Interesting that you put Goliath and Renegade so high. What is it about Goliath that could possibly put it over Wildfire, Boulder Dash, Fury, and Wicked Cyclone?
I think the only coaster I have truly disliked, and wanted to have the ride over with, was Mean Streak. Just a very painful, boring, and long ride.
Kiddie Coasters aren't thrilling but I wouldn't say I dislike them.

I don't think you can judge how much of an enthusiast someone is purely based off of number of credits. Certain people have more money and more opportunities to travel and get credits. Someone with 100 credits may be more of an enthusiast than someone with 200 credits who simply has an easier...
Gotta go with Helix, Nemesis, and DC Rivals here.
Helix looks amazing on the hillside and seems to sprawl across so much of the park. Also, it looks even better at night. I love the monochromatic color scheme and the different shades of green work perfectly in the wooded environment.
Nemesis...
I've always really liked the sound tracks in the queues of Maverick and Boulder Dash.

First off, Skyrush's drop is much better than any other that I've experienced, and I do think Toro's drop is better than STR's but not by THAT much. As for Millie's drop, it just wasn't strong enough air to be even close to as good as STR's. And even on the last hill of Millie there's not really...
I suppose, but just because it was meant to be a tall, fast, statement of a ride doesn't mean it gets a pass for lacking intensity. I feel that a ride needs intensity to be an upper tier, world class ride.
Roller coasters are an art form if you see them that way, it's all about your outlook. Sure, parks do make rides to get money, but there's more to it than just money.
I don't know what ride you were on... The two hills right before the S Shields deliver TOP NOTCH sustained, ejector airtime right up there with El Toro in my opinion. Then the spaghetti bowl has a couple great ejector pops and the last couple bunny hops have great air as well.
As for the rides...
