Top Ten Best Roller Coasters in the UK

A list of all the awesome rollercoasters in the UK.
The Top Ten
1 Nemesis @ Alton Towers

Wow! Really intense and terrifying, but you feel safe and can just enjoy it. You don't have to hold on for dear life! 100% the best at AT. I hated Air because it's so uncomfortable. The theming is AMAZING! So creative and different. Utterly a CLASSIC.

Nemesis is so cleverly designed and has such a big G-Force! I love the scenery. It's absolutely amazing and the idea is really good as well.

My favorite roller coaster ever, so intense yet smooth!

Absolutely amazing. I hated roller coasters until I went on Nemesis. Brilliant! It's a ride for everyone to enjoy! The best one there (apart from Air).

2 Avalanche @ Blackpool
3 The Big One @ Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Amazing height, amazing speed, amazing view, amazing drop, and amazing length of the ride!

Still edging the top of one of Europe's tallest coasters. A great thrill-seeking ride!

Epic ride... So fast, but it is so good! It goes 235 feet in the air. It is just incredible and should be at the top of the charts.

4 The Smiler @ Alton Towers

Gerstlauer's best. The only improvement I think could be made to the ride is the speed of the lift hills, which is INCREDIBLY slow (as in, glacier slow). Other than that, great paint, theming, train design, track layout, etc.

I loved the halfway bit. The Smiler and Stealth are the best rides I've been on. The Smiler has 30 turns.

Best ride ever! Thrill seekers have found their rollercoaster.

5 Oblivion @ Alton Towers

Amazing ride with such an intense drop, your stomach churns and you're close to throwing up!

I've been on a lot of rides, and you get used to them, how they feel. You never get used to that drop. Best ride I've ever been on for that extreme adrenaline rush.

6 The Ultimate @ Lightwater Valley

Hit my head on a tree on this ride, but that was my fault for sticking it out, ahah. Amazing ride, real thriller.

Heh, the second half of The Ultimate is a dangerous thing.

7 Dragon's Fury @ Chessington World of Adventures

Dragon's Fury is the best ride at Chessington, followed by Vampire and Tomb Blaster.

8 Th13teen @ Alton Towers

Awesome ride! Love the free fall and how you go backwards at the end.

9 Grand National @ Blackpool

Twin track racing wooden coaster. Still the best.

10 Rita @ Alton Towers
The Contenders
11 Shockwave @ Drayton Manor

First stand-up roller coaster and only stand-up roller coaster. Amazing pure fun, highly recommended.

12 Stealth @ Thorpe Park

Best ride ever! It's so fast, so high, and intense. Could it be better? I really recommend this ride to all theme park fans. It would be atrocious for you not to!

The best ride I have ever been on, though I would put The Smiler up there too. Fact: it is the fastest roller coaster in Europe!

Best coaster in Thorpe Park! Maybe even in the UK!

13 The Swarm @ Thorpe Park

Really epic ride. The twist at the start drops you into tight turns around scenery - was amazing!

Oh my, the head-choppers! Not to mention how brilliant some of the theming is.

Went on The Swarm four times today! Loved it. Smooth, fast, and very exciting.

14 Jubilee Odyssey @ Fantasy Island
15 Colossus @ Thorpe Park

Amazing! Nearly as good as The Smiler.

16 Saw: The Ride @ Thorpe Park
17 Air @ Alton Towers

Loved it. I love heights. I went on with my auntie, who is afraid of stuff like that. But she still enjoyed being upside down.

Best experience on a roller coaster!

18 Sonic Spinball @ Alton Towers

Making a ride based on a Sonic game (admittedly a rubbish one, though) was a great idea. And the ride is awesome.

19 Kumali @ Flamingo Land

Kumali is an intense ride and dried us off after the water rides!

One hell of a coaster, deserves to be in the top spots.

20 Nemesis Inferno @ Thorpe Park

Great ride! The air rushes through your face. So smooth. You can't go to Thorpe Park without going on it!

21 Megaphobia @ Oakwood

Greatest wooden coaster in the UK without a doubt!

22 Icon @ Blackpool Pleasure Beach

TWO stunning launches, LUDICROUSLY smooth, beautiful soundtrack... not intense, but insanely fun and re-rideable. Seriously, hands down, my favorite coaster in the UK.

It is a great ride that is also very comfortable as well as enjoyable for everyone.

23 The Vampire @ Chessington

An ideal coaster to get you into the bigger coasters. Fast through those trees, atmospheric starting place, well made, and a couple of those turns get you going...

Best ride ever! Great for adults and first-timers! With its small height restriction, anyone can enjoy this floorless adventure!

24 Rage @ Adventure Island
25 Mumbo Jumbo @ Flamingo Land
