Default Favorite Roller Coaster

I'm sure there has to be at least a few Roller Coaster enthusiast on the forums. So what is everyone's favorite Roller Coaster. Mine would be a toss up between Superman/Bizzaro at Six Flags New England and the Beast at King's Island.

It was Freefall at Six Flags Magic Mountain until they closed it.

Now it's probably a tie of Goliath and X2.

I like the Mr Freeze at Six Flags St Louis. Haven't been there in a while so it may have changed names at this point.

I have a hard time picking a single favorite. I would probably have to say The Cracken at Sea World in Orlando. It has an awesome weightless roll and it's very, very smooth. The Hulk at Islands of Adventure in Orlando is a good coaster, but it's a little rough. Dueling Dragons at the same park was also very good, but if I'm not mistaken this one is being converted into a Harry Potter ride. I wonder if the coasters themselves will change though. I also love the Montu at Busch Gardens in Tampa and the TopGun at Carowinds on the NC/SC border. The Hypersonic at King's Dominion is a neat gimmick ride.

My very favorite rides are freefall rides, but as the thread only asks about roller coasters I didn't list them.

I've only been to Cedar Point once and that was in 2000 but it has a lot of amazing coasters. It's actually hard to ride them all in one day if it's busy.

You guys can have your high coasters. Just the ride up the chain would put me in an early grave.

I still need to get out to Cedar Point. My favorite is Kinda Ka @ Six Flags in NJ...when it is actually operational.

We took a road trip out to Cedar Point in the summer of 2000, the year MF opened. I'll never forget the gorgeous view of the entire peninsula from 310' in the sky. The ride itself was also spectacular and still remains one of my favorites.

Some other great coasters...

S:ROS/Bizarro - Six Flags New England
El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure
The Beast - King's Island
The Incredible Hulk - Islands of Adventure
Kingda Ka - Six Flags Great Adventure
Nitro - Six Flags Great Adventure

Tatsu at Six Flags Magic Mountain. That inverted loop at the end gets me everytime. So much fun.

Would love to go to Cedar Point one of these years.

I like Goliath the best at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I also like Viper because that was my first ever coaster that my dad took me on, and it is still a good ride.

OMG! I recently went to Six Flags Magic Mountain and the first one i got on was X2. Big Mistake! That coaster really scared the $hit outta me. It's not so much the twirls and loops, but the way you are harnessed into the seat. It goes so fast and the whole time I'm thinking "DAMN! the only thing between me and sure death is these two rubber harnesses!!!"
