After reading the responses to RPM's topic, I thought I would ask you lot which coaster is themed the best. Disregard layout, how good riding it is etc.
For me, Nemesis is the best. John Wardley's genius shining through again. The story of the alien feeding on the riders and that awesome music and blood effect. Wow! The paint scheme kicks butt too!
Hands Down...Dueling Dragons.....the queue line itself could be considered a ride...and it def. has the best theme ever.
Dueling Dragons has a very cool queue area, I was a little disappointed with the area that the ride occupies though - little in the way of trees, grass etc. or is it just my bad memory?
Probably Dueling Dragons, or Alpengeist.
I think Disney wins the theming game. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. You pick which one, they all look incredible. As for the ride... you know.

Gotta ride 'em all!
Dueling Dragons or Big Thunder mt.
I think the best themeing has to be the Incredible Hulk roller coaster at IOA. The story line behind it contributes to the theming of the ride.
Wel i have just got back from Florida and i went to IOA and not any of the rides had nearly as nice theming as Nemesis at Alton Towers. This is truly the most amazing piece of genius i have seen.
Dueling Dragons
From what I have seen of nemesis it has nice theming but it is only one coaster that is dug in the ground because they could not build it above ground.
The dragons whole concept is better than that two inverts themed of dragons that battle it out. And then you got the que a entire castle just for the que and the stations. And don't forget the entrance sign.

#1 Steel-Incredible Hulk
#1 Wood--Timber Wolf

I've seen both Dueling Dragons and Nemesis. Nemesis whoops Dueling Dragons' backside! I thought the ride area for Dueling Dragons lacked great theming. The castle and its queue are amazing but the actual area that the ride occupies was a disappointment.
The Dueling Dragons theming is great!

Nemesis, what more is there to say?

ENG-ER-LAND!!
Adventure Express:3 Reasons
1.In a ravine with lots of tress.
2.It has four tunnels.
3.The other 3 million in theming.
Yes, big thunder mountain is the best themed rollercoaster there is, at either disney park.
I think Exterminator.

What is life with out coasters, geniuses, and/or SFA
I'd have to say Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris.

V²-Vertical Velocity- I'm off and running! May 5!
I think Flight of Fear is themed very well. The spaceship inside the warehouse, and the creepy loading station complete with aliens in test-tubes is very well done. Too bad I can't say that for the rest of the ride, though.
