Favourite Ride
Shambhala (PortAventura Park)
Hi guys. I am aware that many of you (myself included) keep a top 10 list and have a favourite coaster, so I thought it might be interesting to talk about our favourite roller coaster from each country or region that we've visited. I'll get the ball rolling with mine:
  • UK: Icon (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)
  • USA (Florida): Mako (SeaWorld Orlando)
That's the extent of my foreign travel, I'm afraid! But what are you guys' favourite coasters from each country (or region if the country is particularly large e.g. America) you've visited?
 
UK: Nemesis
France: Oz'iris
Germany: Wodan
Norway: Speed Monster
Sweden: Helix
Denmark: Rutschebanen (Tivoli Gardens)

I'm off to Florida in May and hopefully will get to go to The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Poland and Finland in the near future :)
 
Belgium: Psyké Underground
England: Nemesis
France: Oz'Iris
Germany: Blue Fire
Netherlands: Troy
Norway: Speed Monster
Poland: Lech Coaster
Spain: Shambhala
Sweden: Helix
USA: Manta (ask me again in 5 months)
Wales: Fforestcoaster
 
UK: Nemesis
Belgium: Anubis the Ride
USA: Kumba
Singapore: Battlestar Galactica: Cylon
Malaysia: Supersonic Odyssey
Indonesia: Jungle Coaster (my only credit there)
China: Bullet Coaster (Happy Valley Shenzhen)
Hong Kong (if counting separate from China): Hair Raiser

That was easier than I thought it would be actually!
 
UK: Nemesis
France: Oz'Iris
Belgium: Anubis
Netherlands: Troy
Germany: Wodan
Spain: Shambhala
Sweden: Helix
Denmark: Dæmonen (or Rutschebanen, hard to call)
USA: Steel Vengeance

Then as the USA is so vast, here is a breakdown by State:

Florida: Kumba
Illinois: Goliath
Indiana: Voyage
Kentucky: Storm Chaser
Missouri: Outlaw Run
New Jersey: El Toro
Ohio: Steel Vengeance
Pennsylvania: Skyrush
Tennessee: Thunderhead
Virginia: Intimidator 305
Wisconsin: No coaster at My. Olympus deserves a mention

Hades 360 is the worst coaster I have ever ridden. A vile thing that should be ripped down.

Ah right; I suppose Hades is a somewhat polarising ride. Thanks for the clarification @Rob!

I went to PortAventura in 2007, but I can't remember much about the coasters and was too much of a wimp/too short to ride anything big, so I'm not counting Spain. Hopefully I'll be getting to some European parks soon, and a revisit to Florida is definitely needed.
