^Any particular reason your top 10s are identical to the 2011 Golden Tickets (minus EGF)?

Re: Top 10(ish): 2014 Edition

Aw heck - why not split out my top wood and top steel? (Numbering is where the roller coaster would appear in my overall rankings)

Steel:
2 Maverick
3 X2
4 Skyrush
7 Goliath (SFOG)
8 Millennium Force
9 Top Thrill Dragster
10 Iron Rattler
11 New Texas Giant
12 Diamondback
13 Storm Runner

Wood:
1 Ravine Flyer II
5 Outlaw Run
6 Thunderhead
16 Apocalypse the Ride
19 American Thunder
20 The Beast
25 Lightning Racer
35 Boardwalk Bullet
36 Prowler
58 Colossus (SFMM)

My wooden coaster listing is probably the more robust.

After visiting Drievliet:

1. Helix (Liseberg)
2. Silver Star (Europa Park)
3. Expedition GeForce (Holiday Park)
4. Black Mamba (Phantasialand)
5. Blue Fire (Europa Park)
6. Joris en de Draak (Efteling)
7. Goliath (Walibi Holland)
8. Troy (Toverland)
9. Balder (Liseberg)
10. Twister (Gröna Lund)
11. Wodan (Europa Park)
12. Colorado Adventure (Phantasialand)
13. Lisebergbanan (Liseberg)
14. Jetline (Gröna Lund)
15. Winja’s Fear & Force (Phantasialand)
16. Eurosat (Europa Park)
17. Sky Scream (Holiday Park)
18. Vliegende Hollander (Efteling)
19. Vogel Rok (Efteling)
20. Formule X (Drievliet)
21. Euro Mir (Europa Park)
22. Xpress (Walibi Holland)
23. Kanonen (Liseberg)
24. Dwervelwind (Toverland)
25. Pegasus (Europa Park)

The other 3 creds rank pretty low, though I still enjoyed them.

Formule X is a really nice little coaster, with comfy lap bars, some nice pops of airtime and hangtime that I actually enjoyed (kind of like Blue Fire/Helix's hangtime). My only big complaint is that it's way too short. A longer, faster and bigger version could actually be top 10 material to me. It was my #50 as well :--D

Re: Top 10(ish): 2014 Edition

After my northern creed trip, I have finally got enough creds to get a top 20!

1. Megafobia - This woodie is fantastic. It's got a ton of airtime, laterals, and is relatively smooth. The layout is really rather long, and it's 100% fun from start to end.
2. The Grand National - Another fab woodie! It's arguably got more airtime than Megafobia, and it's pretty much perfect! Unfortunately it's very rough at times, and it's layout isn't as verier as Megafobia. But it's still one of the best rides I have ever ridden.
3. Oblivion - It's certainly the best steel coaster I have ridden. The drop is just intense. I love the shot of adrenaline you get, and the tension built up before the drop is amazing!
4. Stealth - The layout is crap, but the launch is incredibly powerful, and just brilliant.
5. Swarm - I love this ride, the layout is just pure fun, it's not forceful, but it's nice and floaty and the drop is really good fun!
6. Wild Mouse (BPB - Wow! This ride is just insane! The lateral and negative forces are just ridiculous, and the lack of restraints make it just amazing fun! Certainly not your normal wild mouse!
7. Revolution - I love this ride, it's incredibly reridable and rather forceful with great negatives and positives.
8. The Smiler - It's a fun, long layout, with a great mix of inversions and two fairly good moments of negative g's.
9. Nemesis - An amazing ride when it performs well, though recently it's provided some really disappointing rides and has fallen down my top ten because of it.
10. The Big One - The ride is great fun, but has zero force. The speed and the drops are fun though.
11. Shockwave (DMP)
12. Nemesis Inferno
13. Saw: The Ride
14. The Big Dipper
15. Dragons Fury
16. Speed No Limits
17. Velocity
18. Avalanche
19. Mumbo Jumbo
20. Air

Yes. I left my computer on, and while I was gone, my brother must have seen an opportunity to mess around. He tried his own top ten on my account, and ended up just copying off of the Golden Tickets. Just saw this post now. My bad.

Re: Top 10(ish): 2014 Edition

I've had a full rearrange of my top 10. Since 2007 (when my list consisted only of rides at Lightwater Valley, Flamingo Land and Blackpool) I've been adding rides into an existing list and bumping existing rides down. By the beginning of this year, I'd ended up with a top 10 that looked something like this:

1. Boulder Dash
2. El Toro
3. Colossos
4. Katun
5. Phoenix
6. Nemesis
7. Superman Ride of Steel SFNE
8. Expedition GeForce
9. Silver Star
10. Rita/Desert Race

Although the actual rides were probably right, the ordering definitely didn't match up with how I rank them now (plus Helix needed adding to the list, and Rita is getting a bit rattly as it ages). I've had a sit down this afternoon, and re-arranged my list from scratch. My top 10 now looks like this:

1. Boulder Dash
2. El Toro
3. Helix
4. Expedition GeForce
5. Katun
6. Colossos
7. Phoenix
8. Nemesis
9. Superman Ride of Steel SFNE
10. Silver Star

It's quite depressing to see I'm down to one UK coaster in my top 10.
