think this way
Where is Thomas land???? Mate, you can forget about Thomas and Percy’s submarine splash…. The soundtrack is immense and the double down is intense (like my rhyming??) anyway Thomas land should have its own category as it’s leagues above tornado spring and forbidden valley!!!!!!!!
Something tells me that Paultons Park has a gun to your head if you say "tornado springs" is there I guess. Lol. Nah all jokes aside tornado springs is definitely the best themed area in the UK. No questions asked as it's also my local park 😁
Dino Stone Park deserves some love at flamingoland the whole area , the dino animatronics the rides Twistosaurus pterodactyl and dino roller but nothing will beat forbidden valley! More points to alton if they retheme galactica for 2025
With Swarm you gotta mention how the ride itself is so built into the theming, being kidnapped by the aliens and being taken for a fly around, with the ride photos being “missing persons” and finally there’s “THIS IS IT.

I will be going to Alton towers soon tho, I’ll see how Nemesis reborn holds up
We need the actual roller coasters theme to be ranked!! You did The Smiler dirty…The Smilers is insane!!
earlier smiler is definitely better as they sadly got rid of some of the marmalisation stuff. a refurb of oblivion would take x-sector to top 5 imo.
bit weird that he grouped all of x-sector but not all of forbidden valley...
It’s just overated
Swarm or saw has to be my fav theming at Thorpe park
I think Swarm is better because I read about Saw after riding it and I had 2 moments of “oh that’s what that was”
@@Pizzaetertjeapparently there’s a dead body on the floor at some point 😭😭 i didn’t see it every time
@@th4t_sh4rki3 it’s inside right before you go outside, you make an inversion above it
@@Pizzaetertje yeah i saw a video on it 😭😭 can’t believe i didn’t see it
i really hope you get 100K subscribers, you really deserve it.
8:51 pigeon outside Dan's window💪💪
Honestly the Smiler is my favourite theme. Super dark and super unique.
Agreed
Keep up the good work dan! Im saving for my sons trip to Thorpe park for his birthday he is so happy when he watches your videos.
ITS ME IM IN THERE!! I'm so glad you remembered WD: The Ride. Thank you, always enjoy your videos 😊
I love Icon cause of the shoebox station 😂😂😂
digital Daniel is back
Amazing video as always Dan, keep it up
Great video woDan (Europa park reference🇪🇺🎢)
Can I just say the theming on hyperia is just brilliant and fearless valley is on point😂😂😅
Soundtrack's good, but as a blind person, I'm also a bit disappointed. In the queue, Hyperia doesn't talk about her story, and she does have some announcements about the Valley but I don't even know if she does the usual ride safety announcement anymore.

I would say it's between Nemesis Reborn and Wicker Man. Nemesis Reborn has a better themed queue, but Wicker Man does have probably the best pre-show in the UK.
Wickerman literally has one theming structure and thats it
@BigPappaEarl1938 The station theming's good, and so is the gift shop, There's the pre-show, and the surrounding area of Wicker Man is themed so much that it's not really part of Mutiny Bay.
⚡️VOLTRON⚡️
@@cruxvynx Yeah, but I'm talking about theming on UK coasters.
@@SK99v1 Just a Not funny joke.
X sectors theming is actually really good! The marmaliser and the tunnel on oblivion really bring the area to light
My rankings agrer witg you mostly. (Apart from hero being on top!)
Yes! This is the video I've been waiting for, if I could double-like this video I would 😃😁
Love your chqnnel I like all your videos sis the start
10:54 “the one we dont talk about 😈”
Forbidden valley has to be one of the best themed areas in the UK, at least to the front of the area, once you go past rollercoaster restaurant it goes downhill (theme wise)
You misspelled fearless
@@igee1605 They're on about Forbidden Valley at Alton Towers, not Fearless Valley at Thorpe Park. But they are confusing 😕
@@Thrillseeker01 I wasn't being fr👍 fearless valley still looks like a construction sire compared to nemesis reborn area which is top tier themeing imo
It does actually go downhill tho like in height
Hear me out, X-Factor may be all over the place right now…but The Smilers theme is amazing.
When Air gets rethemed, hopefully this winter, and if they theme the new flat ride which maybe Ripsaw, Forbidden Valley will take the title
Paultons park just keep getting better and better with the theming and I can’t wait to see there future Investments as it’s definitely the best park for full themed experiences
Nemesis is by far the best the best themed rollercoaster in my opinion.. it is absolutely amazing and that it shows that towers can do it lol!!
i rank my coasters based on how fun they are not the world records they have
(aimed at smiler lovers)
Have the say the theming in the Paulton Park lands is getting better and better. Use to go there when it was just a large park with hardly any rides and was mostly animals.

DigitalDan:Whats The best themed rollercoaster in the Uk?
Thorpe park:Flying Fish
I love how half of the top is Paultons love it
Swarm, especially when it first opened up and the helicopter rotor was spinning
Swarm’s area is SO good the fact they don’t make it a scarezone at Halloween is a CRIME - and also sorry not sorry it really highlights that Thorpe Park can be class rides and unreal theming to rival towers… then it’s like someone completely gave up x

Amity is criminally underrated in this community imooo
Tied with Mandrill Mayhem and Swarm
Both wing coasters
Swarm better
@@TSL_jack true but mandrill still good I went there
LETS GO IM IN IT 😂😂😂😂
In terms of area, I think the new Forbidden Valley has to be the best, but in terms of ride, the way the Swarm interacts with the theming with the near miss elements and how much effort went into that ride definitely places it top for me.
Icon has potential tbf, I wish they made it more Japanese/samurai theme (I think that’s the theme of icon) with maybe a large samurai temple in the centre or something
I think Vampire is best themed

Forbidden valley for me , went on opening day to be 1st train on nemesis . Cant wait for scarefest
new upload cmon!! W dan
I think the octonauts coaster wins every genre the theming is so good and the ride is so intense
We shall not talk abt the other one in dark forest
Dan you're my favourite rock youtuber
I love amity its got the best music and the theming is there everywhere in the area its just elite
Nice. I think nemmesis reborn is the best
Can’t believe you missed CBeebies lands
Have you done a ranking of roller coasters that have been removed? Think that could be a good video idea??
Dan please can you be at towers on the 19th of August if not answer me please
DigitalDan - the rock enthusiast 😋
I agree that Tornado Springs is on top!!
First 🔥‼️
Hi Dan! I was wondering if I could get some advice, I find rollercoasters really fun and interesting but I'm really scared of going upside down because I'm scared that it'll make me feel sick.

Best themed area in the uk is definitely swarm island, got a helicopter crashed van and just a lot of theming
5:24 L O K I
Dan you should make a new video but on the stations and queuelines theming
Mandrill mayhem and vampire are DEFINITELY tied
The pigeon is back yall
No theming at all in 50% of forbidden valley swarm on top🔥🔥
Icon is pretty good at Blackpool and Valhalla
U should do this but with theme parks in Europe.
Wicker man gang
👇
Nemesis reborn has got to be the best themed! I would say the area too but it shares it with galactica…
No Thomas Land with Troublesome Trucks?
I dont know a lot about tornado springs but putting nemeis under it seems a bit weird
Swarm is more immersive in my opinion
I’m writing this comment in Europa Park rn!!!!!
ive never thought flyish fish is part of amity lol
i was the 2nd viewer on my xbox it said 8 seconds ago when i tapped on it 😂
The best themed area is forbidden valley and swarm island and the best coasters are swarm nemesis re30rn
Who’s with me
👇🏼
Why didn’t you read the rest? hero’s theming really is immaculate!
hi dan!!!
Storm Chaser / Tornado Springs for me
Alton towers need geometry dash themed coasters, to anyone who has never seen any online levels of the game might think I’m crazy but when u see them, you will see why I think this way
Where is Thomas land???? Mate, you can forget about Thomas and Percy’s submarine splash…. The soundtrack is immense and the double down is intense (like my rhyming??) anyway Thomas land should have its own category as it’s leagues above tornado spring and forbidden valley!!!!!!!!
dan you are very cool
I think saw needs to be in the best of the best i think above swarm
Wicker man
Something tells me that Paultons Park has a gun to your head if you say "tornado springs" is there I guess. Lol.
Nah all jokes aside tornado springs is definitely the best themed area in the UK. No questions asked as it's also my local park 😁
link to the tierlist 🙏
I used to LOVE the amity area at thorpe park, but then they turned most of it into angry birds land and then big easy boulevard, which were both s***
The last time I went to Alton towers nemesis was closed cause reborn was getting done.😔😔😔
Probably hyperia or maybe the big one
Saw the ride by a clear mire
Hang on, why didn't he read about Hero? What ended up happening, if anything?
nemesis reborn
Big ups Paultons
you clearly forgot the galactica puddle. top 5 right there.
edit: nevermind
Ngl, flying fish is number one in the country 😂
I like x sector best but the lore is half the reason.
Nemesis reborn, no questions asked
Bro if someone disagrees with nemesis isn’t the best themed ride in the uk what is wrong with you
Dino Stone Park deserves some love at flamingoland the whole area , the dino animatronics the rides Twistosaurus pterodactyl and dino roller but nothing will beat forbidden valley! More points to alton if they retheme galactica for 2025
Nemesis is the best Staffordshire coaster
Are u being paid by Paul tons park?
ANOTHER UPLOAD COME ON!!!
i just think hyperia would have been the best themed but everybody (maybe even the park even) forgot the egyptian theme
Icon should be above hyperia
hi dan
The Big One's Pepsi Max cans. 100% the best.
Come on Dan
What about duplo coaster duploland
