Wipeout, Steel roller coaster at Pleasurewood Hills, Suffolk, England
Wipeout is a steel roller coaster manufactured by Vekoma with a track length of 285 meters featuring a cobra roll and vertical loop. The ride operates with a single train of seven cars and requires a minimum height of 130 centimeters for riders to participate.
The ride debuted in 1988 as Coca-Cola Roller at Glasgow Garden Festival and was later relocated to American Adventure Theme Park where it operated until 2004. It eventually found its home at Pleasurewood Hills, where it has continued to welcome riders since then.
The coaster plays a central role in the park's entertainment offerings and demonstrates modern engineering through its steel construction. It attracts visitors seeking thrilling experiences and represents how contemporary theme parks prioritize cutting-edge ride technology.
Visitors should expect an intense ride experience and prepare for rapid inversions throughout the journey. It is helpful to visit during quieter times of day to minimize waiting periods before boarding.
The ride begins unusually with a backward lift hill that pulls riders upward before releasing them through six inversions in total. These combined inversions feature three forward-facing and three backward-facing elements that create distinctive ride dynamics.
