I don't count rides, I count memories. :)

I can list the parks I have been to, though:

Discovery Cove

SeaWorld Orlando

Universal Islands Of Adventure

Universal Studios Orlando

SeaWorld again

Kings Island more times than I care to count

Holiday World

Cedar Point more times than I care to count

DollyWood

Holiday World again

That is the order I visited this year with the exception of the multiple CP and KI trips throughout the year.

Kings Island: definitely rode all operating coasters and most flat rides at least once. Couldn't guesstimate the precise number on any of them except Invertigo and the Eiffel Tower, both of which I did once all year. (That's right, I said "operating" coasters... I know some of you wanted to jump in with "YOU DIDN'T RIDE Son of Beast HEHEHEHEH." Your plans have been foiled! :P )

Dollywood:

Wild Eagle twice. Tennessee Tornado once. Mystery Mine once. Thunderhead (probably) five times. Don't think I rode Blazing Fury this year, and I don't know the names of the flats. There's a possibility I'll be back before the end of the year.

Holiday World:

Probably rode Voyage something up into the teens. Rode Raven and Legend a handful of times, with more rides on Legend than Raven. (Ordinarily I'd ride Raven more than Legend, but Legend was running ridiculously well back in June.) All adult flats (excluding Revolution, Turkey Whirl, and the scrambler) got about two laps each. Rode basically everything but the racing slides and Mammoth in Splashin' Safari.

Six Flags Great Adventure:

One ride on all coasters besides Skull Mountain, which we rode twice, and both kiddie coasters. Missed all flats besides the top spin and the parachute drop, though I attempted to ride Houdini's Great Escape and had it break down on me.

Coney Island (NYC):

FINALLY rode the Cyclone. Didn't have a ton of money to reride, and also lacked the time for Luna Park. Someday...

Best "new" coasters of the year: El Toro, Cyclone, Batman: The Ride, Skull Mountain, Runaway Mine Train. In that order.

Top 5's went from something like...

Wood

  1. Voyage
  2. Thunderbolt
  3. Legend
  4. Raven
  5. Thunderhead

Steel

  1. Intimidator 305
  2. Storm Runner
  3. Magnum XL-200
  4. Millennium Force
  5. Great Bear

To something like

Wood

  1. Voyage
  2. El Toro (tied)
  3. Cyclone
  4. Legend
  5. Raven

Steel

  1. Intimidator 305
  2. Storm Runner
  3. Magnum XL-200
  4. Batman: The Ride
  5. Adventure Express

(In case you've seen previous "top coasters" lists from me and are now wondering: I have the most fluid taste in roller coasters ever. I generally like all of them, but there are moments where I miss some more than others. My "top coasters" is more like a "top coasters I miss at the moment.")

EDIT: Also, HTML is a jerk sometimes.
