Space Mountain: De la Terre a la Lune at DLRP (now Mission 2). Rough, but I enjoyed the Jules Verne theme, and the layout was quite fun.

Space Mountain is best for overall ride experience.

Flight of Fear is best as far as the actual coaster goes.

Revenge of the Mummy is the most well themed while on the ride (mostly due to the dark ride section).
Top 5 Steel: Bizarro (SFNE), Tatsu, Maverick, Kingda Ka, Top Thrill Dragster
Top 5 Wood: El Toro, Voyage, Boulder Dash, Thunderhead, Ravine Flyer II
Top 3 Parks: Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Holiday World, Cedar Point
TPR Trips: IntimidaTour 2010, North East Trip 2011, LeviaTHON 2012

1. Space Mountain at Disneyland as its soundtrack gives it a whole new dimension and narrative. Plus, I appreciate that it isn't just a coaster in the dark, its a coaster set in outer space.

2. Revenge of Mummy Hollywood - Good dark ride section but why is the coaster taking place in darkness? It seems random, why not rushing through giant pyramid.

3. Mummy Orlando - Same reasons as Hollywood except poor poor poor pacing with much more cheese.

4. Space Mountain Florida - No soundtrack = lame lame lame lame lame experience.

I've been on a whopping TWO!

1. Refurbished (as well as Rockin' and GG) Space Mountain @ DLR
2. RotM @ USH

Ever since my first ride on it, I have LOVED Space Mountain. I was fascinated by the com chat in the queue, the visual effects, and - duh! - the ride. The overlays were also neat, so there ya go.

My favorite is and will always be Fire In The Hole at Silver Dollar City!
Although Verbolten is a close second! ;)

Winjas for the win.

I'm a big fan of how Black Diamond turned out at Knoebels, but ROTM at USO is another one of my favorites.

The following three are at the bottom of the list in my book.
X:No Way Out
Space Mountain at DLP
Bullfight Coaster

2. Space Mountain - Magic Kingdom

3. Disaster Transport - Cedar Point

4. Blazing Fury - Dollywood
