Just thought it'd be interesting to cover all bases, as opposed to just top coasters etc.
Haven't seen any recent versions of this in a while, so it'd be interesting to see everyone's takes.

My picks are off the top of my head.

Favourite:
- Thrill coaster (with inversions): Helix (Liseberg)
- Thrill coaster (without inversions) Taron (Phantasialand)
- Indoor coaster: Psyke Underground (Walibi Belgium)
- Family coaster: Colorado Adventure (Phantasialand)
- Powered coaster: Arthur (Europa Park)
- Kiddie coaster: Blue Flyer (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)
- Flat ride: Loki (Liseberg)
- Observation ride: Pagoda (Efteling)
- Transportation ride/system: EP Express (Europa Park)
- Dark ride: Fata Morgana (Efteling) *Valhalla TBC
- Water ride: ACME Rapids (Parque Warner Madrid) *Valhalla TBC

So what are your favourite rides for each of the above categories?
