Are you asking for the top 10 coasters we would like to ride but haven't done so yet, or the top 10 coasters that we've been on or heard about that you recommend to others as a MUST ride?

No offense to anyone who has Aftershock on there list and is planning a trip there.

But really? I mean, why go all the way up there...spend all the money and only get like 4 credits. When you can go to SFMM ride dejavu and get all the other sounding credits. It like going all the way to Great Escape and riding out old Rolling Thunder and that's it.

Like Im doing Silverwood next year but it will be a 2 week trip from SoCal all the way up to Idaho and back..hitting all the credits on the way back :D

I would never take a trip there just to do that, in fact that might be on my 2 to 3 week future roller coaster road trip with my friend, hitting as many parks that we can it that time.

Most of these are rides I rode before, but aren't around here so I would want to ride them definitely again:

These are coasters:
Screamin' Eagle
Deja Vu
Mr. Freeze
Spongebob Euro Fighter or Dollywoods
La Vibora
Invertigo
Space Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Georgia Cyclone
X2 (It's not the music. I like the ride before the music, and special effects.)

There are so many carnival rides that I have never been on, that I would like to go on though. So, I would like to say those:

KMG Tango
Mondial Heart Breaker
Mondial Fighter
Tivoli Remix
Tivoli Scorpion
Chance Sky Wheel
Chance Toboggan
Chance Sky Diver
Moser Extasy
Explorer

Plus More:

Wisdom Storm
Venture Cobra
Eyerly Rock-O-Plane
Zamperla Nitro (Not really, because there are so many other great rides like this; Street Fighter, Freak Out, Revolution 32, Afterburner)
The "real" Santa Clause is St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas had a wealthy family, and his parents died. He gave of what he had because God said to, to poor children. He gave gifts to them. The tradition continues today. The Americanized Santa Claus is basically so people that don't believe in saints or God at all can participate.

^I hit up a lot of those rides at state fairs.

Wisconsin State fair had a GREAT collection in 02-03...too bad they have a cheap and small company come now :(

The KMG Tango is really cool and restrains are the ultimate in freedom...at night, it honestly feels like you are just floating around space because the forces are so equaled.

Also the Mondial Fighter look really messed up, crazy, but good :D

Is the KMG Tango at the WSF? I wanted to go this year, but I was in Great Adventure instead... not a baaaad trade off...

oh wait, I have also always wanted to ride a shuttle loop, vekoma slc, and a suspended roller coaster. And to those who want to ride Sheikra. DO IT. I took a trip out to tampa bay JUST to go to BGA, and IOA.

Both amazing parks.

And SheiKra is still the best roller coaster I have ridden. It actually made me scream like a little girl. I was about to cry on the brake hold thing before the drop. And I was front center. It was amazing though.

I couldn't really figure out 10 in order, but I'll try haha.

1. X2
2. Tatsu
3. Scream
4. Dueling Dragons
5. Maverick
6. Kraken
7. Sheikra/Griffon
8. Hulk
9. Superman Krypton Coaster
10. Kingda Ka

Best I could do. 11 would be El Toro. :wink:

Scream is kind of up there because I recently had a dream that we went to SFMM and started out by riding Scream... and it was just purely amazing.

No it wasn't. The main thrill rides were the KMG Spin Out, Technical Park Street Fighter, Tivoli Orbiter (It's the boring version though in my opinion.), Wisdom Himilaya, Fabbri Drop Tower, Wisdom Viper (Not really a thrill ride though), Zamperla Shocker, Fabbri Kamikaze, and the Chance Zipper.

The really bad thing is that they are trying to sell a lot of these flats. Almost all these flats on this page are from this carnival. Someone said that Wisconsin wants to shut down the state fair grounds. It's not looking good. Also, you have Murphy Brothers trying to go to Kansas with Wild West World thing. http://www.irmpri.com/product.htm

^Not this year....way back in either 03-04. Heres a PTR from 2002 with Murphy Bros (when it was good) http://www.flatrides.com/wisconsin02a.html

The company that comes to the fair now is really small. Way back they had literally everything that is top notch.

My favorites were the Enterprise, Zamperla Sky Scrapper, and the Log Ride.
