1. Magnum XL-200 (Cedar Point)
2. Orient Express (Worlds of Fun)
3. Millennium Force (Cedar Point)
4. Vortex (Kings Island)
5. Adventure Express (Kings Island)
6. Matterhorn Bobsleds (Disneyland)
7. Maverick (Cedar Point)
8. Raging Bull (Six Flags Great America)
9. Space Mountain (Disneyland)
10. Zambezi Zinger (Worlds of Fun)

The first six are not in any particular order, they are all amazing rides (while different for sure) and I could spend all day on each one. This list was compiled out of the 99 coasters I have ridden so far (Prowler will be 100, that could make it on the list, I also have Diamondback (quite possible) and Firehawk (not likely) to ride this summer, we'll see).

what's your guys TOP TEN favorite coasters?

Cory · « **Reply #6 on:** May 25, 2009, 09:45 »

4. Top Thrill Dragster

6. Titan
7a. Dueling Dragons (Ice)
7b. Dueling Dragons (Fire)

9b. Renegade (can't decide which GCI I like better quite yet)
10. Maverick

Honorable mention:
Shockwave (SFOT), Griffon, Apollo's Chariot, Magnum XL-200, Beast

I'm pretty sure this topic's been brought up before, but it's always fun to discuss.

xxmagicboxersxx · « **Reply #8 on:** May 26, 2009, 02:09 »

...I'm not sure I've been on more than 10 coasters.

At least, I don't remember all their names.

thanks back seat mod.

some people cannot rank their coasters into 10 due to how many they've ridden (526)

Ken12 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 26, 2009, 06:55 »

You can still rank them to ten. That is why its called ranking. Instead you try and puff your chest out. You're telling me you can't take the top few from each of your categories and put them in a list?

Any list that does not include Dragon at Adventureland is flawed anyway!

^LOL at you and Robby getting your butthurt over something so stupid.

I'm very glad to see that this threads getting posted in! I knew it'd bring some interesting top tens to the boards and that's the fun part getting to see who like what. I'm still amazed that out of the 20 some wooden coasters i've been on I like Timber Wolf as my favorite woodie!

Prowler182 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 27, 2009, 11:51 »

Also I forgot to mention earlier, feel free to re-post your top ten favorites if suddenly your top ten changes. I know mine most likely will when I ride Prowler next month!

Prowler182 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 1, 2009, 03:07 »

Well this thread has not been posted in for awhile but I'ma re-image my whole top ten next month after I ride Prowler at night during Mayhem ERT. Never rode it at Night and heard it was a phenomenal ride at night so I'm going to wait and see how Prowler holds out before I declare which spot Prowler holds in my top ten. So right now it's Prowler, Talon, and Manta going after my favorite coaster!

FAIL

Incidentally, I don't actually know how accurate my top ten is anymore, since I haven't ridden Maverick since right after it opened and I heard some negative things about it last week at Con. So Prowler might be #3. Not a problem with me.

Jason · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 2, 2009, 06:27 »

I just rode Maverick and I had to kick it out of my top 20. It's a karate chop to the throat.

Those ejector hills make it hard to hate the ride but once you get punched in the jugular it's hard to like it.

AyTrane · « **Reply #21 on:** Jul 4, 2009, 08:43 »

I'm glad someone shares my opinion on Maverick. It is just far too intense for me to enjoy it. I like the horseshoe roll, but the rest of the elements are taken too fast to enjoy them. It really feels faster each year I ride it, and I'm okay with not riding it again this year. On a positive note, Corkscrew is running very smooth this year! 33 years old and still taking care of business.

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 5, 2009, 09:28 »

Dustijn (Swoosh) Is always talking about how much he hates that ride. So your not the only 2.

Swoosh · « **Reply #23 on:** Jul 5, 2009, 02:51 »

Be careful not let Robby hear you talking smack about his favorite coaster... he'll flip out

Robby · « **Reply #24 on:** Jul 5, 2009, 04:10 »

MAVERICK ROX!!!!!!!1

AyTrane · « **Reply #25 on:** Jul 5, 2009, 09:25 »

I don't hate it, I just need to take a lot of painkillers before I ride. I do like your pun about flipping out.

CPman · « **Reply #26 on:** Jul 6, 2009, 09:11 »

I think a bad ride on Maverick is very dependent on your body style. I know My body style (overweight) I had a good ride, but my friend whom was much taller than me and lighter had a bad ride. i personally love the ride, but I can see how some may not, it really just depends on a body type I would assume, but Thats my opinion

caddesigner · « **Reply #27 on:** Jul 6, 2009, 09:34 »

I would agree with the body type aspect, I have a friend here at work who rode Prowler for the first time and she didnt like it to much because she felt due to her size and height (she is really short) that she was getting thrown around.

Jason · « **Reply #28 on:** Jul 6, 2009, 02:00 »

Body type is certainly a major contributor.

Swoosh is frail and lady like, which leads to his hate towards Voyage.
