Just found this topic, so thought it might be interesting to give this a go!
  • UK: Icon (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)
  • USA (Florida): Mako (SeaWorld Orlando)
That's the extent of my travels, unfortunately!

Also, I know I'm replying to a year-old post, but did you ride Megafobia at Oakwood @CanobieFan? As I've seen very few enthusiasts put Speed ahead of it.
 
^Glad you found it.
Been a long time.

Wales - Megafobia? Eww
 
I've always found it a bit weak. UK woodies set the bar very low for a comparison. (Get yourself on Mine Blower, don't take no for an answer).
It also just reminded me of my most recent experience (abridged):

Had a bit of a crap time at Oakwood, but some stories have to be told anyway.

Turned up bright and early before opening thinking this’ll be a breeze. Staff were arriving later than me and were confused by my presence. Sat it out until a few minutes prior, by which time a crowd of 20-30 people were ready to roll.

Had a completely free run of the place for the first hour and hit all of the smaller creds in this time.

Even though they were posted as also opening at 10 at the entrance, Speed and Megafobia did not open during this time.

So I sat on a bench for half an hour outside Megafobia and waited. By the time it had opened, a couple of hundred school children had rocked up to the park and after getting my first lap, the queue was instantly up to around an hour, with painfully slow one man operations, half the rows closed off cos they’re broken and 10 minute dispatches.

I’d been told this woodie was on its A game recently, but it was pretty much how I remembered it – meh.

Sucked up one more wait just to prove a point, then got annoyed and sunburnt and promptly left.

Highlight of the day – I broke Crocodile Coaster.

Ah right. Thanks @HeartlineCoaster; I'm secretly hoping that I can ride Mine Blower when I go to Florida in April, as it's near Disney and my parents told me to remind them of it when we're there! Also, everyone's said it's really good, which makes me want to check it out!

I suppose I also have very little experience of airtime outside of the UK (and no experience of woodies outside of the UK); the only coasters that I'd say had noticeable airtime I've ridden outside of the UK are Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra and Mako. Cheetah Hunt had some good moments of airtime, but I thought they felt a little weak and were hampered by those OTSRs. SheiKra had the floating airtime over the drops that you find on most Dive Coasters, which was great. Mako had considerably more airtime (and somewhat stronger airtime) than anything else I have currently ridden, which is a large part of what makes it my number 1 coaster.
 
I've only been to one country (the country I was born in), the United States so I'm going to do it by states. Carowinds is a special case since the address is in North Carolina, but some of the coasters are entirely located in South Carolina geographically, so I'm going to include the SC Carowinds coasters into NC.
