Nemesis is a great ride.

I love Saw at Thorpe Park though. The darkness makes the first half really intense and the theming makes you feel a bit creeped out (As if you are waiting to die)

Nemmy is brilliant but I do think it has some competition.
I also believe it is the best (if not Saw The ride)
But I'll see what the big one is like and perhaps I'll change my mind
Love the TP industry :)

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even those who don't see things clearly.

and I mistakenly said Wild Mouse is the second best, I forgot about Dragon's Fury.

I don't even think Saw would make my Top 10 in the UK.

Yeah, agreed. Saw is a pile of manure.

I think I'd be inclined to give best in the UK to Nemesis too, though I'd toss in an honourable mention for Stealth.

Nemesis. Can't think of anything that would come close to challenging it.

Some of the quotes I totally agree with.

If you don't think it is Nemesis there is something seriously wrong with you

Nemesis is world class, I'd like to add Megafobia as a honorable mention :)

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I accept that completely. I just find it strange that Saw isn't so popular. I thought it was more thrilling than the other rides at Thorpe Park and the theming made the whole thing even better. Why does it get a hard time?

Why do I still have a donkey title???

Here is my top 10 British coasters:

1 Nemesis
2 Grand National
3 Stealth
4 Wild Mouse
5 Saw: The Ride
6 Rita
7 The Swarm
8 Thirteen
9 Big Dipper
10 Colossus

^ I do actually really like Thirteen, it is highly rerideable and really good fun.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned X:\ No Way Out! :Pr

EDIT: If anyone is interested here is my bottom 5 (not including kiddy coasters, worst first):

1 X:\ No Way Out!!! (Infamously crap coaster, ride it every time I go for laughs)
2 Wall's Twister Ride (Reverchon Spinner...)
3 Infusion (It's an SLC...)
4 Air (Plain dull)
5 G Force (Would actually be a fairly decent coaster without the restraints trying to kill you!)
