But if future coasters are to be included, I would have to say Hydra and Silver Bullet in there somewhere too..

Wicked Twister
M Force
Boulder Dash
The Beast
Hulk

And the most anticipated is Hydra of course.

BobFunland... Lightning Racer is great, good choice.

Magnum... Storm Runner is awesome! You won't be disappointed.

Boulder Dash
Nemesis
Expedition: GeForce
Tremors
Superman:Krypton Coaster

And when it comes out.....

SheiKra!!!!
-This one looks absolutely ridiculous. In my eyes, a MUCH superior looking coaster to Kingda Ka. Too bad the GP won't see it that way.

I've been on many of the ones people mentioned. MF, Montu, Hulk, and Ghostrider will not disappoint. Although WT is good, Hercules, it just isn't in the caliber that some of these others are.

--------------------
-Millennium Force=Ultimate Coaster
-SROS (sfne)=Airtime Heaven!
-Montu=Best Coaster With Inversions
-Hulk's Launch=Best Element out There
-Top Thrill Dragster=INSANE!!!!!!

Red Rascal....

I wish that you could have ridden SROS before the restraints were altered. I have not ridden it since then, but I've heard that they greatly hurt the ride. I am so glad that I had the chance to ride SROS before the accident. It's simple:

SROS at SFNE, before the new restraints, was quite simply the most amazing overall coaster ever created. It had everything - speed, height, hills, g-force, amazing layout, tunnels, nice setting, and most of all it was the AIRTIME KING!

I hope that SFNE can do something about the ride. It would be a shame to see a great ride be messed up like that.

As long as it gives a good ride, I'll be a happy camper. I'm not too big on airtime, so it shouldn't have a big effect on my ride experience.

Thunder Dolphin does look unique, if anything. If I'm correct it also has the world's steepest lift hill, excluding vertical ones. Katun looks great and big, but from what I can see only has the standard B+M inversions.

In the past two years I've gone to many of the biggest parks to ride lots of the biggest, top-rated coasters. Now however, I'm more into finding the unique ones that are a little off the beaten track. That's why I want to ride Tremors. So little is known about it yet it looks great. I doubt I'll get out there though to the middle of nowhere. A couple European coasters also catch my eye. Expedition GeForce looks amazing with all those hill and that twisting first drop. Most of all, I so badly want to ride Nemesis. Those trenches and tunnels make that ride so unique. Its supposed to be one of the more intense B+Ms and also has a great layout.

It won't be soon until I get the chance. Come May 2005, I'll be on my way to HersheyPark for the first time and that will definitly be my first coaster to run for. Looks awesome and it has a very unique design. I look forward to it...

OK, you obviously like Hercules, and Im assuming that you have ridden Lightning Racer and edit: Wildcat too (with their proximity to Dorney). Well, Thunderhead is a very easy coaster to explain as to why it is so good, contrary to battleflag's statement.
Go here to read the reviews, and that will begin to lead you down the right path. Thunderhead is, to begin with, a beautiful coaster nestled in a nice valley with trees everywhere surrounding the beast of timber. The first drop is awesome, particularly from the front seat in the Milennium Flyer trains which make it so much more open as you fly through the track, and the back seat provides a typical whipping action down the first drop as it twists wildly to the right and into a banked turn and up into a marvelous overbanked turn. That is just the beginning of the coaster that has airtime all over the place, a ton of head choppers (which contribute to the 32 track crossings that Thunderhead offers), and the best lateral movement on a coaster that I have ever experienced. The coaster also has a fly-through station, in which the track guides the trains through the station just 8 feet above the exit platform at 40 mph. Unless you get onto the first ride of the day, you will experience a fly-through, and the thunderous roar of the train blazing through the station. Also, the ride is operated well, as the ride ops, all seemingly full-time, really know how to operate their gem, and I only once saw a train sitting on the blocks. To me, this coaster was better than almost all of the coasters that I have been on, wood or steel. I don't know, I hope that answers your question, if not, read the reviews.

Yes, thank you, that was a very good explanation. I'm thinking it is something like Twister at Knoeblels then? It seems so with that many crossovers. The pictures look pretty good, but I never really understood why everyone raved about it. But thanks for that and I hope to get on it sometime in my life.

Yes, to me, without having ridden Twister yet and only relying on photos, I would say that they could fall into the same category.
