We had a really good time there the first visit in 2009 & again in 2010 until Snoo lost his wallet. I'm pretty sure we all thought LCoSM was really unique & quite fun (except perhaps Gavin)
I really liked Lost Coaster. I thought the park it was in was **** ing horrible though. It may have been that rude c**t on the entrance gate that put on a downer on things immediately, but I thought the place was a hole.

no one (except perhaps Gavin) could understand why I liked Legend so much.
I remember liking Legend at the time, but if you asked me about it now, I've got to be honest and say that I can't remember much about it. I can't remember Raven either. I think that's maybe down to riding soooooooo many coasters in such a short space of time; unless it stands out as exceptionally good or bad, or there's been plenty of re-rides, then a lot of coasters tend to merge into one for me now.
Onto the task at hand:
1. Boulder Dash - My favourite coaster, so clearly going to be at the top of my list.
2. Megafobia - Probably an unfair rating as I'm basing it off riding it in its opening year and I haven't been back since. I LOVED it at the time though, and that's all I've got to go on.
3. Tonnerre de Zeus - Maybe it's because I knew nothing about it, and you can't see most of it until you're riding, but I really liked this.
4. Cornball Express - It was good, but not great. It may have been a case of overhyping. Yes, there's some great airtime, but the coaster doesn't really flow very well.
5. Lost Coaster - Really fun and quirky ride. Too bad it kept breaking down and we only got to ride it once though. Still, I'm glad I got the chance.
6. Legend - as mentioned above, I remember liking it at the time, but couldn't tell you why now if you asked me.
7. Raven - As above really. I remember this being fun but very short.
8. Boss - This would probably be higher if I got to ride it again now. The only thing I really remember about it is feeling very, very ill from the night before and not wanting to be there. Unfair I know, but I remember nothing else about it.
9. Hoosier Hurricane - Meh, whatever. The location was nice, but the coaster itself was bland.
10. Stampida - I actually quite liked it, especially the first drops sitting in the back. Didn't do much after that. I have to say, I've been on a lot worse woodies.
11. Tomahawk - I was tempted to put this higher actually. For a kiddy coaster, it's nuts. It's here now though, so **** it.
Typing that out, I've realised just how good CCI coasters actually are. Even the ones at the bottom of the list I've quite liked. They're mostly all very different from each other as well. GCI may have the consistency, but CCI seem to have an unpredictability about them, for better or worse, that I actually really like.
