After easily the largest year coaster wise for me (100 new credits!), my top 10 has gone under many changes!
1. Fury 325
2. Intimidator 305
3. Wicked Cyclone
4. Skyrush
5. El Toro
6. X2
7. Leviathan
8. Maverick
9. Coaster at Playland
10. Twisted Colossus
Honorable Mentions include Cannibal and Joker SFDK, which can be swapped for 10th spot depending on the mood/how good recent rides were!
Not necessarily the coolest thing I've seen at an amusement park, but when I went to Knoebels, there was a lady that decided to sit on her phone, on Phoenix. Miraculously her phone didn't fly out until the last airtime hill. The ride ops and everyone else in the station just chuckled at her as she freaked out about her phone...
I've always thought Las Vegas would be a great place for a large-scale amusement park. There are millions of tourists each year, and the two waterparks are to far away for most tourists to travel to. Also the Adventuredome is very small. Even something like KK would be a good fit for Vegas.

I really need to work on my wooden coaster list!
What I am doing is staying at a hotel near SFMM on friday night, then driving to Knotts after the Night ERT. So one night at SFMM and two at Knotts. I find it a lot easier this way instead of staying at one place the whole weekend.
