Thirteen, Steel roller coaster in Alton Towers, England

The tracks of Thirteen extend across 760 meters through the Dark Forest section, reaching heights of 20 meters with multiple twists and turns.

The construction of Thirteen in 2010 replaced the previous Corkscrew roller coaster that operated in Alton Towers from 1980 to 2008.

This thrill ride incorporates elements from English forest stories, with tracks winding through ancient ruins in a dense woodland setting.

Visitors must measure between 1.2 and 1.96 meters in height to access the ride, which can accommodate 1,100 passengers each hour.

Thirteen features the first vertical free fall drop section in roller coaster design, with a sudden 5-meter descent in complete darkness.
