I'm going to have to say Shockwave at SFGAM. I loved that coaster even though it got really rough towards the end. That first drop kicked some butt!

I'm sure that Hercules was a decent coaster the first year or so it was open.

Thriller. I would have been very happy just to get one ride on this classic masterpiece! Also there are a lot of old woodies I would've really liked to try, like the original flying turns and the riverview bobs!
Coaster count: 153
Moving to Singapore in july!

^I agree with the Bobs. My father and his friend always talk about how their brothers would ride hands up while he's watching the car plummet down the drop from the midway. He says it was a wild ride, and could (very unusually for my dad) describe most of the layout and its features. I wish I could have had a chance to ride that.

Hehe Jozi express GRC, that thing is barely operating anyways.
Basically all old coasters shouldn't be demolished but instead refurbished. [lol]

Well all the oldtime Traver coasters and aeroplane bobs and the like...especially CBC. And then also Flashback...it really was an incredible ride. They should of just put a "dont ride this ride if youre a *****" sign in front of it rather than take it down. It may have been a bit of a headbanger, but it was far and away the best ride of that size ive ever ridden.

Big Dipper @ Geauga Lake
Raging Wolf Bobs @ Geauga Lake
Villian @ Geauga Lake
Blue Streak @ Conneaut Lake Park (after the recent ballroom fire, there's no telling when or if this park will re open)
Crystal Beach Cyclone
The Bat @ Kings Island


Pretty much nailed my list, although I would remove The Bat @ Kings Island, was horrible.

also add...Euclid Beach and it's collection of coasters, never got to go there...but it is all I hear about from the family.

Blue Streak at Conneaut lake Park.....I've wanted to ride that since I got into coasters. I'd also like to ride it with both sets of trains since the old Miller/Baker(?) trains are unique and I LOVE NAD Century Flyers.

The ride had to be taken down though, it wouldn't stop breaking down.

I'm kinda surprised it hasn't been mentioned, but the original Mister Twister at the old Elitch Gardens would be on my list...

The old Joker's Revenge coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. they moved it to New Orleans two years before Katrina... but they ALWAYS ran it backwards in San Antonio. It was a small, but GREAT ride

Hercules at Dorney. Not the late 2000s Herc, but the old late 80s/early 90s Hercules.
