I'm going to put a slightly different spin on this thread this evening and ask; according to Captain Coaster's April 2025 World Roller Coaster Rankings (https://captaincoaster.com/en/ranking/?filters[continent]=&filters[country]=&filters[materialType]=&filters[seatingType]=&filters[model]=&filters[manufacturer]=&filters[openingDate]=&page=1), what should your top 10 be (aka what are the 10 highest ranked coasters you've ridden in that list), and how does that compare to your actual top 10?

According to Captain Coaster, my top 10 "should" be:

1. Iron Gwazi - Busch Gardens Tampa
2. VelociCoaster - Islands of Adventure
3. Shambhala - PortAventura Park
4. Hyperia - Thorpe Park
5. Mako - SeaWorld Orlando
6. Nemesis Reborn - Alton Towers
7. Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure - Islands of Adventure
8. Montu - Busch Gardens Tampa
9. Wodan Timbur Coaster - Europa Park
10. Manta - SeaWorld Orlando

My actual top 10 is:

1. Shambhala - PortAventura Park
2. Mako - SeaWorld Orlando
3. VelociCoaster - Islands of Adventure
4. Silver Star - Europa Park
5. Iron Gwazi - Busch Gardens Tampa
6. Hyperia - Thorpe Park
7. Wodan Timbur Coaster - Europa Park
8. Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure - Islands of Adventure
9. SheiKra - Busch Gardens Tampa
10. Wicker Man - Alton Towers

So overall then, I'd say I at very least strongly like most of what Captain Coaster suggests my top 10 "should" be according to popular consensus. The ones that aren't in my top 10 mostly loiter somewhere in my top 20, with the only glaring exception that I don't overly rate at all being Manta (which languishes down at #78/134 for me).

Interestingly, Captain Coaster's consensus seems to think that I rate Silver Star (should be my #13, is my #4), SheiKra (should be my #15, is my #9) and particularly Wicker Man (should be my #27, is my #10) notably too highly, of the things in my top 10!

 

[RicketyCricket]

Should be...

1. Steel Vengeance
2. Zadra
3. RTH
4. Pantherian
5. Maverick
6. Untamed
7. Wildcats Revenge
8. Gotham City Escape
9. Toutatis
10. Voltron

RTH and Maverick are too high and not in my top 20. Steel Vengeance is my clear number one, the rest are all in and around my actual top 10.

 

[Bowser]

I had to get to 32 before i hit my first coaster, seems like i'm missing out on a lot! Then had to get well into the list. At least it did correlate with my personal number 1.

"Should" be:

1. Flying Dinosaur (32)
2. Hyperia (37)
3. Stealth (131)
4. Hollywood Dream (142)
5. Goliath (162)
6. Swarm (190)
7. Thunder Dolphin (197)
8. Revenge of The Mummy (212)
9. Superman Ride of Steel (221)
10. Wickerman (226)

I was also thinking of what were just generally my favourite rides and i noticed to my surprise it's quite coaster light...

1. Flying Dinosaur
2. Tower of Terror
3. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
4. The Flying Dutchman
5. Revenge of the Mummy
6. Mandrill Mayhem
7. Wickerman
8. Symbolica
9. Superman
10. Jurassic Park Rapids

Generally i like my dark ride scenes and heavy theming with my thrills it seems!

 

[John_P]

1 Steel Vengeance - Cedar Point
2 The Voyage - Holiday World
3 Zadra - Energylandia
4 Maverick - Cedar Point
5 Voltron - Europa Park
6 Ride To Happiness - Plopsaland De Panne
7 Baldur - Liseberg
8 Taron - Phantasialand
9 Batman Gotham City Escape - Parque Warner Madrid
10 Helix - Liseberg

So that's my actual top 10, based off of captain coaster of what I've ridden it should be...

1 Steel Vengeance
2 Zadra
3 Ride To Happiness
4 Maverick
5 Untamed
6 Batman Gotham City Escape
7 Toutatis
8 Voltron
9 El Toro
10 Konda

So that's coasters from 1 to 21. I should be riding another 3 of the current top 20 this summer as well.

My list "should" be

1. RtH (makes my top 50)
2. Batman GCE (probably around top 10)
3. Toutatis (in the top 30)
4. Voltron (top 20)
5. Taron (top 30)
6. Helix (top 40)
7. Hyperion (top 40)
8. EGF (top 20)
9. Shambhala (top 25)
10. Hyperia (probably just about scrapes top 75)

Actual top 10 I think, stopped really tracking for now

1. Nemesis
2. Zadra
3. Katun
4. FLY
5. Wodan
6. Shadows Of Arkham
7. Lech
8. Stunt Fall
9. Batman GCE
10. EGF

Cool idea!

Actual top 10 / Captain Coaster top 10

1. Steel Vengeance / Steel Vengeance
2. Voltron / Zadra
3. Maverick / Ride to Happiness
4. El Toro / Fury 325
5. Intimidator 305 / Intimidator 305
6. Wildcat's Revenge / Maverick
7. Ride to Happiness / Untamed
8. Fury 325 / Wildcat's Revenge
9. Skyrush / Toutastis

Having said that, other than my top 3 I'm really not sure about my top 10. The most great coasters you go on, the harder it is to place them.
