- Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Blackpool Pleasure Beach are only a few of the UK theme parks that have planned, designed and almost began building NEW rollercoasters before they were scrapped and never thought of again. Today I list some of the UK's most amazing and crazy rollercoasters that were NEVER BUILT...

Got to admit, Dan has become my go to source for Rollercoaster and Rollercoaster adjacent shenanigans. So glad for the existence of a channel with humour as a primary drive. Please don't die on Hero, Dan, the community needs you XD
I appreciate that so much thank you! I’ll try not to end it on Hero 😂😂
@@DigitalDan May be worth setting a few scheduled uploads just in case of mild to severe spinal injury though XD
If only we had wicker Wallace!
If only
@@oliverandlenniecolclough1523 you have no humour
It would be good though
Great video mate!! Man that Oblivion prototype looks a lot like the modern dive machines we see popping up today. They see the future 👀
Thanks so much mate! They really do 👀😂
An Intamin Accelerator at Pleasure Beach would be absolutely amazing!! They certainly have the space, even if it means shuffling things around a little. It would work very well with their current demographic and put the park back into the top position in the UK... where it belongs. Recent years have seen a lot of negativity surrounding Pleasure beach, their advancement, modernization and adaptability... something like this would blast away some of those cobwebs and prove they're still in the game with the big boys.
I remember there were once plans for "Nemesis 2" at Chessington (before Tussauds owned Thorpe Park). John Wardley said something like it would have had the biggest-ever pit for a coaster.
The Alton Towers cross-valley woodie looked absolutely incredible, although in hindsight damaging to the landscape. I'm half glad they didn't do it now I'm older, but at the time I couldn't wait! The Thorpe GCI, on the other hand, definitely looked better than Saw, as we already had a couple of Euro Fighters in the UK at the time.
SWINE at Southend (massive Arrow looper) was another one I wanted to ride, although they said they were going to charge £9 a go!
I always thought the Blackpool coaster was going to be an Intamin Reverse Freefall like Superman: the Escape, although I could be wrong as those marks on the ground definitely suggest something like Top Thrill Dragster. There used to be a rumour website called Thrillride (by Robert Coker), which had a "Whopper of the Week" segment... I'm ashamed to say that once three of us all sent in rumours that there was going to be an Intamin giga at Blackpool!
Madness!! These all sound amazing haha 🔥
Should have had another after The Bigger One...
The Biggest One.
Imagine seeing a 200ft slc when on the skegy coast
The bigger one is the best name ever💀
Oh how much we have missed out on!
these vids just keep getting better! Keep the work up Dan I for real learn most of my Rollercoaster news from u.
Thanks so much!! Glad to hear you enjoy! 😊
I knew about the Blackpool one but had never heard of any of the others, so this was very, very interesting. Amazing video Dan, love the content!
They’re all crazy! Thanks so much! 😊
Flamingo land was going to have a wooden coaster
It's great to hear that DigitalDan is using his platform to raise money for charity! Riding the Hero coaster at Flamingo Land all day is no small feat, and it's impressive that he's taking on such a challenge for a good cause. Supporting mental health charities like Mind is so important, especially after the difficult year we've all had. I hope that DigitalDan is successful in his fundraising efforts, and that he inspires others to give back in whatever way they can.
The bigger one so Blackpool could piss Thorpe park off
The Pinfari looping Coaster
260ft SLC - NOT A CHANCE
Alton towers Valley rmc would be awesome if they ever resurrected the valley idea.
God, would have loved to see some of these in the UK!
Oblivions alternate layout just looks even better then how it turned out 😂
Really wish the Bigger One happened, that would be so awesome.
Amazing video
Love the videos ( also Hero all day even hell isn’t taking credit for that torment)
Thanks so much!!
I rode all the coasters at Six Flags in Illinois.....
Shockwave was the last one I rode, and it was the BEST!!!
Back in 1992.....
great content dan🔥
Thank you!!
Dan you are my favourite I love Thorpe park
Awesome dan 😎😎😎
Fantasy Island original inverted coaster didn't happen due to planning permission for the height being denied.
Dan I cant believe the epic concept of wicker Wallace
the 260 foot coaster instead of oddessey was actually stopped because locals said it would be an eye sore. What locals? idk how its worse than it currently is but oh well
nice video dan
Thank you!
nice video!
You hello, ive been loving the content recently!-
Cross valley coaster!!!!!
The Thorpe Park GCI would have been the closest thing to an RMC in the UK (before RMC were a thing)
0:01 my head hurts just thinking about that
Cool vid! :)
Cross valley wooden coaster at towers is easily the best never built coaster
Make the frase for Hero all dat “you need a Hero They need Some painkillers”
Like in the van poster
Can u do a video of best places to sit on each ride for Thorpe park or Alton towers ?
Think layout patent plan is just a way of them patenting the technology used for the drop coaster. If you read John wardleys book he explains that the drop was never originally made to hold you at the top, it was meant to send you straight over but he thought it lacked anticipation and asked b+m for the hold. The system they use to hold the train at the top is £250,000 on its own. Also if you look at the plans, they didn't use the same cars, they were using the 4x4 sit down layout as normal but due to the forces exerted on the track and riders in the back cars they had to design all new trains instead.
Ah right! Thanks for the information!!
@@DigitalDan anytime matey great vid as always!
Hi love your vids❤
New Dan video yaay 🎉🎉
The bigger one is such a funny name😂
Such a shame that woodie wasnt built at Towers. Wickerman is alright but would of loved a world class woodie.
I like this video ❤
What if we and a roller coaster which was themed by Wallace and groom it or nemesis theme again at Alton Towers
The 3rd plan for oddasy that was b&m by the advertising and started across the road but basically the same layout 😅
Hello There, a great Video and very interesting to hear about these plans etc. Thank you or all your effort, it's much appreciated and it's interesting to hear how varied the plans were. Cheers Peter :) p.s. "Project Horizon" is also known as a secret weapon "SW9".
P.S. I definitely would have liked the "Cross Valley Rollercoaster" to come to fruition.
Thanks for watching! 😊
@@DigitalDan Hello There, you're welcome, you deserve it. Cheers Peter :-)
Apparently there would of been a hypercoaster on the Southend coast off of the pier by where Adventure Island would be (I don't think it was built yet) - it had like 9 inversions as well.
Hey, Dan can you make a video where you rank your favorite songs from any decade (80s, 70s...)?
I would love sone if these 😢
🎢 The GCI wooden coaster would have been so much better than Saw 👍
Could still see the bigger one being built.. Just image an intiman/zamperla lsm launch into a top hat 237 foot😜😜 above the Irish Sea. It wouldn't even cost much.
0:18 is that the Euthinaisia coaster on there?
I would of loved the Blackpool concept I think it would of looked good over the water
btw those footers for 'the bigger one' were actually just for an art project 💀💀
WICKER WALLACE
The bigger one would have been so good and it would be the uks first strata voaster
He forgot the Alton towers Wallace and gromit woodie. Total missed opportunity there
I did!! My bad 🙁
It's fine Dan, going to Blackpool Sunday. If Ur there I will see u
Just scrap infusion and make The Bigger One.
A 260 foot slc sounds dangerous
I believe that shockwave at Drayton manor was meant to have an helix over the lake!
hi cutie and a fab video. flamingoland is my closest park.
Definitely the one at fantasy Island n
I didn't know top thrill blackpoolster was something
Imagine if exodus will be called "The bigger one..."
😂😂
Do another which is better
Hi

I wish we got The Bigger One, would have looked so cool. Also my cat is too stupid to want a cross valley woodie.
Imagine having the tallest coaster in the uk then being like, you know what. Lets go even bigger
Dan I will never be proud of you 😂
Wickerman bear on the bed
Loveeeeeee
I hope its a wickerman bear or I'm gonna feel pretty stupid
we know about the giga at blackpool
5:14 what did he say
It was meant to be like sh- but me saying “instead” after really makes it sound like I said the swear word 😂😂
