  • Coaster Reviews List

    Below is a complete list of my roller coaster reviews. I haven’t reviewed all of the 180+ coasters I’ve ridden. To see a list of all of the roller coasters that I’ve ridden go to my Complete Ride List under About. I invite readers to request reviews of any roller coasters that I’ve ridden, but haven’t yet reviewed.

    You may notice that there are quite a few 8s, 9s, and 10s. Generally, people don’t want to read about the coasters that I’d give 4s, 5s, 6s, etc. I typically review the most popular or interesting coasters which quite often end up being some of the best around. See my Rating Scale to learn more about how I rate roller coasters. And be sure to check back for new reviews.
