Sonic the Hedgehog immortalized as a roller coaster

You know that rush you get when you’re playing a Sonic game? If you live in the UK, thanks to theme park Alton Towers and Sega Europe, you can get that same rush in real life. This February, they are launching a Sonic-themed roller coaster called “Sonic Spinball” and hopefully its as fast and reckless as it’s expected to be.

Also, coming to the Alton Towers Hotel, if you’re a super fan of the blurry blue hedgehog, book a night in the Sonic-themed room where you will be able to live, sleep and of course, play the latest and classic Sonic games. That doesn’t sound like a bad vacation spot. This sponsorship is hoping to boost Sonic’s name for 2010 to build hype for the eventual “NEW AND BETTER” Sonic game. Will this be what our furry little Sega mascot needs?
