Manchester United legend Wazza, 39, had a go on several thrilling rides.

But despite his reputation as a football hardman, Rooney could only grimace as he whizzed round the tracks at lightning speed.

Youngest children Kit, 9, and Cass, 7, also looked petrified as they soaked up the thrill-seeking atmosphere.

However, Rooney’s wife Coleen appeared right at home.

The 39-year-old is still basking in the glory of her second-place finish in last year’s edition of ‘I’m a Celeb’.

Coleen was forced to battle the likes of snakes, spiders and other gruesome creatures while in the Australian jungle.

So riding a few simple rollercoasters will have been a walk in the park.

And Coleen showed no signs of fear as she instead SMILED while sitting next to her distressed hubby.

She posted the photos to her Instagram account, with a caption reading: “Alton Towers is always a great half term trip.

“We had a fantastic time as always… thanks for looking after us.”

Rooney will be hoping his time at Alton Towers helps him relax after another tense season in the dugout.

After being sacked by Birmingham last year, he took up a role with newly-promoted Plymouth Argyle.

But the Premier League icon managed just five wins from 25 matches and was sacked on New Year’s Eve.

Rooney was replaced by Miron Muslic, who was unable to save Argyle from relegation.

However, he has now jumped ship for fallen German giants Schalke, with Jack Wilshere now favourite to take charge in Devon.
