The Beastie
From TowersStreet Wiki
The Beastie was Alton Towers' classic example of a well themed ride. It was themed around a rough Pinfari in a big red metal cage, and the theme is pulled off to perfection, as you really do feel like you're riding a rough Pinfari in a big red metal cage.
It is believed that Drayton Manor's G-Force was their answer to 'The Beastie', they succeeded in making the ride more painful, and also managed to reduce the throughput to 22 persons per hour.
