1. El Toro - with the exception of the somewhat small track length for a woody its size, ET has everything going for it that I like. It's a smooth wooden coaster with LOADS of airtime, high speed, strong lateral Gs, a surprise finish with the 61 foot airtime hill, and is easily re-rideable.

2. Nitro - being that it was my first B&M hyper, I had a special experience as the airtime hills were great, the hammerhead element was intense, the coaster trains are super roomy and comfortable, and it's really fast. I also can never look past the intricate color scheme the ride's working with.

3. Millennium Force - how can I not like this 310 ft. superstructure? The first hill is unbelievably fast, the two tunnels were a nice effect to compliment the coaster's high speed, and I liked the overbank turn toward the station. The only flaw with this coaster is the lack of airtime hills as there are only 4 of them and most of them were floater air, but Millie is still a fun coaster all-around.

4. Phantom's Revenge - the ride may be short, but packs a walloping punch. I have not ridden it since I was 15, but how can I forget the extremely comfortable trains, the powerful 232 ft. second drop, insane amount of ejector airtime, and the use of the coaster's terrain and scenery? It had it all and I cannot wait to go back and ride this beast again.

5. Phoenix - a Top 10 coaster on most enthusiasts and fans' list. It may not be the tallest, fastest, or longest woody, but you cannot help but fall in love with all the airtime this thing packs with every hill encountered. The best seat's definitely the first car in the third row. It will remain a classic woody that is great for the kids to start riding and non-stop fun for adults too.
