Favourite coaster drop?

OK so this does not have to involve your favorite ride. My favorite coaster drop was actually Knigtmare's 2nd drop at Camelot (now defunct and abandoned). Wasn't a great ride but I thought the 2nd drop was very powerful and gave great air time. Love the steep twist and steep bank.

Skyrush's first drop is my fave. Others I love are MF, EGF, El Toro and Fury.
Weirdly I'm not a massive fan of RMC's first drops, they have airtime but are over quickly and all feel too samey.

There's only one answer for me: Lost Gravity's first drop. Can't think of any other ride where I'm involuntarily yelping after three rides. It's like the ground just falls out beneath the train

Shambhala. EGF's first drop desapointed me. I think I like drops to be a straight fall with substained airtime. Feels like you just jumped down from the lift hill and wait for the crash.

Millennium Force, Lost Gravity, Leviathan, Valravn (it feels like it's never going to end) and OzIris are amongst my favourites.

MF first drop was great, but I rode it in a thunderstorm so didn't really have time to process. El loco coaster first drop can be fun.

Raging Bull's first drop in the back row, The Raven's 5th drop, TTD's drop, and Outlaw Run's first drop to name a few of my favorites!

Skyrush, Millennium Force, Maverick in the back row, and Mako. Maverick's drop in the back row actually caught me by surprise by how crazier it is compared to front row. MF and Mako are great too because they seem to last a while. Skyrush's is shorter, but it's insane.

TTD is good also. I found the first drop on Griffon to be smooth and great floater air time. I'm not much of a fan of dive drops tbh.

X2 is fantastic. The transition from ascending the lift backwards to rotate face down a 200ft. drop is enough to make anyone question God.

X2. It's unreal.

Also, Millennium Force, Shambhala, and Iron Rattler are all fantastic and well worth mentioning.
