i love alto of diffrent ones but my fave is the top spin, its an awsome ride especially if it has the fountais going and when the ride op gets his finger stuck on the button which operates them

Top Scans are kick-ass through and through. Especially when you get to listen to Lip Gloss full blast while riding...But Breakdances are also very fun. Like the scrambler from hell. I love when you stall facedown...

Eeeeh I don't know! I'll go with Top Scan though...

Ahh the top spin (Hang-Time) of my home park. Thanks to CF we cant get wet on it anymore.

I like the Entriprise the most. Maybe because it helped me get over my fear of going upside down on a rollercoaster.

I also like, a giant frisbee, SS Swings, Scramblers, and so many more.

Top spin, Topscan and Sky swat. Its impossible to pick one which is the best out of them 3 just because they all offer thrills in their own way, and are way better than some coasters even!

I've always been partial to enterprise rides. Like Jayman said though, nothing beats a zipper.

I gotta vote drop tower.
Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

I wish a company would make a reinforced Zipper design so that more places would agree to keep them. The Woodbury Days just lost it to public doubt of safety this year and now the only time I'll get to ride it is the two weeks out of the year the MN State Fair is operating...

The Beast @ Fantasy Island and James Mellors Space Roller [when you ride it in the day and get an extended run :D] really made teh choice for me!

Best I've been on would be a Zipper. (I haven't ridden too many flats)

Edit: Oops, forgot about Power Tower, oh well, just left the vote in... Those are pretty much all I've been on anyway...

Breakdance is one of my favorites, only if it's run well however. The Breakdance that is (or now was) at Astroland in Coney Island was the best I've ever been on. Coming in second is the Top Scan and three would have to go to the Zipper.
