There&#8217;ll be no doubt tons missed from this list but once we ride some more we&#8217;ll come back to update it. We&#8217;d love to know how you&#8217;d rank the ones you&#8217;ve rode below in the comments.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><u>1) The Swarm:<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s definitely one of the best UK coasters there is and how smooth it is, adds to it been so high in our list. The Swarm is an absolute dream and the way it rides reflects on it completely. It&#8217;s intense but as for experience it&#8217;s insane especially given we only have one winged rider in the UK.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/img_2582.jpg?resize=360%2C202&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" width=\"360\" height=\"202\"><\/p>\n<h3><u>2) Nemesis: <\/u><\/h3>\n<p>She&#8217;s a beast which we absolutely adore. Nemesis is such a treasure to the UK coaster line up and Alton Towers. The punch it packs and sheer amount of intensity is insane. It&#8217;s almost impossible to not love Nemesis and rave about it too.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_6306.jpg?resize=360%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\"><\/p>\n<h3><u>3) Oblivion:<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple and short but it never has stopped giving us butterflies on that drop. The nervous feeling of diving into that black hole hasn&#8217;t ever faded. It&#8217;s an incredible coaster which again packs insane amount of airtime.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_6453.jpg?resize=960%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2096\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_6453.jpg?w=1620&amp;ssl=1 1620w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_6453.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_6453.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_6453.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><u>4) Nemesis Inferno:<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>Nemesis little brother is also a beast. It&#8217;s longer by a few seconds but doesn&#8217;t feel that much different. However the height is real fab that is what puts this coaster so high into our list. The pre drop section with the smoke and lighting fully work is also fab.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/aff1d45b-1b04-45d0-bbcb-40ca37704f88.jpg?resize=720%2C919&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2097\" width=\"720\" height=\"919\"><\/p>\n<h3><u>5) Dragon Khan:<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>We loved Dragon Khan and fully embraced it whilst at PortAventura. It&#8217;s our first simple sit down B&amp;M and we adored it. The gorgeous sound of the B&amp;M roar is something we can&#8217;t get enough of.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/img_2562.jpg?resize=360%2C239&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" width=\"360\" height=\"239\"><\/p>\n<h3><u>6) Air:<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>The most relaxing and chilled coaster we&#8217;ve ever experienced and that&#8217;s why we love it. There&#8217;s nothing better then riding Nemesis then heading to ride Galactica ( Air) the ultimate chill ride. You could easily fall asleep on this coaster but that&#8217;s exactly why we love it.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_7321.jpg?resize=360%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\"><\/p>\n<h3><u>7) Shambhala:<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s like a big monorail that goes up and down and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so low down in our list. Personally I don&#8217;t enjoy Shambhala at all and never had half as much airtime as people rave about.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/62.jpg?resize=360%2C239&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" width=\"360\" height=\"239\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>I&#8217;d love to know yours below in the comments or across our socials.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Thank you for reading&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cb8cbb60-8e86-44a1-9e71-07246eddb6f0.png?w=960&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full\"><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Bolliger &#038; Mabillard Coaster We\u2019ve Rode Ranked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2096,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5053,5054],"tags":[562,39,558,106,509,560,559,256,257,535,561,536,294,325,370,394,398,402,416,448,483],"class_list":["post-1938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-theme-parks","category-themed-attractions","tag-air","tag-alton-towers","tag-bolliger-and-mabillard","tag-coaster-in-review","tag-dragon-khan","tag-hyper-coaster","tag-inverted-coaster","tag-merlin-annual-pass","tag-merlin-entertainment","tag-nemesis","tag-nemesis-inferno","tag-oblivion","tag-opinions","tag-portaventura-world","tag-shambhala","tag-the-swarm","tag-theme-park","tag-theme-park-blogger","tag-thorpe-park","tag-uk-theme-park","tag-winged-coaster"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dsc_6453.jpg?fit=1620%2C1080&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb4qDv-vg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1938"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2098,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1938\/revisions\/2098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coastersonthecoast.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
