USA-
Connecticut: Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce
Delaware: Blue Diamond Streak at Blue Diamond Park (Defunct)

ME- Excalibur, Funtown USA
MA- Bizarro
NV- El Loco
NJ- El Toro
NY- Jack Rabbit, Seabreeze
NC/SC- Intimidator, Carowinds (Intimidator definitely sits completely on the South Carolina side, so I guess I'd pick Vortex for North Carolina judging on Google Maps. I'm sure Fury 325 (which travels in both states) would be my pick for both states, but I haven't ridden it yet.)
OH- Millennium Force
OR- Ice Mountain Bobsled, Enchanted Forest
PA- Skyrush... Phoenix... Can't decide...
TN- Thunderhead
VA- Intimidator 305

I will be traveling to Canada, Washington and Idaho in a few weeks, so I can knock a few more states off my list and get my 300th!

That re-evaluation may involve you realizing it's not there ;) . I'm guessing that was just a typo lol

Oziris is a fun ride, but as most of the newer B&M's do for me: It lacks rough intensity.
Tonnerre de zeus is awesome, but it feels a bit more trimmed out than it used to be.
Goudurix is still untrimmed, full fledged intensity from first drop to stop.
The rest in France does not matter as most of them are just fun rides.

You're too pale and pasty to have taken a vacation to Hawaii.... Though it's plausible.

Canada: Behemoth or Leviathan idk
California: Flight Deck (I haven't been since 2000 and honestly nothing at SFMM at the time was better than this)
Florida: Kumba
Georgia: Goliath (Mind Bender is so good though, and almost 40, what even?)
Missouri: Outlaw Run
New Jersey: Nitro
North Carolina: Fury 325
Ohio: Maverick
South Carolina: Afterburn? Intimidator? I'm not good at this.
Texas: New Texas Giant

Also who are you if you're going to pick TTD over Maverick? TTD03 notwithstanding, lol. Dragster is a peerless experience, it really is, but it's also so incredibly brief that I cannot justify a position on my Top 10.

I actually love that coaster too! 2 Goudurix fans here now! That has got a really big potential to be a neat ride if skilled NL2 builders start retracking in details and use their cutting-edge methods!

:) :) :) :) :)

None, because there are no coasters that pass thru every state.
