How about this? Lightning Rod is hugely overrated. Of the 16 RMCs I've ridden, I put LRod at #14 just ahead of Joker and Goliath. I've ridden LRod a dozen times on three different visits. I always end the ride thinking, "What am I missing?" I keep hoping my next ride will show me why...

Yeah, the hardest part was repeatedly greying out on the first turn, but it was a walk-on all day, and I could get off and get right back on. I just couldn't help myself because I love the ride. What did stop me eventually was the OTSR which left decent-sized welts on my collar bone!

My tops are: 22 - Intimidator 305 20 - Fury 325 17 - Iron Gwazi 16 - Prowler 15 - Millenium Force

Lightning Rod - The uphill launch and the quad-down are fun, but the middle part of the ride provides only mild thrills for me. It's still one of my top 30 coasters, but I don't get how it's consistently ranked as one of the top 10 coasters in the world. Of the 13 RMCs I've ridden, I put it...

I saw this flick in the theaters when it came out in 1977. I was a huge fan of the disaster movies of the time - Poseidon Adventure, Towering Inferno, Earthquake, Airport, Airport 1975 - but Rollercoaster was a big disappointment. I remember walking out of the theater and being so angry that I...

OVERRATED LIGHTNING ROD - The uphill launch is fun, but the middle of the ride doesn't provide much in the thrill department. And to be honest, the quad-down was less exciting than I thought it would be. This is still in my top 20 for its uniqueness and general fun, but it's not the great...

I-305 was my favorite coaster for the last five years. (It was dethroned this year by Steel Vengeance.) I only greyed out slightly in the past, and it actually added to the feeling of intensity. I always did marathon rides with no problem. Last year, for example, I rode it 27 times in six...

For most of my rides on 305, I'm like you -- I head toward the back. However, at night, the front is just awesome because of that feeling on the first drop of plunging into darkness with nothing in front of you. Also, the darkness just makes the ride feel so much faster as you see the track...

1. First ride on Steel Vengeance. Blown away! 2. Front seat Intimidator 305 at night. The first drop seems to last twice as long, and the train seems to go twice as fast. 3. Riding 27 times on Fury 325 in six hours.

Ride I-305, and I think you'll see what I mean:) The turns on Fury 325 are really good, but just not as intense as the ones on I-305.

1. Steel Vengeance – Love it the way it is. I even like the trim! The lift hill is pretty noisy, though. 2. Maverick – Do something about the trim after the tunnel launch. It kills momentum. 3. Boulder Dash – Have the turnaround banked. 4. Intimidator 305 – Fix the first turn to...

I've hit most major parks east of the Mississippi, except for a few like Canada's Wonderland. Therefore, most of my top 10 focuses on going west. 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Iron Rattler 3. New Texas Giant 4. Cannibal 5. Leviathan 6. X2 7. Prowler 8. Tatsu 9. Phoenix 10...

1. Steel Vengeance - Blows away the competition. 2. Outlaw Run - A unique ride that uses the terrain to maximize the fun! 3. Twisted Timbers - Kind of boring in the front, but a completely different ride in the middle or back. 4. Wicked Cyclone - Really packs a lot of punch in a small...

Like Millenium Force, this is a landmark roller coaster. It has raised the bar for what makes a great coaster. For me, Steel Vengeance is SO good, it has made my other favorite coasters seem less fun. Within a week of riding SV, I rode Intimidator 305 and Fury 325, my previous top 2 coasters...

1. Steel Vengeance (Makes most other coasters seem boring by comparison. Sets a new standard for thrills.) 2. Maverick 3. Boulder Dash 4. Intimidator 305 5. Fury 325 6. Millenium Force 7. El Toro 8. Superman The Ride 9. Skyrush 10. Outlaw Run 11. Top Thrill Dragster 12. Twisted Timbers...
