Hrmmm, a challenging question....

I'll do only rides I've ridden as I've noticed around here alot of rides get ranked based on looks rather tham people actually have ridden it.


1. Well Run Mondial Top Scan
2. KMG Tango (this is #1 if the Top Scan is not well or manually run)
3. Chance Zipper, prefably one made before 1970
4. Any non-Chance Ferris Wheel
5. Top Fun SpinBall(for sheer intensity) http://wipeout.free.fr/step3/09.htm
6. Mondial Shake http://wipeout.free.fr/step3/16.htm (though only the first pic there is a Mondial, other 2 are clones)
7.getting hard now, but probably KMG expierience http://wipeout.free.fr/step3/21.htm (20 sommersaults per minute those seats do)
8. SkyScrapers and/or Fabbri Booster
9. Sorioni&Moser Energy Storm http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%2 ... storm.html and of note that ride will be in Streetor IL over the 4'th of July weekend, really great carnival there, just about an hour south of where I live (2 hours south of SFGAm)
10. KMG Afterburner type rides (I perfer the Fabbri Space Jam due to restraint configurations)
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

Yeah, I like it very much. However, its not in my top 10. I have a pretty long list of flats I like. Other rides include Condor, Ricochet, BEB, STT, The Orbit, Space Shuttle America / Elvira / Dino Island II and III, Whirlgig, Fiddler's Fling, Chubasco and other "Tea Cup" rides, RR and other various raft rides, Tilt-A-Whirl, Men In Black at (US), Spiderman at (US), Hi-Lite Scat, Scrambler, Polyp, Soriana & Moser Crazy Surf (most intense bruised up ride out of all and is awesome), Watkins Swinger, Rush Street Flyer (SFStL), Musik Express, Scooby-doo water ride, Splash Mountain, some small WDW dark rides, MaxAir, Moser Spring Ride-Dip N Drop, Himalaya at Santa's Village (I believe its Revechron), Jurassic Park ride at (US), Spider, Chance Inverter (not bad), Bumper Cars, Cliffhanger, Drop Zone, and Sizzler along with Downdraft/Hurricane are just okay. That's about it for now. If I come up with more, I'll let you know.

I can't come up with a list of 10, but I know my first few would definitely be the Huss Giant Frisbee, the Huss Topspin, and the Zippers. Does anyone else love the standing enterprises?
