I think that covers all of the one's I've ridden.
 
In terms of the actual launch itself:

1) Baco
2) Stealth
3) Rita
4) Irn Bru Rev - I know it's not an actual launch, but oh well.
 
I still don't see why some think Xcel's launch is better than bigger, faster launches.

Xcel's launch has a quicker acceleration, but it seemed to be over so quickly, lasting just over 2 seconds. I favor TTD's launch as you get a better sense of speed, really letting the acceleration sink in.
 
^Nearly.

TTD front row > KK front row > everything else.
 
I havn't done TTD front row. But it's at CP, so instant fail.

If there was a near-clone of Maverick anywhere else, it would be better than Maverick.

See now I did like Ka, hence why it's in my top ten, but I just find the launch on Stealth much more exhilarating and satisfying overall.

With Ka I just feel like the launch goes on for too long and loses its 'oomph' whereas Stealth goes off with a bang and before you know it you're vertical. I like how snappy and gut-wrenching Stealth's launch is whereas Ka, although obviously faster, was a lot smoother and therefore a lot less enjoyable for me.
 
1. Kingda Ka
2. Furius Baco
3. Stealth
4. Superman Escape
5. Rita
6. Jet Rescue
7. Wicked Twister
 
Dodonpa's was literally breathtaking. Shame about the rest of the ride, it's balls compared to the launch.
