This is a pin that Alton Towers had for their Rollercoasters. (There is also one for the "Corkscrew" that I also have for sale).  I'm selling my Dad's Rollercoaster Collection from over 20 years ago - see my listing for more patches and pins

The photo is hard to see, but it looks great in person.

The photos don't clearly show it, it is really nice, you won't be disappointed. The main photo shows the color and the second image you can see the details. the pin has an image of the coaster in the middle with the words Alton Towers on the top and the name of the rollercoaster around the image. 

Thunder Looper was one of the iconic coasters of the 90s at Alton Towers. Though it only lasted six seasons in the park, it remains one of the park's most fondly remembered thrill rides despite its relatively short life span.

Thunder Looper was a shuttle coaster where the train was launched out of the station and into a loop, before riding up a spike of track until it ran out of energy. The train would then roll backwards through the loop before passing through the station and up a second spike of track, then the train would roll back into the station where breaks would bring you to a halt.

One of the most interesting parts of the ride was the method of launch used. Modern launch roller coasters use either a hydraulic or air powered pulley system, or a strip of electro-magnets to speed the trains up the launch track. Thunder Looper however, pre-dated these technologies, therefore the launch was provided a large metal bucket filled with weights concealed in a huge tube, incorporated into the structure of the far end track spike. The bucket was winched to the top of the tube, then its cable engaged to a second cable via a clutch. This cable was attached to a small catch-car on wheels that would be positioned behind the train. Once ready the bucket would be released, pulling the cable with it and in turn the catch car, sending the train hurtling into the first inversion.
