Let's play a game! I saw something similar done on another site and thought it might be interesting to try here. Since this is a coaster discussion forum, I will attempt to stay true to form. I will ask a question in the style of 'Which is more exciting?' and then I will give 2 choices: this or that! Everyone can give a response in short or in detail-I don't care. I will wait a few days before moving on the next question. Anyway, enough with the introduction, let's try it and see how it goes and we will play the rest by ear.
Ok, which is more exciting?
A tight, twisted layout or a spread out, expanded one?

Haven't been on Power Tower specifically, but I have essentially been on both types of towers, and up is more exciting for me. (Hmm, that doesn't sound quite right out of context...)
Which is more exciting for you, in general, to ride: a brand new ride at your favorite park, or a classic ride with great reviews that you've never been on?

Depends on the park, if it's a classic, it might not be around for much longer (Hint Hint Flyer Comet) So probably the Classic.
Vekoma or Arrow

Wooden first drops freak me out more, so I guess those would be more viscerally exciting for me.
Which is more exciting, lots of inversions or lots of airtime? (I think I already know the concensus on this one, but I thought I'd ask anyway...)

Ah, well, I suppose they are quite similar, although, in my defense, they could, in theory, be answered differently.
I think immelmans are more exciting than dive loops.
Which is more exciting, an overbanked turn or an airtime hill?

I haven't been on either, but if I were to ride one, I would ride Maverick because it looks way more exciting and fast paced.
Which is better, El Toro or Voyage.
