While I can say that I've only ridden two of the coasters listed (El Toro & The Beast), I think The Beast should be higher on the list. I'm also sad to see Lightning Racer isn't on the list.

Wodan! Come on! Its 115 kph, it's not that tall, okay, but it's a great ride! Come on!

My opinion is limited because I have only ridden 3 of them, all this summer… El Toro, Phoenix, Ravine Flyer 2. They are all among my favorites. I'm planning on hitting Boulderdash, the Beast and hopefully Holiday world and Dollywood next season. They all seem worthy of the list.

The only one of these I've ridden is Boulder Dash. I have no complaints about its inclusion on this list; it's certainly the greatest woodie I've ever ridden by a considerable margin.

My hometown woodie, Georgia Cyclone, is so underrated

New Texas Giant is on the steel coasters list. Check back for a post on that list tomorrow.

I was really surprised that Wild Eagle was the only Winged Coaster in the Top 50 this year. And rides like Leviathan, X-Flight, and SkyRush were behind the Radiator Springs ride and Wild Eagle for best new ride. Overall I don’t like the Golden Ticket Awards. They never get it right.

Are the hybrids from Rocky Mountain classified as steel or wood? Because if they are considered wood, than I would think the New Texas Giant would be in the top ten.

Sounds like a trek of a life time indeed. I've done a couple of multi-park trips, but they don't usually include more than one top-notch park.
