On my recent trip to CP, KI, and HW I found Mean Streak to be more smooth then Voyage, Beast, and Racer. My favorite woodie of the trip was a toss up between Gemini, Blue Streak, and The Legend! You could put those in any order in my opinion. VOYAGE SUCKED! I could see where it might have been a great ride when it first opened, but how the mighty have fallen! Tear it Down! The first 2 drops were fun and the triple down in the tunnel was fun, but wow it was PAINFUL!

I've never found Mean Streak to be overly rough.  It's just a boring layout IMO.

I finally took a look at my coaster list and decided to put Texas Giant at #3 behind X2 and Voyage.

Now it's been a handful of years since I rode Voyage so that info is a bit dated.

Superman at Fiesta Texas was apparently my 300th.  I'm now at 305.

Raven was the best woodie on the ride, followed by Legend and the Beast and then maybe Woodstock's Express (Beastie)

Congrats.  I loved Superman when I rode it in 2008.  It has the longest zero-g of any coaster I have ever ridden. I thought it's zero-g roll was much better than Patriot's.
