*Updated*

North Carolina: Carolina Cyclone

South Carolina: Afterburn

Virginia: Volcano

Georgia: Goliath

Florida: Kraken

Tennessee: Thunderhead

 

Keep in mind I hadn't been to Carowinds, BGW or SFOG since 2008 and KD since 1999 so if I were to go soon some will likely change. For Carowinds I chose those based on whether the station was in NC or SC.

I haven't been to a whole lot of theme parks, but here goes.

 

California: Currently X2, but Twisted Colossus could very well change that.

Nevada: Desperado (haven't been on El Loco).

Utah: Colossus the Fire Dragon (haven't been since Wicked).

Ohio: Maverick.

Florida: Expedition Everest (haven't been to any of the Seaworld or Universal parks).
