Jesus, been ages since I updated this list, new in Bold, re rides in Italics;

1 - Katun - Ermagherd, absolutely loved my back row ride on this one, so intense, just how I like them.

2 - Montu - Full of force, with a wonderful layout and the Batwing, back row Batwing is amazing.

3 - Oz Iris - I really enjoyed this. It has lots of grace, airtime and some excellent inversions. Also a big fan of the theming.

4 - Nemesis - Not much to say, except I haven't ridden the new version yet. Loved the OG.

5 - Afterburn - Re-rode this year and it was even better, Batwing is the highlight obviously.

6 - Talon - Solid invert, best ride in the park, with some force and a bit of airtime. Another re ride this year, it's super good, up she goes.


7 - Alpengeist - A tale of two halves; 1st half, absolutely amazing. 2nd half, boring. Front row was better for the 2nd half but nowhere near as intense in the first half. Back row was super intense and I loved it, then I hated it once it did nothing after the mcbr.

8 - Black Mamba - More of a floaty invert rather than intense, much preferred the front of this than the back.

9 - Monster (Grona Lund) - Lovely views, good first drop and a few near misses, the tree on the left especially, also has a good airtime hump near the end. Good quality invert.

10 - Banshee - First ride was horrible, down the bottom of my list, but got a couple of great rides at the front later on. Won't ride in the back though, just constant positives isn't nice.

11 - Raptor - Yes there's a couple of dead spots but the final helix is fab, it has a great first half and it makes a gorgeous sound!

12 - Patriot - Very similar to Talon, best part was the airtime hill and a good drop, the Zero G was also good, but the rest was a bit meh.

13 - Batman (SFGAM) - My fave of the Batmans, better theming, atmosphere and I've ridden it backwards too.

14 - Batman (SFGAdv) - Good rides, very forceful at the back, don't mind a quick spin on these, but can't do more than 3 in a row.

15 - Shadows of Arkham - Parque Warner - Rides exactly the same as the others

16 - Batman (SFStl) - Good rides, very forceful at the back, don't mind a quick spin on these, but can't do more than 3 in a row.

17 - Nemesis Inferno - Poor compared to the others, lacks force and snap. Though I'm sure I'm biased because the OG was so good.

18 - Dragon Challenge (Fireball) - Quite liked the red side, but it's near the bottom of the list compared to the others.

19 - Great Bear - Not a fan really, the loop and Immelmann are good but that's all. Nice views of Skyrush tho. Re rode this and it's not gotten any better

20 - Dragon Challenge (Horntail) - Had a great Zero G but that was all I liked about it, felt like the drop was totally wasted, lots of dead spots of straight track or long turns, hence bottom.
 
I get to add some new ones!

1. Montu - BGT - they just don't build them like they used to.
2. Alpengeist - Busch Gardens Williamsburg - da fuq did I just ride? The placement, the theming, the MASSIVE expense of inversions across the first half are some of the most on-point roller coaster-ing out there. Stuff tamed down after the second half (advantage to Banshee for not having MCBR), but absolutely loved the g-force, speed, and especially night ride.
3. Banshee - Kings Island - it's an original design with so much g-force. My only qualm is not very re-ride-able, but by far one of the better B&Ms of recent history.
4. Afterburn - Carowinds - Man, they don't make them like this any more! Smaller, but lots of tight, small inversions.
5. Raptor - Cedar Point - Come at me; this is one of the best ideas Cedar Point ever had. It still remains a forceful ride 24 27 years later; a lesser second half compared to today's standards is easily forgivable. It still has one of the best zero-g rolls and cobra rolls out there.
6. Great Bear - Hersheypark - And you said Raptor has a dwindling second half? This ride is very underrated for it's quirky layout - I still really enjoyed its flow of inversions!
7. Patriot - Worlds of Fun - It's a perfectly fun ride, but like Talon, doesn't offer an edge over other inverts.
8. Talon - Dorney Park - Great ride, very standard.
9. Batman the Ride - Six Flags Magic Mountain - It's blue.
10. Batman the Ride - Six Flags St. Louis - not blue.
11. Batman the Ride - Six Flags Great Adventure - yellow!
12. Batman the Ride - Six Flags Great America - the original!

13. Batman the Ride - Six Flags Over Georgia - blue again.
14. Batman the Ride - Six Flags Over Texas - yellow!
15. Chinese Fireball - Islands of Adventure - Better than the other half, but still feels like half a ride.
16. Hungarian Horntail - Islands of Adventure - Just felt... slow.
17. Silver Bullet - Knott’s Berry Farm - Honestly quite fun to ride, albeit more tame than other inverts.
18. Phoenix Rising - Well yes it's going to be last in this ranking, but first in our hearts <3
