This is still a small enough community that I think we can get away with this discussion without a ton of replies that no one reads ;)

What’s everyone’s top 10 list for coasters? Here’s my current top 10:

#1 - Voyage - Holiday World

#2 - VelociCoaster - Universal Studios Islands of Adventure

#3 - Mystic Timbers - King’s Island

#4 - El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure

#5 - Iron Gwazi - Busch Gardens Tampa

#6 - Ravine Flyer II - Waldameer

#7 - Skyrush - Hersheypark

#8 - Twisted Timbers - King’s Dominion

#9 - Intimidator 305 - King’s Dominion

#10 - Phantom’s Revenge - Kennywood

Before anyone asks, yes, I’ve been to Cedar Point… SteVe doesn’t appear until 22 in my list…

    Here’s mine:

    1. Zadra - Energylandia
    2. Ride to Happiness - Plopasland De Panne
    3. Taron - Phantasialand
    4. Hyperion - Energylandia
    5. FLY - Phantasialand
    6. ICON - Blackpool Pleasure Beach
    7. Nemesis - Alton Towers
    8. Black Mamba - Phantasialand
    9. Oblivion - Alton Towers
    10. The Smiler - Alton Towers

    Total credits: 136 (according to CoasterCount’s ‘Real Coaster’ definition)

    I must admit… as I’ve gotten out to more parks, watching the Alton Towers’ (my local park) coasters slide down the list has been slightly sad haha.

      So many coasters on this list that I wish I could get over the pond to ride… FLY is probably the biggest one for me.

        If its any consolation, there are many entries on your list I wish I could ride! I’ve just started planning a US east coast trip for next year with some friends so we’re hoping to hit King’s Dominion, BGW and SFGAdv (and maybe Nick Universe and Coney Island) but it’s still early days so hopefully we can get a plan together.

          It’s the frustration of this hobby 😂

          As you plan your trip I’d seriously consider a tour of the parks in Pennsylvania. There are so many gems hiding at little places that don’t get mentioned a lot. Knoebels is a must visit park if you’re over here… But Waldameer, Lakemont and Kennywood have serious gems… That’s not even mentioning the mecca that is Hersheypark.

          If you have any questions as you plan your trip I’ll be happy to help… The east coast is my domain lol.
