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

If only we had wicker Wallace!

Great video mate!! Man that Oblivion prototype looks a lot like the modern dive machines we see popping up today. They see the future 👀

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!

Should have had another after The Bigger One... The Biggest One.

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.

these vids just keep getting better! Keep the work up Dan I for real learn most of my Rollercoaster news from u.

Oh how much we have missed out on!

The bigger one is the best name ever💀

Imagine seeing a 200ft slc when on the skegy coast

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!

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.

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.....

Love the videos ( also Hero all day even hell isn’t taking credit for that torment)

Amazing video

The bigger one so Blackpool could piss Thorpe park off

0:01 my head hurts just thinking about that

Alton towers Valley rmc would be awesome if they ever resurrected the valley idea.

Oblivions alternate layout just looks even better then how it turned out 😂

The Pinfari looping Coaster

Flamingo land was going to have a wooden coaster

God, would have loved to see some of these in the UK!

Dan you are my favourite I love Thorpe park

Really wish the Bigger One happened, that would be so awesome.

nice video dan

You hello, ive been loving the content recently!-

260ft SLC - NOT A CHANCE

Dan I cant believe the epic concept of wicker Wallace

great content dan🔥

Fantasy Island original inverted coaster didn't happen due to planning permission for the height being denied.

btw those footers for 'the bigger one' were actually just for an art project 💀💀

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.

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

Awesome dan 😎😎😎

Can u do a video of best places to sit on each ride for Thorpe park or Alton towers ?

The Thorpe Park GCI would have been the closest thing to an RMC in the UK (before RMC were a thing)

The bigger one is such a funny name😂

Cross valley coaster!!!!!

Cross valley wooden coaster at towers is easily the best never built coaster

nice video!

Make the frase for Hero all dat “you need a Hero They need Some painkillers” Like in the van poster

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 😅

Hey, Dan can you make a video where you rank your favorite songs from any decade (80s, 70s...)?

Imagine having the tallest coaster in the uk then being like, you know what. Lets go even bigger

I would love sone if these 😢

Such a shame that woodie wasnt built at Towers. Wickerman is alright but would of loved a world class woodie.

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.

New Dan video yaay 🎉🎉

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".

I like this video ❤

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.

🎢 The GCI wooden coaster would have been so much better than Saw 👍

WICKER WALLACE

Cool vid! :)

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

The bigger one would have been so good and it would be the uks first strata voaster

Definitely the one at fantasy Island n

I didn't know top thrill blackpoolster was something

I believe that shockwave at Drayton manor was meant to have an helix over the lake!

A 260 foot slc sounds dangerous

Hi love your vids❤

Infusion all day :)

Imagine if exodus will be called "The bigger one..."

He forgot the Alton towers Wallace and gromit woodie. Total missed opportunity there

Do another which is better

Just scrap infusion and make The Bigger One.

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.

Dan I will never be proud of you 😂

we know about the giga at blackpool

5:14 what did he say

Wickerman bear on the bed Loveeeeeee I hope its a wickerman bear or I'm gonna feel pretty stupid
