The Wave

Get ready to ride the UK's most thrilling family coaster. The Wave combines high-speed twists, thrilling inversions and exhilarating airtime in one unforgettable adventure.

Originally opening in 1994 as Shockwave, the UK's only stand-up roller coaster, it was reimagined as The Wave in 2024 with a brand-new seated train and a lower height restriction of just 1.2m, making this adrenaline-fuelled favourite accessible to even more thrill-seeking families. Experience the rush of soaring through four thrilling inversions, racing around sweeping turns and feeling weightless on the famous zero-gravity roll.

Located in Adventure Cove, The Wave reaches speeds of up to 53mph, delivering big thrills from the moment you leave the station until the final brake run. Whether you're taking on your very first looping coaster or returning to conquer it again and again, it's a ride you'll never forget.
