Just going to do the top10 for now and figure out the rest after I come home from Portugal...
1. Taron, Phantasialand
2. X2, SFMM
3. Shambhala, PortAventura
4. Expedition GeForce, Holiday Park
5. Goliath, WH
6. Katun, Mirabilandia
7. Black Mamba, Phantasialand
8. Nemesis, Alton Towers
9. iSpeed, Mirabilandia
10. Tatsu, SFMM

And for the first time ever, no woodies in there. I just think that none of those I've done so far really stand out, there are 3 good GCIs that are in my top 20, but none of them are top 10 worthy for me at the moment.

I hate doing this and have put it off for absolutely ages. But as I've had a big project at work this month, going through all the coasters of the last few years has been a great form of procrastination. My top list is something like this (I've no idea why it stops at 34, it just does):

1 Phoenix
2 Helix
3 Shambhala
4 Nitro
5 Skyrush
6 Nemesis
7 Black Mamba
8 Balder
9 Troy
10 Tonnere de Zeus
11 Steel Dragon 2000
12 Eejanaika/X2
13 Dragon Khan
14 Tatsu
15 Wildfire
16 Twister (Gröna Lund)
17 Katun
18 Fujiyama
19 Grand National
20 Mr Freeze: Reverse Blast
21 Dodonpa

4) Balder.
5) Goliath (Walibi).
6) Alpina Blitz.

Had a little shuffle after sweden.

1 - Skyrush
2 - Wicked Cyclone
3 - Bizarro (SFNE)
4 - Colossos
5 - Sliver Star
6 - Roar-O-Saurus
7 - Nemesis
8 - Alpina Blitz
9 - Piraten
10- Wildfire

realised I hadn't got Alpina in there, and slightly prefered it to piraten, and because of 3 or 4 absolutely insane OMG moments, I decided wildfire was worth a place!

Balder almost made it's way in there too!

And since phantasialand another change

1 - Skyrush
2 - Wicked Cyclone
3 - Bizarro (SFNE)
4 - Colossos
5 - Sliver Star
6 - Roar-O-Saurus
7 - Nemesis

At the moment at least;

1. Balder
2. Shambhala
3. Helix
4. Dragon Khan
5. Nemesis
6. The Smiler
7. Swarm
8. Velocity
9. Jubilee Odyssey
10. Rage

Daemonen comes in at 9. That'll be it for the while.

1. Balder
2. Shambhala
3. Helix
4. Dragon Khan
5. Nemesis
6. The Smiler
7. Swarm
8. Velocity
9. Daemonen
10. Jubilee Odyssey

1. Balder
2. Shambhala
3. Helix
4. Dragon Khan
5. Nemesis
6. The Smiler
7. Swarm
8. Superman/La Atraccion De Acero
9. Batman La Fuga
10. Velocity

Superman was very good, more forceful than expected in places and just generally fun to ride. Batman was good, relentless, flies through the second half but possibly just a bit too strong to go any higher.

After 2 and a half days at Europa;

1. Balder
2. Shambhala
3. Helix
4. Blue Fire
5. Silver Star
6. Dragon Khan
7. Nemesis
8. The Smiler
9. Swarm
10. Superman / La Atraccion De Acero

Not sure where I'd put Wodan, still not sure if I really enjoyed it. Only other coastsr of note is Eurosat going in at absolute last.

Is there a trip report to look forward to?

I actually look forward to your reports because weirdly you always seem to be a step ahead of me with parks. Before I went to Tivoli then Madrid, you'd just been yourself whilst I'd just started planning! Looks like the same thing is happening with Europa :p

Taron is an absolutely stunning coaster. The entire surrounding area and everything about it are just breathtaking. The coaster part is excellent too. The airtime wasn't as good as I hoped, but there is so much more to it. The launches, near misses, fast transitions and environments all make it one hell of a coaster. It's super smooth, comfortable and re-ridable. In all honestly, it feels so much more like a Mack than an Intamin in every way (except the launches).

As for the other stuff. A public forum is not really the place to discuss it. You know better than that. And it actually has nothing to do with you anyway so....yeah...jog on.
Yes, quite.

Back on topic please!

[Edit - Furie]As everyone ignored Hixee, I've cleaned up the topic and warned those involved.

Ok, Ka and Smiler, I'll take that, but what's wrong with Mummy? It's got fire! Lots of fire!

^There's nothing wrong with Mummy at all, great ride, my fave coaster at Universal, but the fact it's above Toro makes me a little sick. Onions is Onions tho.
