The Big One, Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Drop: 205ft Speed: 74mph Length: 5,497ft
At 235ft at its highest point, The Big One is Britain’s tallest and steepest rollercoaster and, although 26 years old, it still offers a thundering ride.
Before the initial 205ft plunge there are stellar views of Blackpool and beyond, and the ride at night is dazzling, especially when the Illuminations are on.
