[Coasterkidmwm]

1. Magnum
2. Millennium Force
3. Boss
4. Batman: The Ride
5. Shockwave (SFGAM)
6. Dragster (the launch is really cool so get over it)
7. Viper (SFGAm)
8. Whizzer
9. Storm Runner
10. Screaming Eagle

Like Maverick duh!

1. Nitro @ SFGAdv, NJ
2. Griffon @ Busch Gardens, VA
3. Millenium Force @ CP, OH
4. El Toro @ SFGAdv, NJ
5. KingdaKa @SFGAdv, NJ/TTD @ CP, OH
6. Apollo's Chariot @ Busch Gardens, VA
7. Incredible Hulk @ Universal, FL
8. Goliath @ SFOG, GA
9. Kraken @ SeaWorld, FL
10. Alpengiest @ Busch Gardens, VA

Most of my coaster experience is in the eastern usa, I've been on every major roller coaster in the east. I've never been out west to ride the stuff out there so sorry i couldn't put it into my top 10. I put KingdaKa and TTD in the same spot because in all honesty i couldnt tell that one was faster/ higher than the other so i cant say one was better.

In no order, it's too hard now!

1. El Toro
2. Nitro
3. Tatsu
4. Sheikra
5. Raptor
6. Millennium Force
7. Dueling Dragons (both I guess)
8. Top Thrill Dragster
9. Kraken
10. Wicked Twister
11. The Incredible Hulk

Aha, I couldn't decide between Tiwster and Hulk. Honourable mentions:

Riddlers Revenge
Superman Darien Lake
Xcelerator
GhostRider

I find it really hard to combine wood and steel. It is hard enough to come up with them separately!

Wood:

1 = Voyage - Holiday World
2 = Thunderhead - Dollywood
3 = Phoenix - Knoebel's
4 = Boulder Dash - Lake Compounce
5 = Tonnerre De Zeus - Parc Asterix
6 = Shivering Timbers - Michigan's Adventure
7 = Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain - Indiana Beach
8 = Texas Giant (old) - SFOT
9 = Hellcat - Timber Falls
10 = Loup Garou - Six Flags Belgium

Steel:

1 = Magnum XL-200 - Cedar Point
2 = Behemoth - Canada's Wonderland
3 = Mindbender - SFOG
4 = Expedition GeForce - Holiday Park
5 = Kumba - Busch Gardens Tampa
6 = Apollo's Chariot - Busch Gardens Williamsburg
7 = Nemesis - Alton Towers
8 = Goliath - La Ronde
9 = Shockwave - SFOT
10 = Big Bad Wolf - Busch Gardens Williamsburg

I'm a person that doesn't need to go 100 mph to like the ride. I like classic fun as much. That is why Lost Coaster is on list. That ride is so much freaking fun!

Here are mine, they are from two different parks, and though I've been to three, I went to SFGAdv when I was young and only rode two coasters.

#1- Diamondback at Kings Island, My favorite because it has the most airtime on any steel coaster and is awesome to ride at sunset.

#2- Banshee at Kings Island, Very, very underrated coaster, it only had a 7 minute wait when I rode it, and that last inversion <3

#3- The Beast at Kings Island, My all time favorite wooden coaster, I loved the drops and the best part was the last huge helix, in every tunnel, it actually sounds like a beast roaring through

#4- Thunderhead at Dollywood, a very close second of my favorite wooden coasters, The drop is great, the twists and turns are fun, and the station fly-by is great on ride and while you're waiting in line.

#5- Wild Eagle at Dollywood, A fantastic wing coaster, many people say it's forceless in the front, however, I found it very forceful

#6- Top Gun/Flight Deck/The Bat at Kings Island, Yes, I put this ahead of Firehawk, though it's a short ride, it's fun, the drop is cool and when you ride it in fall when its 40 degrees, your eyes water the whole ride, and is overall a nice coaster

#7- Firehawk at Kings Island, This is a nice coaster, and while some people say it's rough, I find it smooth every time I ride, and the loop is awesome.

#8- Mystery Mine at Dollywood, Although it is a headbanger, the finale of this ride is very cool and fun, this also was my first inverting coaster.

#9- The Racer at Kings Island, This was an ok ride, not very enjoyable when you smash your knee on the side of the train.

#10- Firechaser Express at Kings Island, This in my opinion is the best family coaster ever, the launches are great (especially the backwards one), and is a great starting ride for kids.
