Looking to race towards Alton Towers' scariest ride once you arrive? Well, there are plenty of thrilling rides for you to choose from.
If the idea of a 55m vertical drop sends shivers down your spine, make a dash for Oblivion. But if a generous helping of loop-de-loops gives you a thrill, get on board The Smiler.
