Dropped in my rankings!

Tagging in late, but mostly aligned with the rankings! (Though recognize Steel Curtain is still newer) 1 Skyrush Hersheypark 2 Ravine Flyer II Waldameer 3 Storm Runner Hersheypark 4 Steel Curtain Kennywood 5 Great Bear Hersheypark 6 Phantom’s Revenge Kennywood 7 Lightning Racer...
