Not sure if this has been done on here before, but I think it will be fun for everyone to share their oppinion.

Here goes mine:

1) Diamondback

2) The Beast

3) Flight Deck

4) Vortex

5) Adventure Express

6) Invertigo Surf Dog

7) Flight of Fear

8) Racer

9) Woodstock Express

10) Flying Ace Ariel Chase

11) Firehawk

12) The Great Pumpkin Coaster

Notes:

DB and The Beast are in a league of their own, hence the space between them and the others.

Invertigo would be ranked higher if it was actually unique or had a higher capacity.

I'm not sure if Surf Dog is a coaster.

13) Back Lot Stun Coaster

Heh, I'll bite...

#1-The Beast
#2-Diamondback
#3-Flight of Fear

#4-Vortex
#5-Flight Deck
#6-Racer

#7-Adventure Express

#8-Backlot Stunt Coaster
#9-Firehawk
#10-Invertigo

I have also been on Woodstock Express and Great Pumpkin Coaster, but they are kiddie coasters and I haven't ridden them in quite some time, so for fairness...I'm leaving them off here.

In reply to The Beast conversation: I used to ride Beast expecting thrills, but I now approach it with the attitude of watching a 70's action movie. Jdawg is right--there are no real G's, save for the laterals just after the first drop and a few turns leading to the second lift. But that's entirely the thing with Beast. It's a strong start, then a bunch of straightaways and wide turns. The turns gradually increase in intensity, speed, and forces--and then they drop off the map entirely when you hit the second lift. It's about lulling you into a sense of security, then shattering it with the most intense portion of the ride. It's not the typical B&M progression of most to least intense elements during the ride, and that's a good thing--in my opinion, anyway.

Beast is one of the few rides in the world that manages to theme itself without relying on props or a gimmick, and I think that's why it's as famous as it is.

-Great Pumpkin isn't included because it's a kiddie coaster that I haven't ridden in years. Also, I do not consider Surf Dog a roller coaster.

That's interesting. Would it be safe to assume that you don't particularly care for Invertigo? Or am I reading between the lines too much? ;)

I'm more of an airtime/inversions guy.

Beast goes up to a 2 with night rides but during the day its highly overrated.

Well said my friend, well said.
