The 10 thrill rides worth queuing for

A great park day balances calm moments with a handful of genuine thrills. These ten rides consistently top visitor favourites for good reason — each delivers a distinct kind of excitement.

Start with the big roller coasters early, when queues are shortest, then work through the water rides once the day warms up. Save indoor rides for the hottest or wettest part of the afternoon.

If you only have one day, pick your three must-ride thrills first and build the rest of your plan around their locations to avoid crossing the park repeatedly.
