Wildfire at Kolmarden, Helix at Liseberg and Expedition GeForce would all be on this list but I should be doing all of them this year as tickets have already been booked.
 
My top to do's are any RMC creation that isn't Wicked Cyclone or New Texas Giant. So I decided to do a non RMC top 10 in no particular order.

1. Helix - Liseberg
2. Taron - Phantasialand
3. Boardwalk Bullet - Kemah Boardwalk
4. Expedition GeForce - Holiday Park
5. Nemesis - Alton Towers
6. Leviathan - Canada's Wonderland
7. Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain - Indiana Beach
8. Ravine Flyer II - Waldameer
9. Indiana Jones et le Temple du Peril - Disneyland Paris
10. Kersplash - Edaville USA (They bought this piece of trash from the Washington State Fair years ago!!!!!! And every year RCDB says its opening during the current year and it never opens and its like 20 minutes from my house and just want it to open for the cred)

In the meantime, you’ll just have to keep rockin Troublesome Trucks Runaway Coaster! Comes free with spinal readjustment jerk on the lift hill and rare points on coaster-count!
 
With some long time goals knocked off, Steel Vengeance, and new crops of rides/discoveries here's my 2019 to do list:

1: X2
2: Lightning Rod
3: Fury 325
4-10 in no real order:
Formula Rossa, Expedition GeForce, Shambhala, Taron, Cannibal, Karnan, Do-Dodonpa (they made the launch even faster in an even shorter time!?)

Honorable mention: Hyperion, Flying Aces, DC Rivals Hypercoaster, Wodan Timbur, Cu Chulainn, all the epic chinese wooden coasters

I want to do all the RMC's but having been on a few biggies I at least know the experience now, and while lots of woodies look great in Europe, Asia (and the US) hard to imagine any standing out above what I've done. So my list is less clogged with RMCs and more international (aka I doubt I'll ever get to them)
 
In no logical order for Coaster currently built:

1. Lightning Rod - Dollywood
2. Outlaw Run - SDC
3. Twisted Timbers - Kings Dominion
4. Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion
5. Skyrush - Hershey Park
6. DC Rivals - WBMW
7. Hyperion - Energylandia
8. Expedition G Force - Holiday Park
9. Wildfire - Kolmarden
10. Karnan - Hansa
 
Based heavily on expected coaster quality but also general intrigue of coasters:

1) DC Rivals - Need I say more. This ride looks so insane. I can't even imagine that drop, airtime hill, non-inverted loop combo going backwards.
2) Steel Dolphin - Since its construction I've been really intrigued by this coaster. The outward bank and whole second half look awesome. I just got back from a trip to China where I visited this park, but much to my dismay this coaster was down for maintenance. Easily my most crushing spite so I really need to get back to this park.
---------------------------------
(in no particular order)
3) Wild West Mine Train (Ocean Park) - That setting is just incredible. Long has this ride been high on my bucket list for that reason, but the coaster itself looks awesome too! Seems like a couple great airtime moments.
4) Steel Vengeance - I don't think anyone needs an explanation for this. (hopefully riding this May/June)
5) Lightning Rod - QUAD DOWN
6) Voyage - I love terrain wooden coaster, hence PIBF and BD in my top 4, and this looks like no exception. Crazy long ride and tons of airtime.
7) Hyper Coaster (Land of Legends) - With less trims than Flash, this thing seems like it hauls! I love Mack's work and this whole ride just looks incredible.
8) Wood Coaster - Same reasons as Voyage
9) Eejanaika - After only getting two rides on Dinoconda, my 4D craving has yet to be fully satisfied.
10) Expedition GeForce - Classic hyper that just looks incredible in every way.
 
It's the end of the season for me, so I might as well cross off what I managed to get to from my list this year. Coasters ridden this season in bold.

* Not because I’ve heard anyone say it’s a good coaster or because I think I’d particularly enjoy it but because I infamously pussied out on every coaster bigger than Nick Streak last time I went to BPB aged 7, so to go back and conquer TBO would tie up that particular loose end ;)

Blue Streak
Corkscrew
Iron Dragon

Ok, WOW I need to change this up!
Ok, so I've done #1, #6, #7, and #8, and I'm gonna remove #4 and #5. So.....
  1. Lightning Rod
  2. Twisted Colossus
  3. X2
  4. Gold Striker
  5. RMC Raptor
  6. Kentucky Kingdom
  7. Dollywood
  8. Hersheypark
  9. Time Traveler
  10. Voyage
Okay, shakeup time

1. Time Traveller
2. Dollywood
3. Storm Chaser
4. Lightning Rod
5. RMC Raptor
6. Kennywood Re-visit (More on that in a sec)
7. Holiday World

So...Kennywood... I honestly didn't enjoy the park when I went. Operations were slow, rides were closed, and some rides were even overrated. HOWEVER, I only got a single ride on each coaster that was open (besides the kiddy credit), and I got a mediocre ride on PR. I definitely want to try the park again, even if my opinion doesn't change. I also wasn't feeling the best that day (I had a decent sized headache...don't ride Aero 360 if you have a headache...), so I wonder if going when I'm in a better mood would change my opinion.
 
1. T-Express
2. Eejaniaka/Dinoconda
3. Do-Dodonpa
4. Dueling Dragon
5. Hakugei
