I have only ridden Shockwave at Drayton Manor Park. Its was cool, and it was a good experience. I think that Ridelers Revenge and Mantis look the best. They are gaint compared to the tiny UK coasters. Georgia Scorcher looks like it has a few tight turns, because the track is so close together.

I have only been on two: Riddler's Revenge at SFMM and Vortex at CGA. One is awesome, and the other is mediocre. Can you guess which one I like better? ;)

Out of the total 4 stand ups I've been on two being B&M, Riddler's wins this one hands down. Best layout, tallest, longest, fastest. What's not to like?
Total:94, steel:69 wood:25 According to Coaster Counter

Top 5 Steel: Magnum XL-200; X2; Maverick; Alpengeist; Tatsu
Top 5 Wood: Apocalypse; Beast; Mean Streak; Blue Streak; Shivering Timbers

Save the Mean Streak!!!

I enjoy all stand-ups at least a little.

Big Stand-Ups (I like these all about the same)
1. Green Lantern
2. Riddler's Revenge
3. Mantis

What I like about these are the long layouts and the fun inversions and forces, including both positives and bits of airtime. I recall Green Lantern being the most intense; in fact, the Batman-like forces were a bit much for me at times.

Lil' Stand-Ups (I like these both about the same)
4. Iron Wolf
5. Vortex (CGA)

I thought both of these were fun. They were rough, but had decent little layouts.
