Great list, personally I can't understand the Swarm beating Nemesis, Swarm always feels too subdued and gentle compared to the savageness of Nemesis. Also, I know its not much of a coaster due to the extremely short ride time, but for pure thrills, Oblivion has to be up there!

The smiler for me is the theme. It's theme especially for the UK is amazing IMO. I love how the story around it works so well, I feel like this is a ride I'd want to go on at night because of the lighting and visual effects.. BUT I could never ride this, I get motion sickness so most rides are off limit for me unfortunately. Though next time I go to a theme park I'm going to take travel sickness pills the night before and on the day too see if that works

While I love Odyssey's layout, views and the insane forces it pulls, I had some really bad jackhammering (to the point where my head felt like a sandbag being pummelled by a skilled boxer) when I rode it today; especially next to the much smoother Millennium. It's still a great ride don't get me wrong, but definitely one of those kinds that would _really_ benefit from being updated with the new SLC vest restraints. That way, you could enjoy all it has to offer more without having to fight against it as much.

Britain has some great rides, and although we have great themed rides we have plenty of coasters that don’t have any decoration yet stand out due to thrills! Here’s my top 10: 10) Oblivion: every time I ride this my opinion changes. But for its historical importance, unique concept for the time, amazing theming and being the definition of a Alton ride it has to be in the top 10 9) Ultimate: you said everything perfectly! Can’t really add anything other than it’s a essential ride 8) 13: Controversial take but it’s a great little ride. Often overlooked by the Alton big dogs but the theme and general surprise of the drop never got old to me 7) Velocity. I bet you weren’t expecting flamingo land but honestly it’s a feisty little ride. It just hits you with it’s launch and whist it’s not unique it is quite Intense. Plus the Motorbike cars are bearable compared to others.I Can totally get why people wouldn’t like it though. 6) stealth: just what you said again. It’s a great ride with a stunning top hat curve. My main issue is the back row is quite rough compared to the relative smoothness of the front 5) Big one: it’s a standard coaster that delivers beautifully. The Jewel of Blackpool and deserves to be top 5 4) Swarm: Wing coasters are surprisingly graceful and the the theme really elevates this. But it’s just too short. 3) icon: It’s iconic (pun intended). Just a thrill to ride. Great launches and a creative layout! The second half punches you! 2) Smiler: Theming, innovation, inversions. It’s great. When it’s running smoothly it’s just fun from start to finish. 1) Nemesis: It’s just godlike. A masterclass in coaster design and although it’s getting rough it’s still A classic ride Honourable mention to Megafobia. Everything you said applies, it’s just a fun ride.

Could not agree more about icon. It is so smooth and the queue line is really quick because sometimes it can have three trains on at once. But I would put the big one at number three and nemesis at two

I would have agreed with your top 3! Until 6 months ago! I’ve ridden nemesis multiple times over 5 different days, first time back in 94 (I was 13) and last time was just after the first lockdown in 2020 (now 38). When I first rode it there was nothing else like it outside of the states, and even then I believe there was only 1! All I remember is being terrified! Riding Nemmy last year showed me what a animal it really is! Only coaster in the U.K. to make me grey out a little on that last banked turn! So I would still have it as the greatest coaster in the U.K. with icon a close second

Nemesis will always win it for me. There are faster rides, there are more inversions on other rides, but if you were there in the first season in 1994 you'll understand where I'm coming from. They hyped it up so much with the TV adverts, the takeover of the drinks machines UK-wide, and the attention to detail in the new Forbidden Valley, that when you got there you never realised or cared you'd queued for 3.5 hours - you just wanted to have done it. The queue line itself was a lesson in how to do it properly, up the entrance path, snaking up and down to the top of the lift hill, never too far from the ride, and an extension to the top of the loop opposite the station - the fence posts are still there, though the queue extension probably doesn't go that far these days. All the while, you'd have the OG theme music (far more sinister than the modern equivalent) playing through strategically placed speakers, interrupted by the occasional screams of the earliest riders zooming over your head by just a few feet. Finally, you queued over the narrow, rusty, bridge to the stairs that leads to the Beast - or so you thought! In the old days you had to go straight ahead up another hill, to where the lift hill for G***ctica is now (you can still see the start and end of the extension path, very overgrown) the EQT from the top of the stairs was 30 minutes IIRC at the busiest times. Then you got in. And it was so so much better than anything that was around in the UK before, which was probably the Corkscrew, and the old Python ride in DMTP (Vampire was crap in 94 and NO IT WAS NOT AN INVERTED COASTER IT WAS A SUSPENDED TRAIN). I've ridden every coaster in Alton Towers since 1988. None of them have ever had the cultural impact that Nemesis had. It was a generational thing to us, but it's amazing to see the recognition "the wife", as my would-be daughter-in-law calls it, still gets today. We love her, and we'll miss her grieviously when she eventually goes, so make the most of her!

I haven't been to many parks in the UK, so this will mostly be Alton Towers and Thorpe Park rides. 10. Dragon's Fury (Chessington World Of Adventures) It was hard to choose between this and Spinball Whizzer, but I went with this because it's a longer ride overall and covers more ground so you can get some pretty good views. 9. Mumbo Jumbo (Flamingo Land) This barely cracks the list, but I love how steep and compact this coaster is. It almost seems suitable for anyone, but those inversions are a real treat. 8. X (Thorpe Park) Yes, it's not branded as X or X: No Way Out anymore, but as X, it was so much fun. Riding around indoors with flashing lights and amazing techno beats playing. It was an EDM fan's dream. 7. Saw: The Ride (Thorpe Park) Riding this for the first time changed my view in horror. I was ready to watch the Saw movies after this and I love how quiet this coaster is as you go round it. All you really hear is the screams of the passengers. 6. Nemesis / Nemesis Inferno I had to put these two together due to how similar they are. Nemesis Inferno was the ride that allowed me to overcome my fear of going upside down and I'll always love it for that. Nemesis is very similar and all around slightly better, but again. These coasters are so similar, might as well mention both. 5. The Swarm (Thorpe Park) I love this design of coaster. Always hanging off the edge is so scary, but fun at the same time. 4. Oblivion (Alton Towers) This is hands down the scariest ride of all time for me. But when I finally did ride it after bailing out for 4 years, I had never felt so alive. 3. Stealth (Thorpe Park) The fastest coaster in the country. There isn't much to this one, but it earns it's spot here due to the adrenaline rush and the spectacular view from the top. 2. Galactica (Alton Towers) Even with the VR, this is a phenomenal ride. Sure, the VR experience wasn't perfect and I think that's because the technology wasn't ready, but I love how this coaster feels when riding. 1. The Smiler (Alton Towers) Despite the history behind this ride, it's always an enjoyable experience. I always get an adrenaline rush when riding and I mean, come on it inverts more than any coaster in the world.
