1. Batman: The Ride
The ultimate thrill ride. The best theming in the park, great inversions, great use of inverted coaster type swinging you around under the track in a very fun way! I will say I prefer this ride forward. Im overall not a fan of backwards. For me seeing where Im going and feeling the wind on my face it part of the experience.
2. Raging Bull
Highest speed, biggest drop, amazing curves...enough said.
3. Vertical Velocity
Highest rate of acceleration in the park and highest amount of G-forces in the park.
4. X-Flight
Amazing non-stop action. No time to relax from one inversion to the next. Really feel some Gs on the inversions and gotta love the keyhole elements!
5. Superman: Ultimate Flight
The flying experience is very fun. The pretzel loop is by far the best moment of the ride: inverted going straight down, then on your back at the ground, then head up going up pulling some fun G's heading up out of the loop.
(You probably noticed a pattern in my top 5...Gotta love B&M!)
6. Demon
Very fun classic looping coaster with the best of the basic coaster elements: drop into double loop and double corkscrews. Classic steel coaster train. My only negative is Im not a fan of headbangers. I probably would have been a big fan of Iron Wolf without the headbanging on that one.
7. American Eagle
My all time favorite wooden coaster. Great use of wooden racing coaster elements. Great drops, great negative G's (Im personally not a fan of negative G's but they are a classic wooden coaster element and I can appreciate them), and my favorite part is the winding downhill curve.
8. Viper
Who doesn't love a version of the Coney Island Cyclone? Great drops and curves. Appreciate the classics.
9. The Dark Knight
Not a very intense ride but still fun. I enjoy the theming, I love that this coaster includes theming in the ride; I wish sfga would use more theming in their rides. I also love the fact that we have the option of an indoor coaster. Sometimes you just want a break from the weather without taking a break from the coasters. I will probably always hit this coaster and some point just to get indoors and not stop riding.
10. Ragin' Cajun
Eh it's ok. It does have some level of intensity which puts it about the others below it on the list.
11. Whizzer
A classic. I prefer more intense rides but this does bring me back to memories of my younger years when I first started riding coasters at Indiana Beach. Also, love that it goes whizzing past trees and the spiral lift mixes things up for the better.
12. Little Dipper
I enjoy whizzer better but I can pretty much say the same things about this ride. Prefer more intense but it's nice to slow down and remember what it was like to be young again. I like Whizzer, Little Dipper, and Spacely Sprockets Rockets for the same reason I love riding Tomorrowland Speedway at WDW over and over again, they let me be a kid again.
13. Spacely Sprocket's Rockets
More of the same for my last on the list. I go to sfga for intense rides but I ride the smaller ones like this for more childish fun. I do have a very active inner child.

I pretty much love all the rides. Feel free to post your complaints about the coasters lower on your list.

I hate to be "that guy," but I'm going to be "that guy" this time, which is "that guy that points out this thread was done this past winter," where I'll point you for my answers:
