I was surprised at how awesome this ride was. I think we had uneven weight distribution in our car, so we span like crazy. I was dizzy for a good few minutes afterwards. Great ride !
Lost164...you have a great eye and a fine ear. You capture the personality of this and Dragon's Fury so well. You find Sonic's sense of humor and the Dragon's Fury's edgy beauty. Well done. I only wish there were a way to get a POV, but I can't imagine how you'd do that and convey the fun of the ride. Anyway, these are really good. Now I'm off to your Thirteen. Thanks.
This is such a fun ride, one of my first roller coasters. It bangs you about a bit, and at points I felt as if I was gonna fall out. Other than that, great ride:D
Oh! That looks really fun! I can't wait for my trip to Alton Towers in the Summer! It'll be my first UK theme park visit. x) Pretty bad for living in Scotland. :x
How cool!! I love theme parks and Sonic the hedgehog, so this is perfect!! Can anyone tell me if there is a whole Sonic-themed area around here or just the ride? Thank you!
It was known as SpinBall Whizzer from 2004 to 2009. Then it became Sonic SpinBall from 2010 to 2015. Then in 2016, Sonic SpinBall went back to being SpinBall Whizzer.
Hey! I'm creating a documentary about Spinball Whizzer. Would you mind me using some of this footage? Full credit will be given in the video and a link to your channel in the description. Thanks!
This is my favourite ride at the park. I hate rides that are too fast, I end up closing my eyes to stop the air pressure inside them and making them sting. Its not too slow either, its such a run ride, I love it! Definatly reccomend it to anybody, I rode this at least 8 times.
Even this ride dosn't have loops or twists, it's one of the best rides there, it's there to have a laugh, when I went on with my friend I almost suffocated because I laughed to much and didn't breathe for about 3 minutes...O.o
Trust me guys this is so fun. This was my first roller coaster , which probably gives you more courage. I'm only 11 but im actually planing to go on The Smiller. I've been on the oblivion today so I'm probably ready.
Just wanted to say, very well made video! Also, I wonder what it would have sounded like if you put in sonic spinball music instead. It might have been too repetitive. Who knows. Anyways, great video! the music was good.
Funniest ride at AT for sure. For some great spinning sit the two heaviest people diagonally to each other and the two lightest likewise. Two adults and two children is best, it's HILARIOUS!
This and Nemesis are my two favourite. Yeah Spinball isn't the scariest ride, but its so fun if you can get your cart spinning round really fast using your body weight.
I really want to take my hubby here sometime because I think he'd love the coasters, I've not been on many decent coasters either. Riding as many rollercoasters as you can is something everyone should do in their lives! However, I've heard some really bad stuff about 2 hour long queuing for each ride, which is only reduced by about 30 minutes if you have a fast track ticket, is this true?
Loved this ride when I went on it first time, but do hang on tight. Get thrown around quite a bit on it. No wonder you see all these nets underneath the entire ride!
they had a ride like this in Disney when i went there. I think it was in the Animal Kingdom. i may be wrong though. but me and my friends were all laughing our asses off because of how much fun we were having on it.
Looks like it was snowing,I thought the attractions don"t open in Wintertime,like Six Flags.Too cold to be having fun,while you can be resting near the fireplace with a blanket cover around you and roasting Marshmallows.
Looks like fun. I live 2 hrs from Cedar Point, (Sandusky, Ohio) and I have never seen that park, or any in Ohio, open when it snowed. Cold ride, for sure!
I LOVED THIS RIDE I WENT LAST YEAR AND I'M GOING AGAIN NEXT MONTH CANT WAIT I HOPE I WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE A PIC WITH ME AND SONIC LIKE LAST YEAR MY FRIENDS THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY SONIC BUT CANT WAIT ITS MY LATE BIRTHDAY PRESENT CAUSE ITS ON THE 16TH AND MY BDAY ON THE 4TH BUT I HOPE THIRTEEN WILL BE ON PLZ TELL ME IF IT IS OR NOT
I've been there this Friday, waiting times ranged from 40-25 mins on the most popular ones - I'm sure it will be a lot busier in July because it's summer holiday, there are bound to be lots of teenagers and kids.
Just been Alton Towers today went on Sonic Spinball first, Nemesis second, Air third and The Blade fourth and went on Nemesis two times and Air two times, my first proper rollercoaster Sonic Spinball have to say I was scared out of my guts, I felt like I was about to fall out the cart thing but it was amazing, I loved every second! Sad to say that rides like Oblivion and Rita were closed though, otherwise would have went on them as well...
im going to alton towers on the 11th june ,with my lil sis ,mom and her boyf ,he wants me to go on this but im not sure?? any tips or anything like that ,plz??!:)
@Ganstagurl24 correction, both parks were owned by tussauds in 2004 and were both opened then. They have different layouts anyway and you can have two types of one ride you know.
DAMMIT!!! I went to Alton Towers with school for the first time in June, and I wanted to go on this SOOOO badly (I was told it isn't scary - I'm scared of rollarcoasters XD) but I couldn't, because my purse with £12 in got STOLEN!!! And by the time I realised that I wasn't going to get it back, it was time to go home - I only got to go on TWO rides!! *breaks down and cries* T_T Lol, I did get a picture on my phone of me with that statue, though! :)
Glad to see something like this exists.
I didn't see any loops, though. You can't have a Sonic rollercoaster without loops!
This looks like a really fun ride. I love the car design and how they "float" on the tracks!
I went on this last month and it was so much fun! Not scary at all I just had a good time! I could go on this over and over again! Loved it!
I was surprised at how awesome this ride was. I think we had uneven weight distribution in our car, so we span like crazy. I was dizzy for a good few minutes afterwards. Great ride !
I think...i will cry....this is.....so....beautifull

Oh! That looks really fun! I can't wait for my trip to Alton Towers in the Summer! It'll be my first UK theme park visit. x)
Pretty bad for living in Scotland. :x
YES SO GETTING THIS SONG ON MY IPOD JUST TO PLAY IN TESCO
How cool!! I love theme parks and Sonic the hedgehog, so this is perfect!! Can anyone tell me if there is a whole Sonic-themed area around here or just the ride? Thank you!

I want on this last year. It was the first time I ever went on a roller coaster. I loved very second of it :)
WHAT IS THIS BEASTLY TUNE?!
That looks like an awesome ride! I want to go to the uk now!
That had to be the best free spin coaster ever
This thing looks wimpish, but it goes freakishly fast O.O I love it! never been on in the snow!
This is my favourite ride at the park. I hate rides that are too fast, I end up closing my eyes to stop the air pressure inside them and making them sting. Its not too slow either, its such a run ride, I love it! Definatly reccomend it to anybody, I rode this at least 8 times.
I loved this one!, it was the first ride I went on when I arrived at Alton towers also the oblivion was amazing!!!
brilliant concept, cyntrithical force to give the illusion of speed.
Anyone else depressed by this song?
That is pretty cool, never knew there was a rollercoaster ride based on a Sonic Game!!!
Hmmm... I wonder what's next?
Shadow the Sharpshooter?
Mario's Mystical Adventure?
Only time will tell...
Awesome Vid.
Looks like a lot of fun! Though many say it's not a scary ride, those vertical climbs like at 1:27 would probably make me nervous.
it climbs the chain so fast, such a good ride >.
Hilarious ride and really underrated! Great thrills and lots of g too!
Sonic Spinball is the most fun ride in my book
Even this ride dosn't have loops or twists, it's one of the best rides there, it's there to have a laugh, when I went on with my friend I almost suffocated because I laughed to much and didn't breathe for about 3 minutes...O.o
Would be cool to see this with Sonic & Kuckles invincibility music or Sonic 1's theme. Great vid!
this looks like the funniest ride ive ever seen
Trust me guys this is so fun. This was my first roller coaster , which probably gives you more courage. I'm only 11 but im actually planing to go on The Smiller. I've been on the oblivion today so I'm probably ready.
It was mine too! my second was oblivion then nemisis but the smiler wasn't out then.
Oblivion was my second too. High five.
***** Rita goes 62mph(100kph) and it's speed is bested by oblivion coming in a tad faster...
Just wanted to say, very well made video! Also, I wonder what it would have sounded like if you put in sonic spinball music instead. It might have been too repetitive. Who knows. Anyways, great video! the music was good.
Im going to alton towers on friday,im so excited now,does anyone know what rides are the best to go on please reccomend your favourites x
Combining a spin-n-barf with a coaster? brilliant!
A roller coaster wouldn't fit in my house. They need to make a sonic game this good.
going in half term with my best friends and mega excited btw nice music
i regret not going to alton towers, i really wanna go on this, huge sonic fan ^^
The old-song that used to play was Sonia Song by Spezie Dorada
Where the heck is this ride anyway? Omg I hope it's close to Florida!
Funniest ride at AT for sure. For some great spinning sit the two heaviest people diagonally to each other and the two lightest likewise. Two adults and two children is best, it's HILARIOUS!
that ride looks like so much fun!!
OMG THATS LOOK AWESOME!
i wish they have this here.
that looks....AWSOME!!!:D I HAVE TO GET TO ALTON TOWERS, WHERE IS IT LOCATED?
This and Nemesis are my two favourite. Yeah Spinball isn't the scariest ride, but its so fun if you can get your cart spinning round really fast using your body weight.
Great footage, I cannot wait to go to Alton Towers in May! I have subscribed to you :-))
Nice rollercoaster. There is one similar to this in Madrid in Parque de Atracciones. It is called Tarantula.
Been on all but nothing beats the Runaway Minetrain. I love that one!
I really want to take my hubby here sometime because I think he'd love the coasters, I've not been on many decent coasters either. Riding as many rollercoasters as you can is something everyone should do in their lives! However, I've heard some really bad stuff about 2 hour long queuing for each ride, which is only reduced by about 30 minutes if you have a fast track ticket, is this true?
Loved this ride when I went on it first time, but do hang on tight. Get thrown around quite a bit on it. No wonder you see all these nets underneath the entire ride!
i found this really relaxing!!!
the big rollercoasters such as oblivion look fun i have been to thorpepark and i love stealth and saw the best
Canda never gets any of the good Sonic stuff! I wanna move to the UK and ride the ride! :D
dont go on this ride when your drunk your through up like hell and awsome ride cant wait to go on it next year lol and good vid
they had a ride like this in Disney when i went there. I think it was in the Animal Kingdom. i may be wrong though. but me and my friends were all laughing our asses off because of how much fun we were having on it.
Well thanks.I'm gonna have to go there sometime during my Summer vacation.
im going to alton towers for my birthday on monday eeekkkk cant waittt
Air is the best ride in my opinion so amazing :D
Yo do you know what was the name of the song on the original video ? I’ve been trying to find it everywhere it’s an Italian song
if i went to alton towers for a day...
this would be the first ride i would go on!!
(im a mega sonic fan)
Looks like it was snowing,I thought the attractions don"t open in Wintertime,like Six Flags.Too cold to be having fun,while you can be resting near the fireplace with a blanket cover around you and roasting Marshmallows.
I would ride that over and over again. I gotta go to Alton Towers one day.
Im goin to alton towers tomorow and intending yo go on this ride hopefully it wont be to scary for me!
Good old Alton Towers: keeping rides open in all weathers!
First Sonic ride I have seen on youtube!
I would have been better if you used sonic spinball music for the video..... but besides that, this is awesome :D where is this ride located at?
Great tribute to a cool game!
I'm going Friday and this ride is way to underrated
is this an ideal first rollercoaster. Because im scared of that big drop where it goes up then back down vertical
Looks like fun. I live 2 hrs from Cedar Point, (Sandusky, Ohio) and I have never seen that park, or any in Ohio, open when it snowed. Cold ride, for sure!
This is my favourtie ride in the park! I rode it about eight times :P
Iv been on that ride its amazing, really good
I LOVED THIS RIDE I WENT LAST YEAR AND I'M GOING AGAIN NEXT MONTH CANT WAIT I HOPE I WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE A PIC WITH ME AND SONIC LIKE LAST YEAR MY FRIENDS THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY SONIC BUT CANT WAIT ITS MY LATE BIRTHDAY PRESENT CAUSE ITS ON THE 16TH AND MY BDAY ON THE 4TH BUT I HOPE THIRTEEN WILL BE ON PLZ TELL ME IF IT IS OR NOT

isnt swonic spinball just spinball whizzer but the name has been changed ?
btw luv the vid x
Can't believe I stood next to that statue :D
Is there an english translation to these lyrics, the beat is catchy but I can't understand a word! It fits perfectly with the video :P
Queued up for 2 hours today. Lawl, on the top sideways bit I opened my eyes XD
Love this ride so so much!
Who goes to an amusement park when it's cold enough to be snowing? And what outdoor amusement park is even open in the winter?
@MrMiniman09 i was just amazed, ive never seen anything like this kind of coster before, esp. not off a videogame character, its cool!
Hi, the best rides are: Oblivion, Air, Rita, Thirteen, Nemesis, Smiler and there's other smaller and water rides too which are good.
Whats it like in the snow? i bet air is magical when its snowing :)
you know what this ride needs? The Sonic Spinball boss theme. That or the US version of the Sonic CD boss theme. Either would set the mood perfectly.
that ride looks fun
This ride is amazing
@Jakey3002 But i never heard of Alton towers?! And where is that at?! :3
a nice christmas gift. lol snow and riding this rollercoaster and after u get off its time to hit the indoors with heat and hot chocolate
this place looks awesome! where's this place located at? :]
One of those rides that look scarier than they are, very tame.
i want to go on that roller coaster so badly!
A lot of my friends agree. Yes Nemesis, air, oblivion, rita etrc are quicker, but Sonic is probably the most enjoyable ride at Alton Towers
is this a good ride if your scared of rollercoasters? :)
Just been Alton Towers today went on Sonic Spinball first, Nemesis second, Air third and The Blade fourth and went on Nemesis two times and Air two times, my first proper rollercoaster Sonic Spinball have to say I was scared out of my guts, I felt like I was about to fall out the cart thing but it was amazing, I loved every second! Sad to say that rides like Oblivion and Rita were closed though, otherwise would have went on them as well...
im going to alton towers on the 11th june ,with my lil sis ,mom and her boyf ,he wants me to go on this but im not sure?? any tips or anything like that ,plz??!:)
How much does it cost to stay here? I have to go there! Even if it is in UK
Such a stylish way to get frostbite xD
One of the best rides i have been on worst thing about alton towers is just travelling there caus eim from the north east and it takes FOREVER!
@Ganstagurl24 correction, both parks were owned by tussauds in 2004 and were both opened then. They have different layouts anyway and you can have two types of one ride you know.
Oh, it really is, so much fun, especially if you start off the one going up backwards at the beginning :D
DAMMIT!!! I went to Alton Towers with school for the first time in June, and I wanted to go on this SOOOO badly (I was told it isn't scary - I'm scared of rollarcoasters XD) but I couldn't, because my purse with £12 in got STOLEN!!! And by the time I realised that I wasn't going to get it back, it was time to go home - I only got to go on TWO rides!! *breaks down and cries* T_T
Lol, I did get a picture on my phone of me with that statue, though! :)
