Wicked Twister.My old favorite coaster was Millennium Force,but when I rode Wicked Twister for the first time on the 24th of August Wicked Twister became my favorite coaster.If you ride Wicked Twister do it in the back seat.
The reason why I like Wicked Twister is because its different then all other coasters & its so fun getting screwed up the back spike.

Raging Bull or Kumba

Since they are 2 totally different types of rides, they are both at the top of my list. Raging Bull because of it's awesome layout and great pacing and airtime. Kumba because of it's size, variety of inversions and smoothness.

From what I've been on.. Superman at WBMW Madrid, Werewolf (SFB's Vekoma-woodie) or Heide-Park's Colossus. Can't really decide.. Woodies over Steel.

(This is my response to a similar thred at theme park critic)

I cant decide what my favorie coaster is. I have a number one wood and a number one steel, I cant decide wich is better, even though I like wood in general better, it dosent mean that I dont have a steel that I like just as much. Saying that, this is my favorite woodie.

The Comet (HersheyPark)
This ride is a classic, from its skid brakes to its incredible single lap bar. It does have its blemishes, though. It has a trim brake on its second turn and a seat divider... Other then those things, Its hard to forget its high points. It dosent have station drive wheels, just the station is slanted downward in a way that when they dispatch, all they do is let gravity take it to the lifthill. Ascending at a decent pace, you have a view of the far leg to your right and the modern Great Bear to the left. But all of that is forgotten as you get yanked down the incredible first drop. I had two inches between my lap and the bar on the lift; on the drop I had two inches from me to my seat. It then flys at a very nice speed alont the rest of the layout. On the far leg, you fly behind the entrance shops and next to overhanging trees. This coaster is an incredible experence.

Top steel
Incredible Hulk (Islands of Adventure)

This ride is not over rated. It has a incredible layout. It has intense speed. It has awesome theaming. It has a awesome launch. What else can you ask for? You enter Dr. Bruce Banners lab and instantly can hear the incredible story over the incredible sound system. The que has incredible theaming, it weves around futuristic equipment and circles around a partical accelerater thingy... The que then goes up. higher and higher untill you are in a room with Tetris control boards and advisory videos. These are the best warning videos for any coaster ever. You get in your extremly comfy B&M traind and move out of the station. Dr. Banner says "Everything looks good. I think... I think this time its... Going to work!" Then an automated voice comes up saying cooling levels are droping... Fear turns to anger; anget turns to hate; hate leads to... Him. Launching out 110 ft in the air, you imediatly do a in line twist followd by a boomerang over the water. Then a loop, helix,corkscrew, loop--the most intense part of the ride-- and a series of fun twists before the MCBR. A little pop of air greets you as you drop for the corkscrew, then you do a series of fun small turns, then, sadly, its over.
