Now that I've all but finished my American TR, time for another update. I'll give my Top 10%, which will be 28 creds, but I think that the "Top 10% of rides I've ranked" (basically ignored kiddie creds and boring +1s), which would be my Top 18, is the most telling:
Rank | Coaster | Park |
1 | Taron | Phantasialand |
2 | Taiga | Linnanmäki |
3 | Untamed | Walibi Holland |
4 | Skyrush | Hersheypark |
5 | Helix | Liseberg |
6 | Oz'Iris | Parc Asterix |
7 | Balder | Liseberg |
8 | Lost Gravity | Walibi Holland |
9 | Der Schwur des Kärnan | Hansa Park |
10 | Phoenix | Knoebels |
11 | Jersey Devil Coaster | Six Flags Great Adventure |
12 | Nemesis | Alton Towers |
13 | Joris en de Draak | Efteling |
14 | Colossos - Kampf der Giganten | Heide Park |
15 | Goliath | Walibi Holland |
16 | Candymonium | Hersheypark |
17 | El Toro | Six Flags Great Adventure |
18 | Troy | Toverland |
19 | Black Mamba | Phantasialand |
20 | Hyperion | Energylandia |
21 | Lech Coaster | Legendia |
22 | Lisebergbanan | Liseberg |
23 | Van Helsing's Factory | Movie Park Germany |
24 | Pulsar | Walibi Belgium |
25 | Nitro | Six Flags Great Adventure |
26 | The Swarm | Thorpe Park |
27 | Nemesis Inferno | Thorpe Park |
28 | Colorado Adventure | Phantasialand |
So two new entries into the Top 10, 5 in the Top 10% Proper and 6 in the Top 10% Total. Decent numbers that.
For those who haven't read my TR, some quick thoughts:
-Skyrush is incredibly violent and absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
-Phoenix was a huge surprise for me, and just an absolute ton of fun.
-Jersey Devil Coaster's highlights are the first drop, turnaround and zero-g roll. Fast paced and wicked fun.
-Candymonium is a real grower of a ride, and features some really cool airtime.
-El Toro has a cracking set of drops at the start
-Nitro is really fun, especially on the back row.
I might revisit this at some point, as I still haven't figured out where to place Kingda Ka. It's big, it's fast, it doesn't do much, but my days it's a fantastic experience.
