Well it's been a year and 1 day since I last posted this list. I may be a bit too hasty on this considering that I have two more trips coming up in the very near future, but I think I'm in need of an update.

Lots of coasters have suffered due to my big cred injection, but some (like Kondaa) have really benefitted from re-rides! Shambhala suffered the most due to a real lacklustre performance in October last year. Really hope that it manages to redeem itself at some point in the future!

And after a first time trip to Phantasialand...

1. Iron Gwazi
2. Taron - This just clicked with me so much more than VC! Whipping through the whole area of Klugheim was fantastic. The launches, the airtime, the intensity and whips. Yeah, I absolutely love this thing 😍 Especially in front row!
3. Velocicoaster
4. F.L.Y - Did not expect to like this more than several of the coaster below it, but it was truly one of the best coaster experiences I've had and I honestly couldn't find any faults with it. From the queue line, station, flying around Rookburgh and getting airtime in the laying down position...truly a masterpiece, especially in front row again!
5. Untamed
6. Mako
7. Shambhala
8. Red Force
9. Black Mamba - Super intense and had a good length to it like Montu. Does the terrain hugging layout better than Nemesis. Awesome dispatch and theming. This coaster certainly takes the best parts of Nemesis and Montu and combines them into one with some extra Phantasialand charm. Awesome coaster!
10. The Incredible Hulk

1 - Steel Vengeance
2 - Zadra
3 - Lightning Rod (V1)
4 - Skyrush
5 - Taron
6 - El Toro
7 - Storm Chaser (KK)
8 - Helix
9 - Outlaw Run
10 - Fury 325

11 - Renegade
12 - The Voyage
13 - Flying Aces
14 - Wildfire (Kolmarden)
15 - Phoenix
16 - Toutatis
17 - Maverick
18 - Formula Rossa
19 - Expedition GeForce
20 - Afterburn

Toutatis is a great coaster, only managed to get 2 rides in but they were both excellent, back row is the place to be. There are a few moments that didn't quite hit the spot for me personally, but I would like to get some more rides in, it has the potential to go higher following more rides later in the evening but I can't see it dislodging anything in my top 10.
Also moved Afterburn in place of Nemesis after riding Oz Iris, which is also an excellent coaster, probably my 3rd fave, all hovering around the same ranking.

1) Ride to Happiness
2) Helix
3) Kondaa
4) Taron
5) Untamed
6) Joris en de Draak
5) Wodan
6) Nemesis
7) Goliath
8) Shambhala
9) Red Force
10) Silver Star

Lucky enough to goto Belgium last week. Kondaa has some great ejector moments and the first drop is one of the best I've been on. Nice themed section overall a great ride and managed to just edge out Taron.

Ride to happiness is just bonkers! The airtime court me a bit by suprise and the sensation of going through those elements in all different angles is nuts. You can get better rides on it than others, however even a "bad" ride on it is still great and if you get a particularly crazy ride on it, it's next level. Had 11 rides on it and my wife and I really enjoyed them all however the second to last ride we rode front row which he had several times previous but this one particular ride, whether that be due to warming up, the correct balanced train or pure luck it was absolutely sensational and by far the best coaster experience I've ever had! Here's hoping we see more of these popping up around the world soon.

It's always interesting seeing people who like experiences that are not always extreme airtime focused in comparison to myself whos an airtime devotee. While I've been on a few of your top rides (not been to Asia yet), some of your favorites are low for me. Helix, for example, isn't even in my Top 30 but my #2 VC is 25 for you.
Different strokes for different folks. Gotta love it.

Is VelociCoaster an airtime-focused ride, then? I’m riding it for the first time in 3 weeks, so I’ll see its airtime credentials first hand then, but it never strikes me as being hugely airtime-focused from POVs. Or at least, not airtime-focused in the same way as, say, an RMC.

Don’t get me wrong, I imagine it has plenty of airtime, but I would never have guessed it was a massively airtime-focused ride. Whenever you hear people talk about it, they always talk more about the speed, the wide variety of elements, and the inversions (like the mosasaurus roll and zero-g stall).

Agreed, it's why we're here!
I wouldn't say I'm not an airtime devotee, but it's all about how it's presented in the package of a layout for me.
Also interesting that you cite Veloci as the counter example, when I wouldn't consider that an overly airtime focused ride either. (oh look, @Matt N beat me to it!):D

Moso roll at night may be one of my favorite airtime moments ever. That makes the ride what it is.
