Hi guys. Even though it's not my personal favourite UK coaster, I've noticed that from talking to a number of enthusiasts, Nemesis still seems to be the "general favourite" so to speak among enthusiasts in this country, so I'd be intrigued to know; what would your favourite UK coaster be if Nemesis didn't exist? What is your favourite non-Nemesis UK coaster?

For some idea of context, Nemesis is presently my 3rd favourite UK coaster; here is my present UK top 5:
  1. Icon
  2. The Swarm
  3. Nemesis
  4. Wicker Man
  5. Nemesis Inferno
If I were to extend to a UK top 10, it would look like this:
  1. Icon
  2. The Swarm
  3. Nemesis
  4. Wicker Man
  5. Nemesis Inferno
  6. Megafobia
  7. Stealth
  8. Galactica
  9. Oblivion
  10. Nickelodeon Streak
So my answer to this question is Icon, which is my favourite UK coaster anyway. But what is your favourite non-Nemesis UK coaster?
 
You're right Matt. NEMMIE is my favourite, and there would be a huge gap between my first and second place. It's difficult to choose a second favourite, but here goes...

Second - Smiler

Joint thirds

WIckerman
Grand National
Odyssey
13
Oblivion
Icon

It may seem a cop out, but I love them all...

And my all time worst coaster... I'm looking at you, Hero!

Am I the only person on this forum to prefer the Smiler to Nemesis?
Anyway, my top 5
1. The Smiler
2. Pepsi Max Big One
3. The Swarm
4. Saw
5. Oblivion
 
This is a tough one! At the minute I think my top 5 would be this.

1. Icon
2. Wickerman
3. The Smiler
4. Oblivion
5. Grand National

But yeah, Nemesis would sit well and truly at the top for me, for so many reason - many personal memories, but also just for it's timeless quality.
 
It's Stealth. 2 to 6 is is roughly this:

2. Stealth
3. Oblivion
4. Icon
5. Wicker Man
6. Swarm
 
Galactica (without VR obviously)
Wickerman
Oblivion
Icon
Swarm
Nemesis Inferno
Megafobia
Wipeout (really just for nostalgia reasons)
 
1) Vampire
2)swarm
3)Nemesis Inferno
4)rattlesnake
5)oblivion

Not really a ride but use to love the action man thing at chessington as a kid
