I haven’t ridden any of them, but I’d say that Kondaa and Alpina Blitz get my votes in this group.

 

[MattyH]

Only done Colorado Adventure here but gonna give the votes to Monster and Alpina Blitz.

 

[RicketyCricket]

Kondaa and Monster.

Not been on either but the latter I believe is a clone of the brilliant Raptor at Cedar Point.

 

[John]

As of this summer I've now done all of these (though I've not done Avengers since the retheme).

Kondaa is clearly the best ride here so that's my first pick, choosing the other was slightly more difficult though.

Neither launch coaster in this group deserves to go through so I ruled them out straight away, leaving 3 to choose from. Of the others I didn't rate Monster as highly as I thought I would (this surprised me as CP's Raptor is a former top 10 for me). I think in part that's due to it being in poor condition and partially due to Walygator being incredibly depressing.

That left Alpina Blitz and CA vying for my 2nd vote. I probably could have voted tactically by voting for both of them and not Kondaa but in the end I went for CA. It's an enormously fun ride, probably the most exciting "family" coaster ever built. It's got good theming and enormous capacity so it pretty much ticks all the boxes.

Kondaa was the easy winner for me there. Then it was between Alpina Blitz and Monster. Unlike John, I was not a massive fan of Raptor at Cedar Point any maybe because of this, Monster exceeded my expectations. I do really like Alpina Blitz, it is great fun, but I went for Monster in the end.
