Colossus, Thorpe Park

Height: 98ft Speed: 45mph Length: 2,789ft Its world record for the most inversions may now be gone, but Colossus is still one seriously scary teenager.

The ride opened in 2002 and features 10 stomach-churning inversions, a vertical loop, double corkscrews, a cobra roll (double inversion) and the UK’S only quadruple barrel roll. Twist and shout.
