I'll take X, one of the most highly recognized coasters, which despite being rough in certain areas is generally considered a good ride.

I liked one of DCs's picks from last year so much that I decided I had to have it this year myself.

Sorry coolbeans, but you missed your turn by about 1.5 hours.

I'll take Mr. Freeze at SFStl.

I didn't plan this as I thought it would go early, but now that no one wants it I'll take one of the greatest GCI's, and one of the more air-timey ones:
The Ozark Wildcat at Celebration City!

According to Joel Rogers, "This ride is fast, smooth, and extremely fun. While most GCI coasters don't have much airtime, Ozark Wildcat features lots of it!"

SROS at SFA: This ride has some SERIOUS kick near the end, It is easily overlooked with its more popular big brother, but still an amazing coaster.

I don't think its overlooked. While it does have a good ending, I for one feel the whole ride is such an utter dissappointment, especially knowing that it could have been so much more, and still take up the same ammount of space.

I'm not that big a fan of the twin SROS's, but your right, those three hills at the end are pretty good, along with the drop. It's just that dang straitaway that ruins it for me.

I wonder which woodie Chris is going after next?
