australianalex Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Nemesis (Thorpe Park) - 1 Just a correction, Nemesis is at Alton Towers. The one at Thorpe Park is called Nemesis Inferno. My vote goes for the one at Alton Towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commando Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 +1 for Bizarro (SFNE). Its just simply everything you could ever want a roller coaster to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yeti Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 My favorite coaster is Maverick. It changed what I look for in a coaster, which other than taking the number one spot really made me rethink my top 10. The intensity just blew me away, and I loved every second of it. Why don't more rides have Stengel Dives? Of course, I haven't ridden many amazing coasters, mostly just B&M, but big hills and lots of loops don't matter to me anymore - I just like a ride that packs a punch  You don't seem to be keeping track of wood coasters separately, but if you do, my favorite woodie is Prowler.

mwoods244 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Skyrush was great, but still didn't top my favorite ride. Â Maverick is by far the best coaster I have been on. It had everything! Drops, speed, insane transitions, inversions and turns. Â If you are going to do a separate category for wood, The Voyage takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterRollin Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 El Toro - SFGAdv  Discerningly quick lift hill that doesn't really give you time to prepare yourself (especially on your first ride) Absolutely breathtaking first drop Crazy insane ejector air time in all seats that you can really feel in your stomach, especially the back Smooth Gives great sense of speed, especially with the twisting finale Intamin "farting" sound as the upstop wheels slam against the tracks  I base my decision on how repeatable/memorable the ride experience is. I love S:RoS at SFA, but I can easily get bored with I ride it too much. El Toro, never never gets old... plus it's just better anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I vote Wildfire (SDC) #1, followed by Mamba (Worlds of Fun) and the Boss (Six Flags St. Louis) close behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbear30 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 New Texas Giant....smooth, amazing airtime, fast and just tons of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 El Toro would take the top spot for me. Â From the first drop to the end of the ride, it's all about intensity and airtime. Crazy ejector airtime on almost all the hills and it contains the greatest moment of airtime I've ever experienced...the Rolling Thunder Hill. I'm pretty sure that hill could launch someone into orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athletekim Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 El Toro  One of the smoothest wooden coasters I have been on. I love every aspect of it from the fast lift hill to the airtime. The ride is fun no matter how many times you go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thunderbolt at Kennywood.  -The most intense Airtime I've ever experienced anywhere -Forcefull -Smooth -Terrain hugging  The Voyage at Holiday World might take the top spot once I ride it, that POV has me hooked!

brneff99 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 For those I've actually ridden, I'd have to go with X2 and the Voyage... Â For those I'd love to ride and have thus far only dreamed about, I'd have to go with Maverick and El Toro.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Without a doubt, it would be El Toro. Â Reasons: The Rolling Thunder hill, need I say more. Oh, and the first drop ain't too shabby either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Without a doubt, it would be El Toro. Reasons: The Rolling Thunder hill, need I say more.

TXman308 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Due to the fact that I've haven't been to many parks on the East Coast, I have to vote for Millennium Force. May not be the most forceful, but I always have a smile on my face at the end of that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Put me in for El Toro as well! The first drop is amazing, the infamous ejector hill is insane,... you literally feel like you're riding a rampaging bucking bull.... just feels so wild and out of control. Hands down my #1.
