We will see what happens in August when I ride I305 and Maverick, (and later on Bizarro and Boulder Dash hopefully) but for right now:

 

1. Millennium Force

First rode it in 2001 and it's still my favorite. So fast and smooth, the pace never lets up. Maybe an odd layout (but I enjoy that) and not the most forceful coaster there is but just so damn enjoyable!

 

2. El Toro

A close 2nd...I love intense rides so this is just tops. Speed, extreme airtime, (shame they slowed the lift I miss the airtime over the crest) and a ferocious pace. That figure 8 at the end....sweet Jesus!

 

3. Nitro

Still holds up well. Good speed, good airtime, good pace and a fun layout. Some serious positive Gs on that helix. Just a well done hyper.

 

4. Skyrush

A surprise! I thought it would be fun but I did not expect this. Most extreme airtime ever, honest fear of flying out on those quick flicks, an intense lil ride. Just to too short. If it was longer this would be up at #2. Hell maybe threatening #1

 

5. Storm Runner

Better than KK or TTD in my book. Sure it doesnt go 120+ but a launch is always fun and I like how it actually has a layout. Intense one too! I get shoulder touching the restraint airtime right into those rolls...short but packs a whallop.

 

Rounding out my top 10 (in no order) is Apollo's Chariot, Volcano, The Incredible Hulk, Kraken and Ride of Steel (Darien Lake). Weak list I know lol

My top ten jumps around a lot, but here are my current favorites:

Manta at Sea World San Diego (An underrated gem that hauls arse for its size)

 

Maverick at Cedar Point (Although I haven't ridden it in six years, I remember it being one of the most intense and smoothest coasters ever)

 

Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point (An airtime powerhouse that isn't afraid to get rough with you)

 

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios Orlando (This is the ride that made me love Maurer. What else can I say about it?)

 

Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm (Millennium Force ain't got s*** on this overbank.)

 

And as for woodies, Pocky at SFMM. (Trust me when I say that this drop will kick your arse in the back three rows.)

Steel: Maverick, its fast, smooth (minus the occasional head bang), and very unique.Maverick8_001.thumb.jpg.c838483078ee9ebcded96dd6f8eea26f.jpg

Wood: The Voyage. Airtime haven in the back seat, out of control, and it will be getting some kick A$$ trains soon. Plus I have more laps on this monster than any other coaster I have ever ridden (9 without getting off, 17 in one day!) voyage.jpg.1dc5419f409e15113b62b9c244f53fe0.jpg

Cyclone at Coney Island

Comet at Great Escape.

Thunderbolt at Kennywood.

Blue Streak at Cedar Point.

Jack Rabbit at Seabreeze Park

Phoenix at Knoebles Groves.

Predator at Darien Lake

Jack Rabbit at Kennywood.

Blue Streak at Caunneaut Lake.

Silver Comet at Fantasy Island.
