Best SBNO Coasters

I was looking into my trip to Branson soon and started thinking about Ozark Wildcat. I had heard it was a great GCI and now it is just sitting there, rotting away. It got me thinking about all of the other coasters that are just sitting there with no riders so I thought I would start a topic on it. Simple enough premise, what do you think are the best SBNO (Standing but not Operating) Coasters.

Of course, I would love to have Ozark Wildcat open because SDC is sort of my home park (only a mere 6 **** hours away), but I will have to give it to Rampage at Alabama Adventure because it is at a more realistic home park than SDC (only a mere 3 **** hours away). I was only able to go to the park once before it became Splash Adventure, but Rampage still remains one of my favorite coasters. The airtime was just outstanding. It was almost all ejector and all over the long layout. The ride was a bit rough but I love a rough wooden coaster. I really hope with its new owners they open the theme park back open so I can finally ride it again.
 
Judging by the general opinion of the people that had a chance to ride it, I'd say Eagle Fortress.
And don't worry about Rampage, it will reopen in some 2 months time.
 
Definitely Eagle Fortress from what I've ridden.

Aska seemed to be rated very highly before the whole park closed down as well. Pretty sure it's still standing.
 
Eagle Fortress, but I do have a soft spot for the old Geauga Lake creds (Big Dipper and Raging Wolf Bobs). Not sure if they're both still standing though.
 
Digging this back up as I actually bothered to click page 2 on the forums.

I light a candle in the window every night that someone, somewhere can find a good home for the Big Dipper of Geauga Lake. Cedar Fair has been kind enough to rip out everything around the coaster, but leave the ACE Classic standing. I know there is murmurs of a shopping/condo complex going up on the GL site, of which Big Dipper would be a great spectacle, but at the end of the day it would be great to see it operational anywhere.
 
From riding experience, definitely Dania Beach Hurricane. It's in my wooden coaster top 10.

I would like to have checked out the following:
Knightmare at Camelot
Mega Zeph at Six Flags New Orleans
Ring Racer at Nürburgring
Big Dipper at Geauga Lake

There are rumours that Knightmare is on the move. I've heard Italy but unconfirmed. All I'm saying is there's still a chance you can ride it!
 
There's no such thing as a good coaster sat there doing nothing.
 
Whichever ones I've already got, and others haven't, that are sat there denying them the cred. Those at the best <3

The GCI in Branson and the B&M at HRP. The GCI will rot and the the B&M will go somewhere really spiteful like North Korea.
