Best English Inverting Coaster

Please post reason why.

 

Nemesis by a very long way.

 

G-Force. Where to start? It's simply superb.

 

Odyssey

 

The Odyssey, aye.

 

Why limit the poll to England rather than the UK? Speed at Oakwood is better than half of the rides listed.

 

Because I haven't been on any coasters anywhere else in the uk and don't know many

 

To be fair Speed is probably the only one that's any good, there's only a handful of other looping coasters at other parks and as far as I know they're all Pinfaris

 

I was going to vote for my favourites at M&D's until I realised the thread title said England...

Tip: when creating threads try and put some thought into the first post. Maybe share your own thoughts on what your favourite ride is. Otherwise you might end up with a string of posts that don't take the thread entirely seriously...

 

tl:dr = Which is best, The Smiler or Nemesis

;D

 

Odyssey for me too, nice to have a ride high up with a crazy wind lol

 

Shockwave because it's amazing

 

The Smiler.

 

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.

Maybe if Alton Towers rides were cut out of the poll then you would start to have an interesting poll and topic fold out!

 

This.

 

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.

 

I REALLY disliked The Smiler, but as the season went on, I got won over by it. It is not precision, quality, slick like Nemesis is granted - this is why Nemesis still takes it for me - you have to (if you can) consider you rode them both for the first time at the same time, to have ridden it that many times and still not be bored is extraordinary.

What is more, The Smiler is going to age badly, where as Nemesis has grown old gracefully. The "silver fox" of the coaster world.

However, relentless crazy inversion after relentless crazy inversion or not, that twisted heap of steel that looks like it was designed by the cable fairy (the one who messes up the wires behind the TV) is still something a little bit special. That ride in the space the fantastic Black Hole took up? That deserves plaudits.

And it did it's job, it made me Smile, repeatedly. Great coaster. (PLEASE FIX IT!)

 

*ahem*

I actually agree with TheMan to a certain extent. I would say Nemesis and The Smiler are on par with one another. However they should not be compared too greatly. Nemesis is great for its intensity. The Smiler is great for its fun and madness.

Actually both The Smiler and Nemesis for me are the best 'inverting' roller coasters in the UK.
