Now i am sure if i rode Bizarro at SFNE that would be my number one. I am a HUGH B&M nut when it comes to steel but wood is my alltime favorite.

[SpartanTS]

In this order...

 

El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure

Nitro - Six Flags Great Adventure

Top Thrill Dragster - Cedar Point

Magnum XL-200 - Cedar Point

Millennium Force - Cedar Point

Griffon - Busch Gardens Europe

Big Bad Wolf - Busch Gardens Europe

 

El Toro has created a new standard for intense airtime IMO. I've never wanted to get on a wooden coaster over and over until I rode El Toro.

[BuschSchoe]

This list may seem strictly bias to the Mid-Atlantic region, but I have been on plenty of the coasters in Florida and this is how I honestly rank my top 10:

 

1)Alpengeist

2)Griffon

3)Apollo's Chariot

4)Fahrenheit

5)Dominator at Kings Dominion

6)Lightning Racer

7)Storm Runner

2. El Toro

3. Millennium Force

5. Storm Runner

6. Incredible Hulk

7. Griffon

8. Apollo's Chario

9. Magnum Xl 200

10. Big Bad Wolf

It's really hard to go any further than that and pick top 10 for each category.

[skiparoo37615]

top 10...

 

1. Kumba- makes me gray out everytime i ride it(BGA). i LOVE it

2. Return of the mummy(USO)- i think this is the perfect mix of airtime, great effects and just an all around comfortable ride.

3. Sheikra(BGA)- haven't ridden the floorless version yet but am looking forward to it. i really like the G's on this one.

4. Space Mountain(DMK)- its just a classic and still draws more than any ride in Disney.

5. Dueling Dragons Ice(USO)- i really love this coaster which is weird because i have a horrendous fear of inverted coasters (anything with my feet dangling freaks me out)

6. Mystery Mine(DW) - again a really well themed coaster, its a little rough in some parts, but the drops r pretty sick!

7.Kraken(SWO) the sickest zero G roll in history!

8. Expedition Everest(DAK) this is a great example of incredible theming, a steel coaster thats semi jerking like a wood coaster but not as bad, forwards, backwards, a broken yeti pretty good drops and force.

9 Dueling Dragons Fire(USO) again with the inverted coasters, extra scarey for me. but love the near misses

10. zephyr (ponchatrain beach new orleans now closed) this will show my age but it was my first coaster i rode it when i was 9 and it was an old wooden p.o.s. beat the bejesus outta u and was about the least safe i have ever felt on a coaster. i have to thank the zephyr for getting me hooked.

In the "Can't be touched" category:

Scooby Doo's Spooky Coaster - It's just an experience that can't be touched in my opinion. The ride, the theming, the place...it's just something that I will not forget.

 

Top 10 Coasters:

1. THE Voyage: Completely blew me away, ejector air all over the course, and a smooth but out of control feeling. WOW.

 

2. Maverick: It's just everything that I'd want from a coaster....and more!

3. Diamondback: I've been SOOO lucky to have different, exclusive rides that people have never had, nor will they be able to have! Those rides make this a HIGH top coaster in my list.

4. Goliath: Just sooo many times I got that stomach in my throat feeling. And I LOVE that feeling!

5. Space Mountain: Wow, I loved the experience! The ride and theming.

6. California Screamin': Very Similar to Maverick.

7. Cornball Express: Ejector air, crazy lay out, and buzzbars!

8. Kentucky Rumbler: Just an awesome wooden coaster.

9. Afterburn: Fanastic B&M invert, great forces, great elements.

10. Steel Hawg: One CRAZY coaster. Very NEW elements and feelings it gave me. It's something different, and I loved the hell out of this ride!
