When Alton Towers opened up in 1980 as a theme park, millions of us travelled far and wide to scratch our thrill-seeking itch on some of the country's best rides.
However, over the years, many of the most popular attractions have come and gone. For example, in early November, guests said one last goodbye to the heart-racing legendary Nemesis ride in its current form, which was Europe's first inverted roller coaster. Although it has now closed, fans of the Nemesis need not worry as it is set to return in 2024 after a revamp
But what about our old favourite rides that have given us a thrill over the countless school trips to Alton Towers? Attractions from the Corkscrew to the Thunderlooper, and so many more, will be regarded by many as some of the best rides ever to have graced the UK.
