Ah, no problem, larry. Just explaining my rationale in the first place.  And I agree, reading comprehension is very important.

Got_it, what I meant is that you're obviously going against the grain with several of your top-10 choices. The tendency to reject popular opinion is something I find interesting and is usually something I respect, at least when it's grounded in an informed, experienced, sincere point of view. Some people, on the other hand, buck convention just to get a rise out of others, without really having any sound basis for the views they espouse. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, especially when they express a preference for wooden roller coasters, but I can also understand why experience has led others to err on the side of skepticism.

Well I don't know how I can prove it, but I really do like the Cyclone and Wild Cat, I could understand why you would be skepcital though, but I think my review for the wild cat is proof enough that I really do like it. But I haven't been on too many coasters, so I don't know I bet if I rode Voyage, that might change my mind or something.

I think I'll actually answer the question at hand rather than argue:
My top 4 (even though the topic said 3) consist of El Toro, Kingda Ka, Nitro and Talon. I'd pick Nitro I think.

If you really meant that you wouldn't have thrown that jab in.
My top 4 are Balder, Phoenix, Voyage and Nemesis. I would scrap Voyage because I am a selfish bastard and I could taunt all the people who waited a year to ride it.

^That's some good words of advice from a new member. Plus it proves that is not just our "old timers" who have had their fill.

Well of my top 3, personally, I wouldnt want any of them destroyed. I think I would have my number 3(Nitro) destroyed. Thinking of that almost breaks my heart. The reasoning for this is Kraken at Sea World is basically the only coaster there. Destroying it would take away any reason why I should ever go to that Park. Montu is in my opinion the most complete coaster I have ever been on from beginning to end, and is themed so well and in great condition. Nitro, although its awesome, is one of many coasters at six flags great adventure. They have 4 B&M's, and although this one is one of the best, without it, the park would still have many great coasters.

1. Revenge of the Mummy
2. Montu
3. Incredible Hulk
4. Spiderman
Of those four, Spiderman would have to go. It's an amazing ride no doubt - but it loses it's excitement a lot quicker than the others. Plus, new and better simulators will be around a lot sooner...
