I'll seperate coasters from flat and dark rides, I really don't think it right to compare them side by side this way, so as far as the coasters I habe riden go:
1. Nemesis. I doubt nothing will ever change this, it is simply my ideal coaster.
=2. Thirteen. Yes, I know it's reaction here hasn't been the greatest by any means, but, like Nemesis, it just ticks all my personal boxes.
=2. Oblivion. Needs no explanation, really. Nothing comes close for shear adrenaline
4. Grand National. Incredible airtime, nice and rough, and it's a race!
This is where it gets difficult. I really can not single out one coaster which I can say for certain deserves to be on the list. I'm torn between Irn Bru (for mad airtime, and the experience of going backwards), Rita (which, considering it would barely make my top 10 until last November, is no mean feat. But since last summer it has been running really well and the reliabilty has improved), Air (again, not a CF favourite but has been on a run of form since November 2008 and that helix has been so intense recently, almost pushing me towards grey outs, and lets face it, that's not something you would expect to say about Air), PMBO, and possibly one or two others. But because we need a clear answer, I'll just run with Irn Bru.
For non-coaster rides, it looks like this:
1. Hex. Words can not explain...
2. Valhalla. So wet and so dramatic, it kinda has to be up here.
3. Cliff Hanger. A shot tower and a drop tower in one fantastic ride.
4. Flip Flop. Daft name aside, it's a great flat.
5. Ripsaw. Used to hate it, but based on my March weekend, I now love it.
There a a few great rides I havn't done yet, so can't really say for sure until I have at least been to Thorpe and been on rides like Megaphobia, T'Ultimate and JO.
