I know my Top-10 may seem a bit surprising :P
When I rode Flug for two days, the magic seat was 6R (last row on the right). It was just pure fun, had good flow and nice inversions. Taron on the otherhand while it is amazing and the second part knocks socks off, it lacks inversions and sustained airtime... Technically flawless and no doubt what Phantasialand ordered, but I guess I liek them loops ;)
(Dragon Khan was also before Shambhala, also while running very smooth.)

A bit of explanation for Taron being my #1. While I know the ride objectively isn't as good as others on my list, it's my personal favorite ride and the one I enjoyed riding the most.
This list will probably change this summer as I'm hoping to add a few more RMC's to it. I'm already anticipating Steel Vengeance becoming a new #1 for me.

I rode in that row and still found the ride disappointing. I liked the first three elements (drop, air hill, immelman) and thought those were executed well but the rest of the ride was very slow and forceless. Also in the latter part of the ride you could feel every track joint as the train bounced over them. I honestly prefer Wild Eagle to it and that's saying a lot.
count is 260
1: Lightning Rod
2: Top Thrill Dragster
3: X2
4: Maverick
5: Fury 325

10. Manta - SeaWorld San Diego
I rate rides based on how much I would like to marathon them at sunset with a friend, after having eaten a basket of chicken tenders and fries.
What a random criteria
Maybe so, but it's a very good criteria for figuring out what your favorite rides are VS rides that you merely enjoy on an above average scale.

I won't give a top 10 since I've only been to two parks, maybe later in the year I will, but I did want to say a couple things. Firstly, you can escape markdown by adding a \ to what you want escaped. For example, if you don't want markdown to parse a numbered list into an actual ordered list, you can do 1\. etc, and it won't parse it. I'm going to be updating the markdown guide shortly with this as I just learned about it.
The other thing is that Coaster Count does have an api that I can use to integrate it with on to NLC. I've had an api key for about a month I just need to implement it. Basically you'll be able to hook your Coaster Count profile up to NLC, and it will display your total coaster count (and maybe more?) on your profile. I think this can still be a topic though, I still haven't looked at what all the API offers, but that's something that will be added.
This sounds cool, cant wait!

This was a thread on NLE a while back, thought I would revive it to see how people's lists might have changed since
I currently have a CC of 143, should be over 200 at the end of the year
and here are my top ride lists:
Threw in flat ride and dark ride rankings too for a bit of fun as well. What are your guys's top 10's like?
