lol TConwell, Seriously G-Force why make these polls? Half the questions you ask involve like 20 coasters, just leave it as a topic. I voted for Dueling Dragons anyway.

Kraken, I mean, dude, look at the thing. Thats my sort of ride, a massive amount of inversions and very twisted and relatively compact

Well, I haven't ridden the Dania Beach Hurricane, but I would expect that would be the best of the bunch...

But, out of the ones I have been on (which is the rest of them), I'd take Kumba probably. It is one of the most intense B&Ms I've ridden.

Kumba is fairly intense, though, DD:Fire is even more intense. Its the only Steel coasters in my top 4, maybe top 5, after I revise it :)

I wasn't impressed. Sure it was intense, but not as much, IMO, as B:TR or Raptor, which are probably my favorite B&M's...DD just gave a bit of headbanging and a rather fun but not phenomenal ride. When I was there, I only rode it twice, compared with the 8 or so times I did Hulk, to put those two IoA rides into perspective.

I love Raptor (yes I know its not in Florida) that last helix must pull 4-4.5+ verts. My favorite in Florida would have to be RRC.

I also heard that Kraken has some floater air on it, so Kraken gets my vote.

Dueling Dragons Ice, as opposed to most who prefer fire over ice I love ice, and mainly for one reason. The cobra roll on ice is absolutely insane, the pacing of it and the high g's on entry are beatiful IMO, and I just found that Ice was more intense overall, though Fires first drop to Immelman is extremely fun and intense.

i agree, ice was the better of the two. not only did it have a better queue, but it's layout was more fun and yes, the cobra roll was amazing!

Kraken all the way! The thing has air time, is smooth and the loops and twists are wicked! Plus, it was my first coaster that I went one.
My second place is tied between the hulk and the Dualing Dragons. Well, it probably leans more towards the Hulk but, oh well.
