1. Shambhala
2. Nemesis
3. The New Texas Giant
4. Wodan
5. Silver Star
6. Blue Fire
7. Furius Baco (i'm sorry)
8. Stealth

10. Dragons Khan
 
May as well do something more up to date....
  1. Nemesis, Alton Towers
  2. Troy, Toverland
  3. Wild Mouse, Blackpool Pleasure Beach
  4. The Smiler, Alton Towers
  5. Joris En De Draak (Fire), Efteling
  6. Black Mamba, Phantasialand

  8. Winja's Fear, Phantasialand
  9. Colorado Adventure, Phantasialand
  10. Joris En De Draak (Water), Efteling
 
A five place difference between th two sides of Joris? Interesting. I'd place them one after the other myself. (Also with Water just being the better of the two, but there's not as much in it as there is with Winjas.)

Compared to the epic ride of fire in the bouncing down rain, water seemed calm. I am about to do a full revamp of my list however (need Smiler to reopen as well to place it)

Winjas are in a different league, Fear has Sonic and Dragons Fury between it in terms of spinners, whereas Force only rates above Rockin Roller (Bottons) and Fantasy Mouse (Fantasy Island). There are 22 rides in between them in total.

Tonight I shall be redoing my list as it hasn't been sorted properly since the euro trip and needs to be thought over instead of lobbed together with the 'new ride' syndrome

I don't follow?

Inferno should never appear on anyone's list, unless they have only been on ten coasters or less.

After about 7pm it runs brilliantly, meaning that on Fright Nights by 10pm it is very close to being on par with Nemesis at AT IMO. I don't rate it as highly during the day but it's still my favourite at Thorpe.
 
Why not :)

1.) Wodan - Europa Park
2.) Nemesis - Alton Towers
3.) Smiler - Alton Towers
4.) Shambhala - Portaventura
5.) Blue Fire - Europa Park
6.) Dragon Khan - Portaventura
7.) Colossus - Thorpe Park
8.) The Swarm - Thorpe Park
9.) Silver Star - Europa Park
10.) Shockwave - Drayton Manor

I agree with Diogo, Inferior is just that and should have never beared the name Nemisis, it's not even in same league.

My list changes all the time and can often be controversial. But this is, I guess, where it stands at the moment:

1. Wodan (Europa)
2. Stealth (Thorpe)
3. Megafobia (Oakwood)
4. (Dare I say it?) Furius Baco (PA)
5. Shambhala (PA)
6. Superman (Parque Warner)
7. Katun (Mirabilandia)
8. Helix (Liseberg)
9. Tornerre de Zeus (Asterix)
10. Dragon Challenge (IOA)

It's very changeable all the time and has in the past featured some that I've really shocked myself with.

I really wanted to disagree with the masses on my first visit last year but sadly I couldn't. :(

I found it to be a very uncomfortable experience. I can ride The Ultimate no problem but Furious Backache was too much. I rode it once in 3 days. The launch is great and intense but after that it's sheer torture. It's no wonder they haven't sold anymore.
 
1. Nemesis (Alton Towers)
2. Wild Mouse (Blackpool)
3. The Swarm (Thorpe)
4. The Smiler (Alton Towers)
5. Saw: The Ride (Thorpe)
6. Grand National (Blackpool)
7. Vampire (Chessington)
8. The Ultimate (Lightwater Valley)
9. Avalanche (Blackpool)
10. Stealth (Thorpe)
Now on 44 credits.
 
1] Helix - Liseberg
2] Manta - SeaWorld Orlando
3] Nemesis - Alton Towers
4] Blue Fire - Europa Park
5] Shambhala - PortAventura

Updated from my first visit to PA, with the removal of The Smiler from my Top 10. Just don't rate nor enjoy it as much as I have done in the past.
 
1) Shambhala
2) Nemesis
3) The Swarm
4) The Smiler
5) Stealth
6) Dragon Khan
7) Wild Mouse
8) Oblivion

My top 10-

1. Twisted Colossus (Six Flags Magic Mountain)
2. Shambhala (Port Aventura)
3. Nemesis (Alton Towers)
4. Tatsu (Six Flags Magic Mountain)

My top ten could very well change come July with my first trip to Phantasialand. Really looking forward to seeing how Black Mamba and Taron stack up. :D
