Unrelated, but on the topic of Ka; I can never decide whether to put it and Dragster in my top ten, myself, because while they have amazing launches, they're such one-trick ponies and I always want to put something...more substantial in their place. :?

 

[Naemuti]

Yeah, I used to have that problem too.

Then I just stopped caring, honestly. If you want to make a top ten, go for it...it's part of the fun of being an enthusiast. Personally, I just see rides as "fun" or "not fun" any more. If it's fun, it's in the "fun" category. If it's not fun, it's in the "not fun" category.

Kingda Ka is "fun."

You make a good point there. Kingda Ka definitely IS fun. I'll keep it then.

I have a fair few 'one trick ponies' in my top ten purely for the fact that all the coasters I have chosen do that 'one trick' really quite well and I'd rather ride something like Oblivion, that is just amazing at what it does, to something like Sheikra. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Sheikra, but I don't find it as thrilling as Oblivion because it gives you too long to get over and almost forget the intensity of the drop, whereas with Oblivion that is all you really get, so you leave the ride feeling exhilarated and thinking 'Wow, that drop was instense!'. See also, Stealth.

 

[Naemuti]

I actually thought Sheikra was kind of boring, should I start running now?

 

[nadroJ]

To be honest, I rode it back in 2007, while it still had it's floor, maybe now it's floorless it'll change my opinion of it =]

And what I meant about SheiKra is the fact that I didn't come away from the ride just thinking about the drop, but rather the ride as a whole and I found that, like I said, distracted the attention away from the intensity of the drop, whereas Oblivion you'd be pretty stuck to focus on anything but =]

Jerry once told me that to ride Boulder Dash is like the best sex you've ever had, multiplied by ten. Are the rumours true because that is a lot to live up to haha XD

I suppose I can't make a valid comparison, but Boulder Dash is quite amazing, 'specially in front.

EDIT to UC: If Taylor is a credit now I think she'd be to me what Boulder Dash is to her. :wink:

I completely agree.

Where does Taylor rank?

Just below Boulder Dash

Can't complain .

Haha but I'm confused.. I don't have my Boulder Dash cred.

Jordan - don't worry, I give it about a year until Taylor is a credit half the members here have.

Yah right way to make me look like a slut!

 

[MinteButtons]

Well, I have only been on ten coasters , so here they are with my ranking.

1) Nemesis, Alton Towers
2) Air, Alton Towers
3) Runaway Mine Train, Alton Towers
4) Shockwave, Drayton Manor
5) Sonic Spinball, Alton Towers
6) Troublesome Trucks, Drayton Manor
7) Beastie, Alton Towers
8) G Force, Drayton Manor
9) Buffalo Coaster, Drayton Manor
10) Catapiller, Barmouth Pleasure Park

Hopefully I'll be able to get on more coasters at Alton next year, because I can't see another park happening any time soon.

 

[CMonster]

I'm really not good at doing any top ten lists, let alone lists for coasters... here goes though.

1. Manta, SWO
2. Montu, BGT
3. HRRR, USF
4. Sheikra, BGT
5. Talon, Dorney
6. Possessed, Dorney
