[RCT2day]

Cheetah Hunt @ Busch Gardens Tampa and honorable mention to Skyrush @ Hershey.

Intimidator 305 for sure.

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.

[RideofSteel]

Goliath at SFNE

[Commando]

+1 for Bizarro (SFNE). Its just simply everything you could ever want a roller coaster to be.

Oh, sorry about that

 

I just edited it btw.

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]

Skyrush was great, but still didn't top my favorite ride.

 

Maverick is by far the best coaster I have been on. It had everything! Drops, speed, insane transitions, inversions and turns.

 

If you are going to do a separate category for wood, The Voyage takes the cake.

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

[ytterbiumanalyst]

I vote Wildfire (SDC) #1, followed by Mamba (Worlds of Fun) and the Boss (Six Flags St. Louis) close behind.

[Christopoll]

Ok, votes added!

[Intimidator305]

Intimidator 305

[coasterbear30]

New Texas Giant....smooth, amazing airtime, fast and just tons of fun!

[mightypotato]

El Toro would take the top spot for me.

 

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.

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.

[donkeyman18]

El toro the most amazing roller coaster i've ever been on.

[narkitty]

One more vote for New Texas Giant.

[JonnyRCT3]

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]

For those I've actually ridden, I'd have to go with X2 and the Voyage...

 

For those I'd love to ride and have thus far only dreamed about, I'd have to go with Maverick and El Toro....

[alpengeist04]

Without a doubt, it would be El Toro.

 

Reasons:

The Rolling Thunder hill, need I say more. Oh, and the first drop ain't too shabby either.

This is exactly what I was going to say. El Toro.

[TXman308]

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.

[intaminfan98]

Bizarro #1

[Christopoll]

Bizarro #1

 

Bizarro at which park? SFNE or SFGA?

[RAWKIN_coaster38]

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.
