The Walking Dead: The Ride at RCDB

The Walking Dead: The Ride (formerly known as X:\ No Way Out and X) is an enclosed steel roller coaster at Thorpe Park in England. It was the park’s first non-powered roller coaster. The attraction originally opened as X:\ No Way Out in 1996, was rethemed and renamed X for the 2013 season, and underwent a further retheming to The Walking Dead: The Ride for the 2018 season. The current version of the ride is themed to the AMC television series The Walking Dead and uses the slogan “Those who ride, survive.”

The attraction features an indoor roller coaster housed within a large blue and terracotta pyramid structure.
