    I'm surprised that Magnum didn't make this list somewhere. Although old and rough around the edges, it has an out-of-control aspect to it that is hard to duplicate, and mad ejector airtime.

    3. Renegade
    4. Orion

    6. Maverick

    My Top 15 is as follows:
    1. Steel Vengeance
    2. Maverick
    3. Outlaw Run
    4. Voyage
    5. Magnum XL-200 (Surprised this didn't make your list- Great airtime!)
    6. Top Thrill Dragster
    7. Millennium Force
    8. Orion
    9. Diamondback
    10. Time Traveler
    11. Goliath (SFGAm)
    12. Mystic Timbers
    13. Thunderbird
    14. Maxx Force
    15. Cornball Express
    I still have to get on Shivering Timbers, Hades 360, Renegade, Monster, Prowler and Zippin Pippin. I would expect Shivering Timbers and Hades 360 to be most likely to crack the Top 10. Renegade I guess would be slightly ahead of Mystic as GoldStriker is my top GCI. The last 3 may or may not crack the Top 15. I also have not done trimless Voyage, and when I rode it in 2018 I didn't feel the best that day.

    @blainewilliams394 2 года назад

    I’ve only been on four, all of which are at SFGA. Here’s how I rank them and why: 4, joker (s&s freespin 2017) I made the mistake of not putting the restraint down as far as possible, so it was a painful ride. 3. American Eagle (intamin woodie 1981) this old intamin needs titan track. The helix feels like a trampoline, rough as hell. 2. Dark knight (Mack wild mouse? 2015?) it’s better than American Eagle and has good theming. 1. Viper (CCI/Six Flags woodie 1996) has good air time, does have a rumble which added on to the experience

    I feel like the lack of Cornball Express was an oversight.
    Otherwise this seems like a pretty solid list and my experiences overlap heavily with what you're listing here - only the Missouri and Iowa parks are out of my grasp.
    Seemingly everyone finally got a piece of Shivering Timbers this year and it's really encouraged me to get back over there next year. I haven't been on it since 2012 and it's slipped a (probably) unjust distance down my rankings.

    It's totally fine if someone truly doesn't think Steel Vengeance is the best. Everyone has different opinions. But there are a lot of individuals who seem to think it makes them edgy and cool to consistently have controversial opinions. Especially when it's comes to Steel Vengeance.

    Millenium Force USED to be an elite coaster. It simply isn't after they slowed the cable lift though. It was revolutionary at the time it was built but it just simply does not hold up to the gigas built since 2010.
    On Steel Vengence I've always said "RMC Mean Streak was never going to NOT be overrated" since I rode my first RMC (Goliath-2016). I definately prefer an RMC like Storm Chaser that's at least as aggressive but so much more marathonable because of the lines. And I prefer Voyage to all the RMCs I've ridden. That said I do think the "popular to hate on something popular" train has gone too far with Steel Vengence. Of the states you highlighted I'd still place it at #2 and easily top 25 in the world.

I got great floater on Mamba, if that gives you a little hint to how hot it was...
