2. Boulder Dash - Lake Compounce
3. Fury 325 - Carowinds
4. Wicked Cyclone - SFNE

6. Millennium Force - Cedar Point

9. Goliath - SFOG
10. Griffon - Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Honestly #1-5 are tough for me to rank and I would probably put them in a different order if I tried again tomorrow.

Millennium Force is kind of just stuck in the middle of the ranks because I don't really know what to do with it. It blew me away when I rode it years ago and became an instant favorite. I've considered it my #1 for years, but I rode it so long ago that I'm not really sure that it would still hold up if I rode it today. I figure it still belongs in the top 10, but I'm hesitant to put it higher.

 

[YUNG_CHOPPA]

[nadroJ]

After this weekend's rides I've had a bit of a shuffle:

Skyrush
El Toro
Helix
Iron Rattler
Nemesis
Shambhala
Bizarro
The Voyage
Oz'Iris
Dodonpa

After riding Helix multiple times on Friday it's just shot straight up the list. It's the perfect blend of every kind of element, something for everyone and really reaches a crescendo, like a fine piece of music. Gorgeous.

And yh, weird that iron Rattler has appeared out of nowhere. So after riding Wildfire on Saturday I had a little think about RMCs and what I specifically loved about them. The more I think the more those sweeping cliffside drops on Iron Rattler really do it for me.

 

[Ben]

Bold new, and Balder has shot up because it's obscene.

1. Skyrush
2. Helix
3. Boulder Dash
4. Mountain Flyer
5. X2
6. Wildfire, Kolmarden
7. Outlaw Run
8. Balder
9. Iron Rattler
10. Goliath (SFoG)
11. Wicked Cyclone
12. Boardwalk Bullet
13. Shambhala
14. Voyage
15. Bizarro
16. Fury 325
17. OzIris
18. Intimidator
19. Leviathan
20. Colossos
21. Fireball
22. Extreme Rusher
23. Goliath (WW)
24. Nitro
25. Behemoth

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

I shuffled things around a bit and also added one coaster to my top ten, and took Goliath out because it's short and overrated.

Wildfire- This is everything I want in a coaster. Just amazing fun, and it wasn't as short as the other RMCs which tends to be what RMC coasters fall victim to in my opinion. The airtime wasn't the strongest on any coaster I've ever been on which is a shame otherwise it would have absolutely blown my mind, but it really does have such a good mix of everything.

Wicked Cylone- If it were a bit bigger I reckon it'd still be number one, but for such a compact coaster it lasts a long time and packs quite a punch

Voyage- This was my #1 for 6 years and would absolutely still be there had they not RUINED it by taking bits of the train off and making the trims stronger.

Toro- Haven't been on it since 2007 so my opinion might be skewed a bit but I remember it being amazing.

Bizarro- Love it... Great mix of airtime and twists and turns, but not overly intense.

Skyrush- Just insane with insane airtime.

Outlaw- Kinda like really good sex but from a two pump chump. Really amazing for how long it lasts, but it doesn't last long enough.

Iron Rattler- Falls victim to the same thing as Outlaw Run. **** amazing but is cut short.

Boardwalk Bullet- Still the surprise of the century... Loved every minute of it but don't know how good it would be in the day.

Boulder Dash- Over rated but still amazing. Has great airtime, and a nice setting. I wish I rode it in its prime or on a "good day"

New entries for this year in bold.

Wildfire is quite amazing and feels similar to Helix in that it does such a variety of stuff, follows the terrain, and is just a lengthy wonderful coaster. I just feel that Helix is still quite a bit better in almost every way. More intense, more forces, better airtime, more elements, better pacing. Wildfire is still incredible and finally something to fill the gap between Helix and Shambhala.

Balder moved up a couple of places after finally having a great ride on it at night, after loads of rain and with a wonderful group of people. It actually had good airtime this time around.

 

[Snoo]

I love that so many folks love Wildfire. Ya'll NEED to ride the other RMC's for those who haven't.

If you look at my sigi you can see that it still is. :wink:
I wasn't paying attention and thought I copied my last post, but it was actually the second to last one. It's fixed now. :--D
