1. X Flight: Smooth ride, good themeing, quick lines generally depending on when you go. I wish they would find out the causes of its breakdowns. 2. Superman: UF: Fun, unique, smooth, and I enjoy the pretzel loop. 3. Viper & Repiv: Seriously a great wooden coaster. I find it smooth for a woodie and I love the head chopping elements. 4. Raging Bull: Am I the only one that thinks it is becoming pretty rough at the bottom of some of its hills. 5. American Eagle Blue: I like the airtime and its a classic. 6. TDK: I enjoy how you get the freefall effect on some of the drops but is way too short. 7. Spacely Sprockets: First coaster, was smooth but years since I have ridden it. 8. Batman: The Ride: Great scenary but I hate the smelly stairs and how rough it has gotten. 9. Little Dipper: Classic but not for taller folks. 10. Rajun Cajun: The line! The short ride. All sucks. 11. Whizzer: Okay, so I forgot about it till now. seriously I would rate it at 5 but it is pretty forgettable. Its approaching 40 and is pretty smooth for its age. Also, who doesn't want to ride a coaster only in a seat belt. 12. Demon: I like my head too much to ride every visit. 13. V2: Up and down and long wait. Not worth it. 14. American Eagle Red: Wins the award for tear it down. I have never started bleeding after a coaster until yesterday's ride from being tossed like a rag doll in my seat. How much rougher does a ride have to be to close it.?
^I'm guessing you caught red on a really bad day. It's always been shaky but that's what adds to fun and gives it a classic wooden coaster feel in my opinion. It's never been overbearing or in the ranks of Hades, SOB, and Mean Streak for roughness.

Mean Streak and Hades would have been a delight compared to Eagle Red. I didnt even tempt Blue after that ride. Everyone on board was complaining how rough it was.
1 ) X-Flight- Good ride (especially in the front row) One of 5 winged coasters in the world. I think it doesn't get the attention it deserves. However, since it was a disappointment for most of the GP, there's rarely much of line. 2 ) American Eagle- Classic racing coaster. First there's barely a line, then the "line" is split into two. Leaving no wait. 3 ) Raging Bull- The first drop is insane. Never sit anywhere except the two back rows. The capacity is rather good, especially with three trains. 4 ) Batman- It stills gets me when the floor drops. The line goes fast. (depending on the intervals that the FP op lets in) It's tied with the most inversions for X-Flight. (I believe) 5 ) Demon- It was my first looping coaster. Maybe it's just me but it has always been one of the smoother Arrow's. It also felt smoother this year. (probably after being on Ninja at SFSTl) 6 ) Viper- Tons of air time. Never that much of a line and it's surprisingly smooth. 7 ) Whizzer- It's hard to believe that if Shockwave didn't get it, I wouldn't have been able to experience my first coaster. I like how two people can sit per seat) It's a cute couple ride, at least for teens. 8 ) Vertical Velocity- I would go on this coaster more. I have to hit it first thing. The thing just has terrible capacity and the launch is rather timid, in my opinion. 9 ) Superman- This actually is one of the better coasters. However, it is crazy popular and has all of the ques filled most of the day. It would be higher if the line wasn't so long. 10 ) Dark Knight- The line really brings this "coaster" down. The capacity is bad. I really used to go on it for the pre-show. Now that that's gone it is pretty much worthless to me.
