Schwarzkopf Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 1) Ultimate 2) Rita 3) Oblivion 4) Nemesis. Megafobia is OK, but I find it grossly over rated, due to it being in such an obscure park.
mash80 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 My favourites... Steel: Nemesis Wood: Big Dipper (not rode Megafobia)
CoasterFanatic Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I think Nemesis is the best hands down. Actually, it might be one of the best period. Overall, I wasn't to thrilled about many of the wood coasters in England. If I had to choose, it would probably be the Big Dipper. I wanted to like Grand National so much, but it just felt really stiff and awkward.
Fry Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 My favourite steel is by a long, long shot The Ultimate, followed by Rita and Oblivion. Everything else I can pretty much take or leave. I don't really like any of our Wood, but Blackpool's Wild Mouse is certainly my favourite of what we do have.
YJG(Ride On) Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I want to go to England very bad...especially Alton towers, but i'm just a little 13 year old kid who can't go anywhere during the summer because of high school football. But Nemesis really sounds like a truly amazing coaster.
Hicko Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Steel: NemesisWood: Wild Mouse at Blackpool I'd go with that. Although Grand National comes a very close second to the wild mouse. It's about time we actually got some new decent coasters around these parts. It's starting to get quite embarassing
snoflake15 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Nemesis is still the best although I'm restricted to a choice of there or Blackpool. I found Rita was pretty average and Oblivion is too short once you ride Sheikra. As for wood I love the Grand National. The Wild Mouse runs it close although you are just glad to get off that alive!!!
TPDave Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 What's everyones massive fixation with RITA? Maybe i'd like it better if it had a slightly different brake run... Oh and I forgot the wild mouse at blackpool, that's a pretty good ride
coaster05 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Steel: NemesisWood: Wild Mouse at Blackpool Same, with a 2nd place steel vote going to Dragon's Fury What's everyones massive fixation with RITA? Maybe i'd like it better if it had a slightly different brake run... Oh and I forgot the wild mouse at blackpool, that's a pretty good ride NERD!!!!!!!

Oh and I forgot the wild mouse at blackpool, that's a pretty good ride RITA falls short due to the height restrictions at AT. Stealth looks far more impressive.
Groteslurf Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 The best coasters in the UK for me are : Grand National and Wild Mouse in BPB Nemesis, Air and Oblivion in AT Nemesis Inferno in TP My favorites are Wild Mouse and Nemesis.
Leekak Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Has to be stealth. We dont do wood n the UK its know as a Hard On
coaster_dude2002 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Steel: Nemesis, I was speechless after riding it. Wood: Grand National, sadly Wild mouse was still under renovation.
bluea61 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Steels have to be either Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe or Jubilee Odyssey at Fantasy Island. I like Alton's Nemesis but I don't think its my favourite. Wood will always be Megafobia. Although the Blackpool Mouse is excellent.

Amazing Rich/Larry I agree exactly with your views - especially Rich your observation of Dave (about him being a nerd - he is of course right about 'what's with Rita?) Sadly the UK is very 'wood light' but with some great parks in Europe just a train ride away, and with excellent wood (okay and some BAD) I don't think we can complain too much given the pokey size of our Island. BTW - lets give a shout out to Vekoma (Hi Erik!) and the surprising quality that is Kumali - seriously, I like it! And finally - Shadow Man - are you canvasing opinion for a special project as you have yet to give us your views.
Chrissie Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 ^^^ I can't believe the Wild Mouse at BPB was ever under renovation. Im still bruised from my experience!! lol!! Also, I must have caught the Big Dipper on a bad day because it was rough as hell when I was on it. Lets just say a sports bra was needed!! The best of Brits for me at the moment is Steeple Chase. Its just sooooo much fun and random!
TPDave Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Amazing Rich/Larry I agree exactly with your views - especially Rich your observation of Dave (about him being a nerd - he is of course right about 'what's with Rita?) Shut up Donald!!
halltd Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I've only been to Alton Towers, but Nemesis is by far my favorite B&M invert anywhere. I absolutely love Rita too, but that has more to do with their advertising campaign than anything. ha ha!! Actually, there wasn't a coaster at Alton that I didn't like. Nemesis is just their best.
brossa Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Steel: 1. Nemesis 2. Big One (even if it feels like a wooden) 3. Air Wood: 1. Grand National 2. Big Dipper 3. Megafobia
.TP.Emma. Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I would have to say Stealth, however i am planning on going to Alton Towers soon which will mean i get the chance to ride the great coasters there. but for now its definatly Stealth!
