Common card · No. 496011

Corkscrew was a steel roller coaster located at Alton Towers theme park, in the United Kingdom. It was manufactured by Dutch company Vekoma, engineered by Werner Stengel of German Ing.-Büro Stengel GmbH (Ingenieur Büro Stengel). The coaster was located in the Ug Land area, formerly called Talbot Centre. It was the theme park's earliest ride and considered one of the greatest factors in promoting the new theme park to the British public. It was the first double-inverting coaster in the UK, and was well received publicly in the 1980s.
