How Did 2012 Edit Your Top 10 Roller Coaster List?

In this topic, you just put what your top 10 roller coasters list looked like at the end of 2011 and where it is now near the end of 2012.

[texcoaster]

Some new coasters entered the list and some got shuffled around because they were better or not as good as previous years.

 

On the wood list, Wodan enters at #8 and Legend, which I was never overly fond of before, kicked my azz with multiple OMGWTF rides this year and lands at #3, just behind Voyage and El Toro. Wow. Raven comes in at #10, putting all three of HW's coasters on my top ten.

 

On the steel list, blue fire Megacoaster sneaks in at #8. The coasters above it remained unchanged.
