Your Top 10 Coasters

[simon8899]

1) Thriller - in it's original carnival layout, later ruined in the US then deported to Mexico

2) Olympia Looping - carnival

3) Dreier-Looping - carnival, today in Mexico-City

4) X2 - SFMM

5) Blue Fire - Europa-Park

6) Montezooma's Revenge - Knotts

7) Fluch von Novgorod - Hansa-Park

8) Katapult - carnival, no operational installation remaining today

9) Tornado - Särkeniemmi

10) Ukko - Linnanmaki

 

As you can guess I've a preference for forceful steel inversion loopers. Even if I do Megas, Hpyers and Woodies if they're in the area I'd prefer a powerful Schwarzkopf looper to these day or night.

I'll have to redo this when I have a chance to travel east, but given the California parks I've been to:

 

1: X (SFMM, I actually prefer the old cars)

2: Superman: Ultimate Flight (SFDK)

3: Giant Dipper (SCBB)

4: Demon (CGA)

5: Tatsu (SFMM)

6: Flight Deck (CGA)

7: Apocalypse (SFMM)

8: Colossus Backwards (SFMM)

9: Riddler's Revenge (SFMM)

10: Kong (SFDK..yes, seriously, Kong!)

 

Honorable mentions: Medusa, Goliath (SFMM), California Screamin.

 

If I had the opportunity to ride it I am positive that Starry Sky Ripper/Sky Scrapper would easily make #2 on my list. I hope to visit Cedar Point and/or SFGAdv some time next year so hopefully this list will get some more variety.
