NOTE* Please insert El toro, Nitro, and possibly Ka as of July 13 2009 as this is when I will be riding these 3 for the first time. My guess is El toro 1 or 2, Nitro 3-6 somewhere. and Ka 6-12...

Also Honerable mention goes to vortex of Canadas Wonderland...

Post by: nitrorox1414 on May 28, 2009, 08:40:44 PM: You think less of Nitro ... Thats What I did its my favorite now
Title: Re: Your Top Ten Roller Coasters.
Post by: dkny6363 on May 29, 2009, 12:02:07 AM: Sorry to offend Nitro... I know what you're saying. Keep in mind Behemoth is my fav. right now so I totaly am on your side.

I'm just simply assuming based on what I know and have heard. I can't help but assume El Toro #1 and then nitro slidding in somewhere with behemoth and millenium...

If you like nitro come to T.O. for behemoth, but wait till our next coaster cuz we are week in quality right now. GCI on Int in 2010-2011... at least thats the rumours

Post by: AV Matt on May 29, 2009, 01:13:40 PM: An SLC in a top ten list? WOW!
Title: Re: Your Top Ten Roller Coasters.
Post by: WadeJ on May 29, 2009, 01:16:59 PM: I'll post my list when I have time to actually think about it but I wanted to mention how awesome this is to watch the younger members post a list (and mean it). Its so cool to watch it evolve over time as you guys get out to more and more places. Keep setting your sights on places you've never been!

Btw - for those that know me, would you believe that montu was not only knocked out of 1st or 2nd but possibly back to 9th or 10th while manta and kumba are fighting for my top 1 -3 with el toro.

Post by: coasterkraze on May 29, 2009, 06:22:07 PM: #1- BIZARRO- Great Adventure
Title: Re: Your Top Ten Roller Coasters.
Post by: WDWorldFan on June 07, 2009, 01:10:09 AM: It's so hard to pick! At Six Flags it would be Nitro (#1) and then Bizarro. Outside of Great Adventure I would say Disneyland's Matterhorn Bobsleds and their version of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Disney World's Big Thunder is not quite as good as DL's...) Busch Garden's Big Bad Wolf is up there too followed by Rock'n Roller Coaster in WDW. Expedition Everest in Disney's Animal Kingdom is well done, but at the bottom of my top ten list.

I posted some ride photos and videos of Nitro, Bizarro (and others) on http://themeparkrider.webs.com (http://themeparkrider.webs.com)

:o Enjoy!

Title: Re: Your Top Ten Roller Coasters.
Post by: AV Matt on June 08, 2009, 10:21:51 PM: Thunderhead is the fastest-paced GCI in the states and has the strongest airtime of the ones with with MF trains. Gwazi is still the most intense GCI with its more powerful PTC trains.
