Considering this is primarily an Alton Towers forum the poll is pretty pointless.
It's obvious Nemesis will win and you'll have a handful that say The Smiler is better.
Well, the fact Nemesis will win is nothing to do with the fact that this is an Alton Towers forum. It'll win because it
is the best inverting coaster in the UK by quite a distance.
I disagree, The Smiler is not that far behind Nemesis. I am a proper Nemesis fan boy in that regard, but I am not a Towers apologist - I go to Towers, because it generally has the best rides, not because it's Towers.
It's like Stealth & Swarm I very much love, ok, perhaps only 1 seat on Swarm I actually really enjoy riding it on - which is a bit weird, but having tried a fair few there is one particular seat I really do love it. I haven't ridden the others. If it was not absolutely stupidly harsh nowadays Colossus would be up there for being a good old fashioned coaster style.
There are plenty of Towers critics on here to keep this poll interesting, but for me, pound for pound Nemesis & The Smiler are very, very hard to beat - Nemesis at night, in the dark though, is absolutely insane and that is why for me it takes it... JUST.
