You're going to bash me for naming mostly coasters from GAm, because I'm not a "cool coaster enthusiast" like you, but here goes anyway:

1: Deja Vu (Yeah yeah, I have to. Even though I said in some other post that I didn't want to name it #1 due to unreliable. Shoot me)
2: Raging Bull (Not just in the back, FYI)
3: V2 ('Scuse me for not being ABLE to go on TTD, Ka, etc.)
4: Superman (How I love to fly)
5: Batman (How I love to hang, lol)
6: Viper (I better learn to keep my head back next time, or I'll end up with another case of mad whiplash, which btw, ruined my whole day last year)
7: AE (Although, hmm, starting to get rough. But keep in mind, I HAD WHIPLASH!)
8: Whizzer (Although I will not ride it unless it's a short line and/or I have gotten in plenty of rides on the other coasters)
9: Avalanche (Only rode it once, but I thought it was cool)
10: Wisconsin State Fair Coaster (Don't know the actual name, but it's kind of fun. For a State Fair Coaster that is.)

Let the "your list sucks" insults commence. :wink:
Hee hee, look. I have a signature thingy um, thing.

^I'm just suprised you have Avalanche so low. I would probably put it above or equal to anything sfgam has.

It's hard to judge it when I've only ridden it once, but my very first experience was a good one. And it's been so long. It probably deserves to be higher than the Whizzer at least, but still. Oh and can I ask why you don't even have Raging Bull ranked? Come on! I don't see how even those who have rode a ton of steel coasters in their life can't place it somewhere in the top 10. I doubt Bull will ever slip off my top 10 no matter how many coasters I get the chance to ride before I die, or grow too old and weak (or fat, lol) to ride coasters. But what do I know? I'm just a poor jobless Milwaukeean who can't even go to GAm this year. Talk about sad.

^Because Bull is not good enough to be in my top 10. It's my 3rd favorite ride at SFGAm alone. After the first drop (which is awesome), its a turn, a weak hill that is badly trimmed, then another turn, then another turn, then the MCBR. After the MCBR the three drops are decent but the figure 8 is boring. It's a mediocre ride after the first drop. There are only about 4 good spots of airtime on the entire ride. I don't favor it just because its in my home park.

Top 5 wood-
10. Screamin Eagle
9. Zeus
8. American Eagle Red
7. Cyclops
6. Hurler
5-Boss
4-Viper
3-Renegade
2-Hades
1-Avalanche

Top 5 Steel-
10. Raging Bull
9. Revenge of The Mummy
8. Mantis
7. Top Thrill Dragster
6. Millenium Force
5- Alpengeist
4- Apollo's Chariot
3-Magnum XL-200
2-DD-Ice
1-X

X Dominates both lists but I generally like wooden coasters more than steel coasters. I could ride Avalanche and Hades all day long while Deuling Dragons Ice would probably bore me after 20 rides.

Sometimes when I ride Bull it's boring, for some of the same reasons EagleFan stated. I have to make the ride fun sometimes, such as looking backwards if I'm in the back row (damn the first drop is scary looking backwards!). I got that whole idea from woodland a while back. Plus I can never ever have a gap between me and the lapbar, so there's not really any airtime.
