      Michigan's Adventure is my home park, and unfortunately, Cedar Fair doesn't care too much for it. Shivering Timbers is a great coaster, but its become so rough that I can only ride it once if I don't want to ruin my day. It desperately needs re-tracking but I doubt that'll ever happen since MA went 13 years between its last two coasters.

      B&M is probably why Arrow went out of business. They both did the same things, B&M just did it better.
      And B&M is why Vekoma probably quit making SLCs. Every B&M suspended coaster crushes Vekomas in terms of experience.

Hulk was the first launch coaster I ever rode and I didn't even know that was a thing until it took off into that hole of light at the end of the tunnel. Suffice to say I rode it 4 times in a row, just got off and ran right back to the front, epic!

    Rock'N Rollercoaster was my second ever upside down rollercoaster and my first upsidedown steel rollercoaster and I absolutely adored the ride!
    Edit: The Incredible Hulk Coaster was my second and I absolutely have to ride it every time I visit IoA! It's one of my favorites there besides Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and now the Jurassic World Velocicoaster!

      I'm surprised Dueling Dragons wasn't on this. Not only is it nostalgia gold (very often people's third coaster--after Rock 'n' Rollercoaster and Hulk), it was considered the best dueling coaster in the world, in part because each coaster was independently excellent.

    My two invert credits are an slc and Montu. I got off of Montu, looked at my family and said "now that is how an invert should be." Also that massive loop on Kumba over its lift hill is quite the experience if you're only used to quick Arrow loops.

    I'm so happy that some 90s roller coasters are still operating this day. But sad that some 90's roller coasters were defuncted. I remembered riding on some roller coasters that were along since the 90s, especially Batman The Ride. This was apart of Six Flag's roller coaster clones despite the same inverted roller coaster from each other. But still, 90s roller coasters were really fun to ride, even if they are a little rough.

    When Viper at Six Flags Magic Mountain opened, it was the world’s largest and fastest looping coaster, and it was the “second” fastest coaster in the world, with Magnum XL-200 being the fastest at that time. Viper stands at 188 feet.

    Seriously though nemesis really changed the coaster game. Sure there were themed rides but none as intense or as mysterious as nemesis. If nobody has ridden it, you have too its absolutely incredible. I believe it should not be re tracked as the roughness increases the intensity
