Out of the compact coasters I've ridden, I like S&S El Locos and Gerstlauer Spinners the best.

To me - the Compact A. Schwarzkopf-Coaster(s):

Quadruple-Loop "Thriller", Triple-Loop "Dreier Looping" and the Non-Loop but Airtime-Coaster "Himalaya Bahn" (since 1998 under the name "Alpina Bahn").
Also (of course) the (former portable) Shuttle-Loop III "Wiener Looping".

L and T's mini coasters are extremely small, but still deliver air time and some nice drops. (Runaway Train at Gillian's Wonderland Pier in Ocean City, NJ).

I'm sure one person's definition of 'compact' is different than another person's, but for me (and there will be those out there who think I'm crazy), Deja Vu was one heck of an awesome ride. Big, fast, intense, and always a rush. Also, Avalanche (what I'll always call it) at Timber Falls is a totally crazy and awesome ride for such a small footprint. If I ever was able to make it over there, however, I'd say Twister at Grona Lund looks ridiculous. :)
I smell like fresh cut spring flowers spewn across a babbling brook with a hint of lemon. |:D

Insane and Twister, for sure.

Howcome nobody has mentioned the S&S El Loco's yet?
They look to be really awsome, for the footprint they use!

Also, Zamperla's motocoasters seems to be delivering a pretty fun ride, for a wild mouse footprint.
Nr 1 Liseberg and Gröna Lund fanboy!
Piraten is *the* roller coaster (after finally riding Expedition Geforce, I'll admit, it was pretty freaking awesome to!) .

No Eurofighter love? Any Eurofighter is a fun little tiny coaster.

For the amount of space it takes up versus the amount of forces it delivers, Insane wins this contest.

I'd have to go with Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFDK. It packs a serious punch in such a small space. And that drop after the roll. :airtime: :airtime:
