Now we just have to wait for the Wildfire shoe to drop. Based on personal conversations with Marcus... you may be surprised. :razz:Snoo said:Ranking below for me (bold I've ridden, italics I will ride this year):

I need to go back to California. I also have not looked at Wildfire in a while in an effort to be surprised (same as I did for Lightning Rod). I have a clear preference for topper as they're more unique and just plain better IMO.

I kind of have that feeling with Storm Chaser and Wicked Cyclone. They're the only ones I've ridden but it was still about what I expected, so they're not quite in my Top 5.Snoo said:it lacked that 'omg.. what just happened' that I felt with both LR and Goliath.
That's a very good way of describing it, there aren't many coasters which give that WTF moment, Wildfire doesn't, but it's highly enjoyable without blowing your mind.Snoo said:As I said in my Top 10 post, Wildfire looked and delivered like a suped up Outlaw Run. However, it lacked that 'omg.. what just happened' that I felt with both LR and Goliath. That being said, the ride is still incredible and delivers but without that kick I felt from others that really pushed it forward, it didnt quite live up to what I was expecting. Of course, its my #5 coaster overall so its not like its horric by any means. Just, not as good as those above it.

Dat Stall tho <3
Agree on the ending, it's almost like they wanted the final inversion to be the end but had to RCT it back to the station.Snoo said:I think the way both end plays a part in it too. Goliath and LR pound and pound with incredible element after incredible element and then have you flying into the brakes. OR and WF both go into the brakes at a much slower pace, albeit Outlaw leaves you wanting more as its relatively short.
I would like to note that, unlike most crazy woodies, the front is seemingly better than the back. Ive found that the case on nearly all RMC rides thus far.
I do agree tho. That stall blows you away.
No way in hell Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler are the worst two.....Imagineer Josh said:I tried to make my 3rd list as unbiased as possible.
