I feel like there's been a thread like this before but I couldn't find it, so here goes..
When you talk about your 'top 10s', or your top ride or whatever, how exactly do you rank things? Is your top 10 your 'favourite' rides, or what you think are the 'best' rides you've done? Do you even have a distinction - are your favourite rides naturally the best rides you've been on?
To give an example to this, recently I've realised that Th13teen at Towers is my favourite ride. I just love the damn thing so much, and find it so re-rideable. Before, it used to be Nemesis. Now, if we're being purely critical, I think it's easy to say that Nemesis is, by far, a "better" ride than Th13teen, and I will still happily agree and acknowledge that. But still, I prefer Th13teen; I favour it more if you will.
I guess some could say 'Isn't that what a guilty pleasure is?'. And maybe that's what it is. But at the same time, I don't feel 'guilty' over preferring Th13teen - it is simply more enjoyable for me.
Do you do things like this, especially when it comes to your Top 10 for example? Is your Top 10 made up of the best 10 coasters you've ride rode? Or is it your favourites?
