maverick is probably the 2nd most unique coaster i have ever been on. its in my top 10 coasters.
the most insane and unique coaster i have been on is X2. Definately worth the 2 hour wait.

Some of mine are Phoenix, The Beast, Coney Island Cyclone, Millennium Force, Maverick, Magnum and TTD...I also LOVED Firehawk (it was my 100th about a month ago and I got a 65 dollar air painted t-shirt with my name and 100th coaster with July 26th 2008...and the guy actually painted the firehawk logo on the back and it looks insane)...I am also very fond of Volcano and King's Dominion.

Phantom's Revenge will always be a favorite, but Top Thrill Dragster made me think again.... that was the most amazing launch ever, and the vertical drop is outstanding. Great Bear, and Incredible Hulk are in there too

Expedition Everest, hands down.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

1.Nemesis
2.Oblivion
3.Colossus (Thorpe Park)
4.Corkscrew (Really!)

Im sure the list will change sooner or later!
By the way, I really do like Corkscrew, dont ask me why![:D]

1. Superman ROS- it wins, its so worth the trip there. Why dont any of
you decide to go when your up at CP or something.

2. Boulder dash- very compareable to superman

3. Alpengeist- that cobra-roll is indescribable. Just watch the video on
c-net of it. Its in the download extras. Plus it was my
first big looping coaster. I rode it first in 3rd grade
(i cheated an inch on height) they still let me on.

4. Apollos chariot- Im a sucker for the the first drop in the back.
same with superman though.

Dominator- its tied. Awsome in the back because of the first drop and
drop out of the mid-brake rode it at KD on vacation.
(BTW, has no line at night, everyone was at volcano. I was
offered to stay on)

5. Kumba- i just remember going on it like 5 times in 4rd grade. Its just
classic b&m design. I loved it. And yes the end of 4rd grade.

agreed with alton there

nothing will ever compare or give the feeling of nemesis, its still the pure-ness of what a steal terrain coaster should be all about and is by far the best
Making screams come true
