Kind of odd to see certain coasters ranking so highly when you split it up like that, actually!
 
Since my most recent thread on this topic is properly buried, I’ll post in my old thread.

Steel
  1. Steel Vengeance
  2. X2
  3. Skyrush
  4. Maverick
  5. Fury 325
  6. Kumba
  7. Twisted Cyclone
  8. Storm Chaser
  9. Millennium Force
  10. Superman: TR SFNE

Wood
  1. Lightning Rod
  2. El Toro
  3. Outlaw Run
  4. Voyage
  5. Boulder Dash
  6. Phoenix
  7. Beast
  8. Cyclone Coney Island
  9. Comet Hersheypark
  10. American Thunder
 
I like this idea. The two are different experiences, (well El Toro maybe not) and as my quality has improved lots of deserving woodies will get dropped, likewise some superb steels may miss out.
Steel:
1: Wicked Cyclone
2: MForce
3: Storm Chaser
4: Skyrush
5: I305
6: Maverick
7: Lightning Run
8: Superman (SFNE)
9: Storm Runner
10: Kumba
WOOD:
1: Voyage
2: Phoenix
3: El Toro
4: Boulder Dash
5: Mystic Timbers
6: Lightning Racer
7: Grizzly (KD)
8: Legend
9: Raven
10: Beast

Oof that wooden list is a bit rough and yes no RF2. Beast wasn't great but at least I got off thinking it was enjoyable. And was less rough! RF2 surely is a technically better ride but I simply didn't get much from it.
Hopefully I can get some better ones on there.
 
Steel:
1. Fury 325
2. Twisted Colossus
3. Skyrush
4. Full Throttle
5. Xcelerator
6. Kumba
7. Montu
8. Afterburn
9. Space Mountain (WDW)
10. Goliath (SFOG)

Wood:
1. Lightning Rod
2. Phoenix
3. GhostRider
4. White Lightning
5. Thunderhead
6. Flying Turns
7. Twister
8. InvadR
9. Apocalypse
10. Giant Dipper (SCBB)

Plus more to come this Summer in the midwest.
 
I guess I'll check out mine as well.

Steel
1. Skyrush
2. Millennium Force
3. Nemesis
4. Maverick
5. Mako
6. Top Thrill Dragster
7. Storm Chaser
8. Twisted Cyclone
9. Wicked Cyclone
10. Nitro

Wood
1. Lightning Rod
2. Beast
3. Phoenix
4. Boulder Dash
Voyage
Thunderhead
Roar-O-Saurus
Yankee Cannonball
White Lightning
Blue Streak

The woodie list is a tricky because I only have four woodies in my Top 30, and I don't rank them beyond that. Rest is sort of out of order. Voyage, Thunderhead, RoS, and Yankee Cannonball are definitely in there. That left White Lightning and Blue Streak...also considered Raven and Comet @ Hersheypark, but only got one ride each on those.
 
I’ll parenthesise the overall ranking beside the coaster.

1.Intimidator 305 (#1)
2. X2 (#2)
3. Expedition GeForce (#3)
4. Twisted Timbers (#4)
5. Kärnan (#7)
6. Shambhala (#8)
7. Maverick (#9)
8. Black Mamba (#10)
9. Behemoth (#12)
10. Iron Rattler (#13)

Wooden:

1. Phoenix (#5)
2. El Toro, SFGAdv (#6)
3. Wildfire (#11)
4. Outlaw Run (#15)
5. Goliath, SFGAm (#22)
6. Roar O Saurus (#30)
7. Lightning Rod (#34)
8. Troy (#36)
9. Ravine Flyer II (#41)
10. Balder (#43)
 
Yeah, Roar O Saurus > Lightning Rod is one of my new favourites. Just above Roar O Saurus > Taron, Roar O Saurus > Skyrush etc etc. Roar O Saurus is crazy FIERCE! It’s the best <3
