Top 10: 2009 Edition

[LiveForTheLaunch]

^ I definitely agree with you, it just seems odd that a coaster that a lot of people ranked highly when it first opened is that low in your top fifty. Not saying it was spectacular, but yah, I agree, it just seemed weird.

Just got back from a few parks here in Sweden and I really need to edit my list from a few pages ago...

1. T-Express (The first drop does it for me)
2. Dodonpa
3. Eagle Fortress
4. Kawasemi / Piraten
5. Blue Fire
6. Goliath (WW)
7. Balder
8. Atlantis Adventure
9. Venus GP
10. Olympia Looping

And special mentions goes to:
Steel Dragon 2000
Colossos (Heide Park)
Bandit (Yomiuriland)
Pyrenees
Milky Way (Stand-up side)
Troy
El Toro (no not the Intamin one)

But I have no idea where they should fit...

Anyway Tranan and Insane should be there somewhere, probably only in the Special Mention sections, but they could go higher, I just have to think about it for a while...

I have no life so I just finally finished ranking my coasters from 1-87 in a spreadsheet. They're not completely accurate, especially from about 25-45, and some of the Disney ones are just randomly thrown in there since I can't remember much of them, but here is the top twenty five, which is obviously subject to change upon my trip coming up, yay. RFII will surely make it in there:

1. Toro
2. Voyage
3. Maverick
4. Dragster
5. Ka
6. Shivering Timbers
7. Diamondback
8. Behemoth
9. Beast
10. B:tR
11. Nitro
12. Magnum XL-200
13. Millennium Force
14. Dominator
15. Bizzaro (GADv)
16. Firehawk/Xflight
17. Flight of Fear
18. Journey to Atlantis
19. S:UF
20. Rock n' Roller Coaster
21. Kentucky Rumbler
22. Invertigo
23. Raptor
24. Legend
25. Raven

That's about where the accurate-ness ends. Bolded are the ones I added this year.

 

[furie]

[Pokemaniac]

Wohoo! More changes! Rides in bold are added in 2009:

1. Balder
2. SpeedMonster
3. Piraten
4. Stealth
5. Nemesis Inferno
6. ThunderCoaster (note: would have taken top spot if it still was in pre-2006-condition)
7. Lisebergbanan
8. Kanonen
9. Thor's Hammer
10. X-treme Racers

With flats in the mix, SpinSpider would have gotten a decent 8 spot, and Rush would have taken 10. Uppswinget, while epic, was just way too short. Can't remember if Rush lasted any longer, but it gave a different impression than its Liseberg cousin.

2010 looks promising (no trips planned, but still...)

I'm surprised EK ranked that high for you.. I loved the coaster but it wasn't #11 for me.. I think it's like 13 or 14. Glad Phanny moved up for you too, but I think I liked it better than EK.

P.S.- SFSTL batman is still the best

 

[Antinos]

Clearly Le Vampire at La Ronde, but you wouldn't understand...

Griffon tomorrow <3
