That's a good question. I'm not sure, I guess Bull or V2 because I have rode them many times and, unlike some other coasters, they to me have not lost their touch. I wouldn't put Viper or Batman because I'd get sick of them :oops: not good!
Eh.......I got nothing.

I would probably end up putting in Moonsault Scarmble because that inversion looks very interesting and I would really like to try it. Even though I heard it had horrible transitions, a little modification here and there can fix that. It was also the first coaster to go over 200 feet, at 246 feet.

A picture of it is right HERE!

EDIT: clearification of post

Well my backyard is pretty small, probably only Dragon or something would fit there. :lol: But if it were somewhat bigger I'd put Vu there.

This is pretty much a "what's you favorite coaster" topic. And a calling for sarcasm.

^Well, not necessarily.

I would put a coaster that i could ride over and over again and not get sick of so i would go with Revenge of the Mummy, although Whizzer would be good on a comfort level and Iron Dragon would be cool too.

i've always thought about this when i was younger.
the only way i'll go is building my own and personal
custom roller coaster. i would be able to do so much;
like making the station in the house upstairs and work it's
way out to the back yard. i'll make the track take up all the
backyard and around the house and over the house.
it would be one crazzy ride that people would pay to ride.
