Of the ones I have ridden.
Wood
1. Avalanche(Timber Falls)- This ride was incredible. Every seat had airtime on every hill and the laterals were intense.
2. Viper(SfGam)- What can I say about Viper? The whole ride is great and night rides can't be missed. If you like airtime and headchoppers, then this ride is for you.
3. Raven(Holiday World)- This ride was also amazing. I loved the out of control feeling and some great airtime.
4. Blue Streak(Cedar Point)- An oldey but a goody! The airtime was great on this classic.
5. American Eagle(SfGam)- Ok, you've heard moderate reviews of this classic staple at SfGam. the truth is Red is better than Blue. This past August Red was running some days will barely any trims. Can you say Amazing? There was nothing like it and you had airtime out of your seat. Then the helix showed what it could really do. It was a glimpse to how it must have run in its glory days.
Steel
1. Top Thrill Dragster(Cedar Point)- Height, Speed, etc. Even though Kingda Ka is soon upon us, it still won't be the same as Top Thrill Dragster.
2. Raging Bull(SfGam)- What an amazing ride. The great airtime in the back row on the first drop cannot be beaten by any other ride I have ridden. The ride is quick and had some great inclined loops and an intense figure 8 finale.
3. Raptor(Cedar Point)- This ride really surprised me. It was just an overall great, intense, and fun B&M invert.
4. DejaVu(SfGam)- I don't know if it is just great because it is never open and when it is, you fell honored, or if it really is that good. Whatever it is, I always come off this ride with a smile.
5. Mr. Freeze(SfStl)- Great launch, very intense, and awesome hangtime in the Top Hat inversion. It is just so great!
