I had a stroke of bad luck on this one. I'll explain as best as I could, and probably help speak or elaborate for a good amount of other people:
It's so disappointing that the only coaster I've personally got to ride during its opening season (2010) just happened to be one during its absolute worst phase (trims added/slowed down and neck-breaking OTSR. Any of this sound familiar?), then BACK to being better after I rode it (more comfortable strap harnesses, trims removed). What makes this even more of a perfect letdown is that the slowing down of the speed happened just before I rode it, AND the adding of the straps happened just after I rode it, NOT TO MENTION it running at full speed again. Even more - this COULD have been AND WOULD have been a notable coaster to ride on its opening season too, but what a letdown. Disappointments to no end - this coaster lost all its credibility that it's not even worth mentioning for this thread.
*COUGH* Intimidator 305 *COUGH*

2008 - Catwoman's Whip (rethemed from Poision Ivy's Tangled Train) at SFNE
2009- Bizarro (rethemed from Superman Ride of Steel) at SFNE.
2011 - it was going to be Green Lantern at SFGAdv, but now I'm probably not going. Therefore, probably none.

X:\WTF is also a possibility, but I can't remember. As is the original Flying Fish (although only a re-theme), but again, I can't remember for sure.

Raptor, Gardaland
Master Thai, Mirabilandia
Olandese Volante, Rainbow Magicland
Shock, Rainbow Magicland
Cagliostro, Rainbow Magicland
Casa dei Mostri, Rainbow Magicland
the wacky worm thing, Rainbow Magicland
Zooom, Flamingo Land
Oh, plus I'll probably end up doing the new one at Clarence Pier at some point.

The only one that comes to mind is Behemoth in Canada's Wonderland, Toronto.
It's basically like Goliath (a staple for most Six Flags parks, this particular one in Walibi Flevoland). I thought the overall ride was really smooth and since it was the highest one in the park, that was a bonus.
In terms of the height/speed/thrill, etc., I'd say Behemoth beats Goliath, but nothing beats a great ride set in a beautiful location. So Goliath gets brownie points for atmosphere.
