[Airtime&Gravity]

My new list:

 

1. El Toro-The airtime is simply amazing, and it is even better right before the park closes when it is completely dark out

 

2. Avalanche-This is an awesome compact wooden coaster, and there are never any lines

 

3. Chang-An awesome stand-up with some great elements

 

4. Nitro-Another great B&M with good airtime on all the hills

 

5. Kingda Ka-The launch on this coaster is amazing, but it is way too short of a ride.(I only like it this much because there was no wait when I went)

 

6. Viper-A great wooden coaster, and every hill has great airtime

 

7. Cyclone(Lakeside)-an excellent wooden coaster, and the first drop has some of the best airtime on any of the coasters I've ridden.

 

8. Raging Bull-A decent hyper, but there isn't much air time due to trim brakes.

 

9. Deja vu- This is a great inverted coasters, and it is one of the few coasters that still scares me.

 

10 T2-I actually like this coaster even though many hate it. When I rode it, it was my first (and only still) SLC, it had some good elements, and it was smooth.
