MY TOP TEN ROLLER COASTERS

MY TOP TEN ROLLER COASTERS

I have compiled three lists, one including both wooden and steel coasters, and two separate lists for my favorite wooden and steel coasters.  I feel certain that Ravine Flyer II  would be on one of my lists if I ever got the opportunity to ride it.

TOP TEN ROLLER COASTERS OVERALL

1. El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure
2. Outlaw Run - Silver Dollar City
3. Leviathan - Canada's Wonderland
4.. Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion
5.  Millennium Force - Cedar Point
6.  Boulder Dash - Lake Compounce
7. Bizarro - Six Flags New England
8 Nitro - Six Flags Great Adventure
9. Skyrush - Hersheypark
10. Apollo's Chariot - Busch Gardens, Williamsburg



TOP TEN WOODEN COASTERS

1. El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure - exceptional for both design and ride experience, with extreme         ejector and floater airtime
2.  Outlaw Run - Silver Dollar City - this is so good that I had a hard time deciding between Outlaw Run and     El Toro;  the first drop on Outlaw Run is even steeper than that on El Toro and the barrel roll is awesome 3. Boulder Dash - Lake Compounace I rate this higher than The Voyage not only because of the extreme, relentless airtime but because I  found it to be more fun to ride
4. Goliath - Six Flags Great America - an amazing, record-breaking ride with a dive loop and zero-g stall
5. The Voyage - Holiday World - superior for size, speed, scenery, overbanked turns and ride length
6. Shivering Timbers - Michigan's Adventure - notable for number of consecutive drops, ejector airtime and double helix
7. Thunderhead - Dollywood - great ride with overbanked turns and station fly-through
8. The Beast - Kings Island - wild ride through the woods and in the dark
9. Phoenix - Knoebels - extreme airtime, hold on
10. Coney Island Cyclone - Brooklyn - an oldie but goodie with plenty of thrills



TOP TEN STEEL COASTERS

1. Leviathan - fast, smooth, furious and fun with numerous elements; also beautiful to behold
2. Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion - notable for phenomenal first drop,  numerous twists in track and extreme intensity
3. Millennium Force - - Cedar Point - high marks for scenery, diversity and overall ride experience
4.  Bizarro - Six Flags New England - commendable for fabulous first drop, overbanked turns and special          effects
5. Nitro - Six Flags Great Adventure - outstanding for number of drops, hammerhead turn and helix
6. Skyrush - Hersheypark - the most intense steel coaster I have thus far ridden
7. Apollo's Chariot - Busch Gardens Williamsburg - great ride with some nice turns and scenery
8. Maverick - Cedar Point - a wild and crazy ride like no other
9. Storm Runner - Hersheypark - intense launch coaster with steep drop and cool inversions
10.Talon - Dorney Park - great inverted coaster that will make you feel as if you are flying.  Seriously underrated.
