I was wondering what your favorite ride is for each and an overall of all of them. Here's mine.
Steel - De'ja' Vu at SFGAM because of it's ability to make me say WOW. It is like nothing else I've been on.
Wooden - Screamin' Eagle at SFStL because of it's speed, a lot of drops, and the fact that it doesn't waste my time on a big helix like the American Eagle (what a bore) at SFGAM.
Flat - Without a doubt, my favorite flat has to be the Predator (Windy City Amusements), Typhoon (All Around Amusements), or the Orbitor (Astro Amusements). These are practically the same ride.
UPDATE: Typhoon is not at All Around Amusements anymore. They sold it and bought the Kamikaze.
This ride is awesome due to it's use of centifugal force. It spins you 360 degrees while up in the air without going upside down. It also has a great lightshow considering that it is a carnival ride. I only wish SFGAM could pick this ride up.
Overall - I would have to pick the flat just because. When this ride came by me through All Around Amusements, I bought a MegaPass in which you can ride the rides all the time the carnival was open. Too bad they only let me on three times in a row. I would've stayed on that ride all night and day if I could've. Let me just say that I went on it a lot that weekend.
Keep them replies coming.

Fav Steel Coaster is either SROS @ SFNE or Expedetion GeForce over at Holiday Park in Germany, both are rides that leave you breathless, spectacular airtime and neverending barrage of forces.
Fav Wood: Raven at Holiday World, anyone who's ridden back seat when it's dark knows what I'm talking about. Other honorable mentions are Colossos at Heide Park, HW Legend and Dollywood Thunderhead(my #2 in fact since this is all pretty far out of order)
Fav Flat: This is a hard one Zipper I think for me is still on top, with extreme close runner up's being Mondial Top Scan, KMG Tango, KMG Afterburner, Mondial Shake, Top Fun Spin Ball, Fabbri Booster, Nauta Bussink Giant Evolution and there are a few others making it impossibly hard to choose a favorite.
Fav overall ride, all time favorite would be SFGAm's Sky Whirl, I'd take a ride on that over any Coaster, Flat Ride or other ferris wheel on earth.
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
Steel - Superman Ride of Steel - SFNE
Wood - Beast
Flat - Delirium
Overall - S:RoS! Anyone that has been on that coaster, unless they are a naysayer, is going to say it's the best in the world and it doesn't matter what is built, nothing can be better.
Steel - X at SFMM, only coaster I would ever wait 3 hours for twice.
Wood - Cornball Express at Indiana Beach, still haven't found a wooden coaster that's even near as fun as this one. I get to ride Raven and Legend this summer so maybe they will change my mind.
Flat -Texas Twister (SFWoA's TopSpin) I thought this ride was great and it was my first top spin. I just hope one day King Chaos will run a program close to what this one runs (not sure if GL changed it).
