For me it would be:

10) Hangman-OL. Park closed down shortly after my visit.
9) Chaos-SFKK. Very nice stand-up coaster.
8) Superman Ultimate Flight-SFGAm. I like Superman and flying so sue me lol.
7) Viper-SFGAm. Wicked air time.
6)Magnum XL-CP. I've seen the thing on TTC, DC, and what not I HAD to ride it lol, and it was pretty good! Sweet drop over the lake!
5) Shockwave-SFGAm. I loved it.
4) Millenium Force-CP. Sweet drop over the lake, fast, and smooth.
3) Top Thrill Dragster-CP. I rode it the first year it was there, FAST, TALL, broke actual and personal records.
2) DeJa Vu-SFGAm. When this ride works, it is unbelievable.
1) Raging Bull-SFGAm. Love the first drop and wicked air time through-out. This is on bad-@$$ coaster!

Honorable mention: American Eagle-SFGAm. Born the same year I was, and broke records of it's own. I still love ridin' this classic. Lift hill and drop can't be beat!
Push down, then pull up. Exit to your left/right. And, enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags! Your friendly enthusiast Kyle.

You don't see it because you have never been on TTD.

Just because the height is greater and the speed is faster doesn't mean squat.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Ill just give you my top three faves of anything Ive ever been on. They are only from CedarPoint & SFGAm. Ive been to a few other parks like Disney, MGM, SFMM, universal and whatnot but thats that...It just gets complicated [for me] to make a top 10 cause then Ill have this is tied with this and this is just as good as this and....blah blah blah so....

1. Maverick- perfect & Relentless
2. Topthrill Dragster- scares me. the anticipation never gets easier.
3. Iron wolf- classic, old and mean yep mean. hehe.

These coasters deliver everything I like in a coaster.

I agree with your top three between the parks, but I would have put iron wolf a little lower, although it would not be at the bottom of my list!
