Another vote for Shambhala here - rode it in both daylight and night over the last few days and it blew me away!
I appreciate your post, however please save it for when the poll comes out - just to avoid hundreds of posts for the same ride.

Anybody got any new ride suggestions?
Ah - sorry! Feel free to remove  :)

I'll have to choose:
The Smiler (Alton Towers)
Air (Alton Towers)
Shockwave (Drayton Manor)
Nemesis (Alton Towers)
if it can be rides as well as coasters:
Ripsaw (Alton Towers)

Yes it can be rides too. Some of them are on the list (see page 1), but for the ones that aren't, I'll add them now!

I'm sorry you are going to have to name the ones you want in. If not, I fear there'll be a debate about which coasters should go up/should kids coasters go on.
look at all the massive coasters those parks have to offer, and, my few would be as follows: SheiKra, Kumba, Griffon, Kingda Ka, Top Thrill Dragster, Millennium force, Maverick, Tatsu, Batman - The Ride (ALL of them as to the different six flags parks ;)) X-Flight, Raptor (Cedar Point) that is my list for the american parks :)

If I'm nominating up to 5 (I think that's what I've understood of the rules) then I will nominate the following coasters, none of which I believe are on the list:

- Wodan (Europa Park)
- Gwazi (Busch Gardens)
- Furius Baco (PortAventura)
- Megafobia (Oakwood)
- The Ultimate (lightwater Valley)

Pretty sure none of these are on the list and they are all tip top rides :)

Due to personal reasons, I have had to move the launch forward to now.

WE ARE LIVE! You can now vote for your ride of the year! You get 5 votes, but once you have decided you cannot change your mind.

Vote and then discuss your choices below!

I understand that I promised to accept suggestions until 8pm, so I will do so. If you want to suggest a ride, please PM me before 8pm tonight.

Happy voting!
