I haven't been on enough popular woodies but I really like American Eagle's, and Wildcat's (Hershey) drop

 

American eagle still scares me after almost 10 years of riding it, and I love the Lats/uncontrollable feeling of wildcat's drop in the back

I also haven't really been on many quality woodies so my favourite right now is Cú Chulainn's drop in the back (at Tayto Park)

I haven't been on many great wooden coasters, but for me it's the Intamin woodies that stands in a league of their own. El Toro is by far my favorite, followed by Balder.

Hard to say... I think the first drop on Troy in Toverland beats f.e. Wodan and Joris en de Draak. Outside Europe I barely have ridden woodies, so can't judge there.

El Toro

I still prefer Outlaw Run. Not sure why. El Toro has an amazing drop!!! But I'm still partial to Outlaw Run... maybe because it's been so long since I've been on El Toro..

Of the wooden coasters I've been on, El Toro is head and shoulders above being head and shoulders superior to everything else I've been on. The way you get launched out of your seat is absolutely unreal!

Outlaw Run still is my winner. I love Toro to death, but OR's pre drop and snap over the hill is breathtaking. Plus it has a much better view.

 

Toro's turnaround gives you a little more time to prepare for the drop. Once I get on Lightning Rod, I bet it will take my number one spot.

Every one of the reasons you listed are reasons why Outlaw Run is my winner as well. I LOVE El Toro, but Outlaw Run still beats it.

 

I agree with you. Once I get on Lightning Rod next year, Outlaw Run may become my #2 wooden coaster.

I haven't been on El Toro yet (or anything on the East Coast for that matter), but I will say of the Midwest woodies, Goliath has the best first drop. It's huge and goes into a tunnel, and as steep and smooth as they come.

 

Outlaw Run's is almost as good, being only 3 feet shorter and 2 degrees less steep. The experience is almost the same, but the tunnel really makes it for Goliath. You feel like you're being flung straight into the earth.

 

I also really like Boss's double-down first drop. The first part is so long, but then instead of coming back up, it drops again, this time through the support structure. Awesome.

Just coming to post on the El Toro band wagon. I had no idea it was so intense when I first rode it and it really took my breathe away and it has a nice head chopper effect. Haven't been on a RMC yet though. Not even sure if half of them count, lol.

Wicked Cyclone in the back row. You get thrown out on the crest and then get slammed back down with some great positives before the overbank.

 

WC definitely has a great first drop but it's moved on to the steel category thanks to the awesome RMC conversion! And I'm going to jump on the El Toro bandwagon as well. That first drop in the back seat is my favorite first drop on any coaster.
