UK roller coaster poll

[D4n]

@D4n lists Ultimate as first, @Danny lists it last

Really weird that one as generally I feel like I have quite similar taste in coasters to Danny

Or so I thought until you slapped that great big pile of steaming turd up as highly as you have!

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

Fantastic views and the wind in your hair. As opposed to nothing and then a 5 minute wait to get off

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 !!

This seems to the a common trend of people raving about the big ones first drop, but in my eyes it’s nothing special and oblivion’s drop was my favourite out the two, maybe some more big one rides this year will change my mind as I only rode 4 times last season, However... the coaster that comes after the drop on the big one leaves much to be desired.

Superb views of natural history and beautiful scenery, followed by a better drop and a smooth ride. As opposed to an hour long queue for one train, if it's even open, for a jarring jaunt over some triangles.

Two can play at that game.

Sit on the back row.

And I admit that the big one can be an acquired taste, but it's No.1 for me (now the rodent has passed away)

Been a while since I’ve had a back row on big one so I’m sure your right! heading over sometime in April hopefully when the weather picks up.

But being just 21 I haven’t had the opportunity to try as many classic arrows as others so maybe I just don’t have the same arrow buzz.

Not sure that 3 seconds of track after the drop is enough to determine if its smooth or not

We shall have to agree to disagree.

But you are right about T'Ultimate !

Looking at your top 5s, (or top 4 in John's case).
Connor and Ali have the newest selection (average 9 years old).
John, Matt 878787 and Danny have the oldest selection (average 19 years old).
(Before someone complains, I have rounded to the nearest year).

 

[Enter Valhalla]

Stealth, Megafobia, Big One, The Ultimate, Wickerman > Nemesis

Stealth, Megafobia, Big One, The Ultimate, Wickerman > Nemesis

Even on most globally recognised polls. Nemesis still fares extremely well compared to any of those and rightfully so.

Well if a poll says it then it can’t be wrong
