Pretty much everyone's top 10's are full of airtime machines, so taking away everything that doesn't invert how does your top 10 shape up?

Mine looks a little like this...

1. Dragon Khan
2. Nemesis
3. Kraken
4. Shockwave (DMP)
5. Furius Baco
6. Blue Fire
7. The Swarm
8. Jubilee Odyssey
9. Kumali
10. Nemesis Inferno
 
1. Maverick
2. X2
3. Outlaw Run
4. Iron Rattler
5. Storm Runner
6. Tatsu
7. Incredible Hulk
8. Raptor
9. Great Bear
10. Patriot
 
1. Kumba - Easilly the best inverting coaster I've ridden. I'm not normally a huge fan of overly-forceful rides, but Kumba was just incredible and enjoyable all the way around.

2. Alpengeist
3. Black Mamba
4. SheiKra
5. Anubis

And then it gets a bit blurred, with many rides interchangeable in their positioning.

6. Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket
7. Talon
8. Cheetah Hunt
9. Nemesis
10. California Screamin'
 
1. Gatekeeper
2. Wild Eagle
3. Maverick
4. Incredible Hulk
5. Fahrenheit
6. Talon
7. Mystery Mine
8. Hydra
9. Storm Runner
10. Sky Rocket
 
1. Outlaw Run (2)
2. X-Flight (12)
3. Maverick (13)
4. blue fire Megacoaster (15)
5. X2 (16)
6. Nemesis (17)
7. Tatsu (18)
8. Iron Rattler (23)
9. Furious Baco (25)
10. Karacho (32)

Since I haven't ridden any good Mega coasters or fabulous woodies, this list looks quite similar to my overall top10.

1. X2, SFMM
2. Katun, Mirabilandia
3. Nemesis, Alton Towers
4. iSpeed, Mirabilandia
5. Tatsu, SFMM
6. Blue Fire, Europa Park
7. Kumba, Busch Gardens Tampa
8. Air, Alton Towers
9. Raptor, Gardaland
10. Revolution, PBB
 
1. Kumba- BGT
2. Batman: the Ride- SFGAdv
3. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit- USF(if it counts as inverting)
4. Sheikra- BGT
5. Hulk- IoA
6. Montu- BGT
7. Afterburn- Carowinds
8. Maverick- Cedar Point
9. Bizarro- SFGAdv
10. Raptor- Cedar Point

Obviously these are subject to change, but everything up to Montu is pretty accurate. Afterburn and Maverick may switch, same goes to Bizarro and Raptor.
 
1. Medusa, SFDK
2. Bizarro, SFGA
3. Dragon Challenge, Universal Island of Adventure
4. Rock n Roller Coaster, Disney's Hollywood Studios
5. Every Batman Clone
6. Superman: Ultimate Flight, SFGA
7. Cobra, SFLR
8. Super Menage, SFLR
9. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Universal Studios
10. L'Ednor, SFLR (yes an SLC, but ITS OVER WATER!)
 
Come to think of it, I don't know if I've even ridden ten inverting coasters.

1. Outlaw Run
2. X-Flight
3. Wildfire
4. Batman: The Ride
5. Superman: Ultimate Flight
6. Demon

Uh, something like this? So many B&M's

1 Nemesis - Alton Towers
2 Dragon Khan - PortAventura
3 Kumba - Busch Gardens Tampa
4 Outlaw Run - Silver Dollar City
5 Mind Bender - Six Flags Over Georgia
6 Tatsu - Six Flags Magic Mountain
7 Superman Krypton Coaster - Six Flags Fiesta Texas
8 Superman / la Atracción de Acero - Parque Warner Madrid
9 SheiKra - Busch Gardens Tampa
10 Storm Runner - Hersheypark

Also worth mentioning in no real order
Speed: No Limits - Oakwood Theme Park
Dragon - Adventureland (Iowa)
Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast - Six Flags St. Louis
Manhattan Express - New York, New York Hotel & Casino
and while no longer operation....
Batman And Robin: The Chiller - Six Flags Great Adventure (also likely my favorite inversion!)
 
1) Black Mamba
2) Katun
3) Flight of Fear
4) iSpeed
5) Fluch von Novgorod
6) Fahrenheit
7) Krake
8) Blue Fire
9) Griffon
10) Insane

And those where found among my 27 highest ranking coasters, ie a majority of non-inverting rides in my top list. But there are still quite a few really great inverting rides too!
 
Surprised that once I got past my top 5, I was really scraping the barrel (roll) to find 10 inverting coasters that I like

1. Oz'Iris
2. Saw
3. Nemesis
4. Black Mamba
5. Montu
6. Space Mountain Mission 2
8. Lynet
9. Swarm ( I don't even like it that much anymore, but the zero-G is nice)
10. The Smiler (just because there was this one -now mythical- time, when I went on it, sat at the front and it didn't totally suck)
 
1. Gatekeeper - Cedar Point
2. X-Flight - SFGAm
3. Bizaro - SFGAdv
4. Batman the Ride - Various
5. Rock n' Roller Coaster - MGM Studios
6. Maverick - Cedar Point
7. Raptor - Cedar Point
8. Superman - Ultimate Flight - SFGAm
9. Ninja - SFStl
10. Demon - SFGAm
