UK roller coaster poll

Favourite Ride
The Smiler
This came out the "have we passed the golden age of theme parks" thread to test out a question: In the UK, do we prefer the latest roller coasters or older ones. We (that is me and Matt N) would like people to rank their favourite UK roller coasters. Any roller coaster currently operating that you have been on can be included in your list but please only include kiddie/family coasters if they are not a common model. (There is little point adding Go-Gators or Wacky Worms given they are practically the same the world over).

It's sad to see nash so low down on people's lists

Chiropractor bills are expensive that's why. ;)

It once was a brilliant coaster. I absolute hate it now. Way too rough. Brutal in places actually.

It's what makes it what it is!

Though yeah, my last ride was particularly painful
 
I want to love Nash but it is absolutely unbearable, especially on the first drop. I don't mind a rough ride but Nash takes the biscuit.
 
I can't understand why people rate Oblivion way ahead of The Big One.

Everyone moans that the big one is a one drop ride but it's a better drop than oblivion and then you get a lot more of a ride afterwards. Oblivion is over in 7 seconds !!

You do indeed get a lot more ride on The Big One, but that's quite unfortunate in this case.
