[PKI Jizzman]

I think Top Gun (Carowinds) is slipping on my list because I havent ridden it in two years Same with Rock N Rollercoaster...6 years

 

1. Millennium Force ( and I dont think Maverick will replace it )

2. Top Thrill Dragster. It's an amazing experiance like any other.

3. Magnum. It's an airtime machine...amazing setting

4. Top Gun: The Jet Coaster. Wonderful B&M invert that I can never see leaving my top 10

5. Thunderhead. The only GCI I have tamed...and this one kicked ass!

6. Mantis. Really unique experiance standing up an large loops and different elements.

7. Vortex. Kings Isand has done a great job preserving this coaster. Happy 20th birthday!

8. BORG Assimalator. I rode it the year it opened and it was awesome. Forcefull, and a whole new experiance

9. Raptor. It's a great B&M gotta love the zerog

10. Top Gun. Kings Island's amazing arrow suspeneded...could be the best one out there.

 

 

Missed

Flight of Fear. I REALLY dont like those breaks that make you come to a complete stop.

Wicked Twister. It was great the first time, but got boring....

Beast. only good in the front

Gemini. Really good! just not my top 10

[ginzo]

7. Vortex. Kings Isand has done a great job preserving this coaster. Happy 20th birthday!

 

I'm going to assume that you've ridden Tennessee Tornado because you've ridden Thunderhead. Do you really prefer Vortex to Tennessee Tornado? Both have pretty strong first drops, but Tennessee Tornado is a lot smoother and more intense. Vortex has more inversions and is longer, but I think TN Tornado has it whipped overall.

[boothy]

I have a fairly limited coaster count, so...

 

1. Hades, Mt.O

2. Raging Bull, SFGAM

3. B:TR, the original at SFGAM

4. Viper, SFGAM

5. Avalanche, Timber Falls

6. Cyclops, Mt.O

7. Demon, SFGAM

8. Zeus, Mt.O

9. Big Thunder Mt. Railroad, Magic Kingdom

10. Timberland Twister, MOA

 

I was a wuss when my family went to Cedar Point, otherwise I'm sure some of those would have made it on there somewhere. I believe I only rode Blue Streak, and Woodstock Express(laugh all you want).
