1. Nemesis
I need say nothing more. I make a commitment to get on Nemmy at least once each day I'm at Towers, and since my first trip in 2007 when I could finally go on it, I have kept to that. For me, this is easily the best coaster at Towers. Late at night on the front row is just perfection. <3
2. Oblivion
For a while, this was my favourite at Towers, but Nemmy did finally top it a couple of years ago. It's short, but that's part of its pull for me. It still packs a punch, and I love it.
3. The Smiler
I know its placing may be a bit controversial, but I do like it. It's what the park has needed for a long time. Sure, there's the awful queue line, and the inevitable game of Train Roulette, but on a good day, it's a great coaster. It's just inversion after inversion after inversion, and hardly any time to breathe between each one!
4. Air
A lot of people don't like Air. I don't mind it. It's not the most thrilling coaster in the world, but it was never supposed to be. John Wardley has said that Air was designed to simulate the experience of flight, and it fills this remit. It's especially good at night, as I found out in 2012 at Fireworks.
5. Thirteen
For what it is, Thirteen isn't that bad. It fits the bill of what it was supposed to be (excluding the vastly over-the-top marketing), and it's a solid ride. Yeah, the trims on the first drop ruin it a bit, and the outdoor section is poor, but the indoor drop gets me every single time.
6. Sonic Spinball
The throughput may not be all that wonderful, and it may be a Maurer coaster, but it's actually decent. If the car is weighted in the right way, it can provide a good ride. I wouldn't queue more than 20 minutes for it, though.
7. RMT
I think this may have been my first coaster at Towers. For what it is, it's decent, with the shared Rapids tunnel being the high point of the ride. If there's a short queue for it, then I don't mind waiting. Otherwise, I normally end up on the Rapids.
8. Rita
The launch is intense, the layout's half-decent...and that's about it for the positives of Rita. The throughput's nowhere near what it should be, queues are excessively long, it's rough in places, and whenever I sit on the right of the train, I get this pain in my right thigh near the hip joint, which doesn't go away for a couple of minutes after I get off it.
