Your first, favourite and least favourite coaster in each country/US state you've visited

[Matt N]

Hi guys. As I saw that my topic "Your first, favourite and least favourite coaster from each manufacturer" recently got bumped, it gave me the idea to make a similar thread, but for countries instead of manufacturers! Mine will be a bit dull, as I've only been to 2 countries, but I think it could be interesting to see the responses of those of you who've visited more countries. Anyway, I'll get the ball rolling with mine:
United Kingdom

• First: Runaway Mine Train (Alton Towers)
• Favourite: Icon (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)
• Least Favourite: Infusion (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)

USA (Florida)

• First: Incredible Hulk (Universal's Islands of Adventure)
• Favourite: Mako (SeaWorld Orlando)
• Least Favourite: Primeval Whirl (Disney's Animal Kingdom)

I'd be intrigued to see you guys' responses!
P.S. As implied by my post, you can split the USA into states if you wish!

I know these haven't been active for a while, but similar topics do exist on the forums already.

Uh, First Coaster/Park per State / Country?

Because its really fun to make long pointless lists that don't really matter in the real world!! So, uh, what was the first park and coaster you went on in each State or Country you've visited? For me it would be something along the lines of.... Austria Park - Prater Coaster - Super 8er Bahn...

Traveller's topic: Country's favorite

As the title may already suggests, which are your favourite coasters by country/US state you've visited? How did you like it, which bigger parks have you visited there, and which are the countries which you've been to, but haven't ridden any creds? Mine list would look like that Europe...

coasterforce.com

Well, we don't have a topic that would join the three together and we don't have one that focuses on the least favorite coasters (I'll get back here with that once I get hold of my good ol' spreadsheet later this month), though!
