[Jumboshrmp]

Top Ten Steel (In other words, my top ten overall):

1) Sheikra (The best drop sensation in the world, very scary. Plus, tons of hangtime on the immelmann)

2) Montu (Great combination of inversions. Most vertical loops on inverts are too small to be fun ...too much +G, not enough hangtime)

3) Kraken (The best Zero G Roll ever, and a great first drop)

4) The Incredible Hulk Coaster (Launching into a zero G roll is one of the most ingenious ideas ever)

5) Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (My first inverting coaster, and has the best corkscrew of any coaster I've been on.. B&M corkscrews are too tight and the sensation is unpleasant, not fun)

6) Dueling Dragons Fire (Great airtime hill, and two immelmanns, which I love)

7) Kumba (The best vertical loop of any coaster I have been on... tons of hangtime)

8) Revenge of the Mummy (More airtime than I could ever dream of, not to mention the special effects)

9) Dueling Dragons Ice (Zero g roll, and a cool turnaround after the first drop)

10) Space Mountain in Florida(Nothing beats this classic ride. While I hate the rough bounciness of a woodie, I absoluterly love it when a bumpy steel coaster comes along. The bumps actually make this ride kinda fun)

 

Top Ten Wood:

1)Dania Beach Hurricane (Some okay airtime, but very slow paced turns, would be more exciting if it had some higher banking)

 

That's it. Sure, I've been on both Gwazi, but neither deserves a position on that list.

Yep.

Isn't that a bit contradictory? If you like to ride 'em, then you know the point is having fun while riding them....right?

 

Anyway, besides the DBH, once you have the opportunity to leave Florida for once, it may become a bit clearer what the point is. I think the northern states may hold the key to your full understanding of wood, my friend.
