Definitely Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. All the other parks in the world are constantly trying to measure up to Cedar Point. But the funny thing is that let's say Six Flags over Georgia gets a giant new roller coaster. Cedar Poitn gets one bigger and better the next year. Then Six Flags over Texas gets one. Then Cedar Point tops them. Cedar Point is the only one that year in and year out can upstage everyone else. Everyone can only go bigger and better once every few years.

Cedar point has the Raptor, Millenium Force, Mantis, Magnum, and plenty of others that kick the crap out of every other theme park. Discovery Channel has named them the best every year for the last 8 years as well.

WOOD COASTERS

Boulder Dash
Lake Compounce, Bristol, CT
Located anywhere else, this wonderful roller coaster

Las Vegas Roller Coaster
at New York-New York Hotel Official Site!
www.NYNYHotelCasino.com
Great airtime, smooth ride, relentless speed from start to finish: You name it, the out-and-back Boulder Dash has it. The fact that it is built into the side of a mountain and careens around trees and boulders, however, pushes it to the top of the list.

Raven

Holiday World, Santa Claus, IN
The roller coaster that proves the adage, "size isn't everything," Raven packs delerious airtime and out-of-control speed into its 90-second ride.

Shivering Timbers
Michigan's Adventure, Muskegon, MI
Built by the same company that designed Boulder Dash (Custom Coasters, Inc.), this is a similar out-and-back coaster with similar airtime and relentless speed. No mountain here, though.

GhostRider
Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park, CA
Another Custom Coasters, Inc. creation. These people really knew how to build new-age wood coasters (The company went out of business in 2002). Most of their monsters seem to defy the laws of physics and somehow override the effects of friction to keep the roller coaster trains screaming until the brake run before the station. GhostRider is no exception.

Cyclone
[Astroland at Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY
Sure, there may be "better" roller coasters. But this is one of the originals and holds a special place in the hearts of fans. It's not the smoothest ride (one fan I know likened the first drop to riding down the steps of an 85-foot ladder). But the Cyclone is nostalgic, yet surprisingly vital after all these years.


STEEL COASTERS

Superman: Ride of Steel
Six Flags New England, Agawam, MA
Speed, airtime, G-forces: This hypercoaster gives riders the perfect combination of everything a great roller coaster should have and never stops giving it from the moment of the first terrifying drop until it returns to the station. An instant classic.

The Incredible Hulk
Islands of Adventure, Universal Orlando, FL
Islands of Adventure, Universal Orlando, FL A launched roller coaster unlike any other. It must be ridden to be believed.

Millennium Force
Cedar Point, Sandusky, OH
The coaster-lovers' park that first gave us a hypercoaster (Magnum XL-200) topped itself with this 310-foot "giga-coaster." It's such a long way up, it uses an elevator cable to speed the trains to the top of the lift hill instead of a traditional chain lift.

Dueling Dragons
Islands of Adventure, Universal Orlando, FL
Actually two roller coasters (the Ice side gets the edge if I had to pick a favorite), either inverted coaster on its own would be a winner. Coming within inches of one another during a series of insane "fly-bys" makes the tandem a killer coaster experience. It's worth waiting the extra time to sit in either of the front rows; the fly-bys are much more intense.

Desperado
Buffalo Bill's Casino, Primm, NV
One of the early hypercoasters, its enormous, yellow track is an ominous sight as you travel the interstate between L.A. and Vegas. Of all the roller coasters I've ridden, this one produced the most sustained free-floating airtime. What a rush! It's simultaneously exhilarating and terrifying -- and that pretty much defines a great roller coaster experience.

i recognize Knott's berry farm, and that i recognize Six Flags Magic Mountain. the in difficulty-free words down area to those, is the lines are horrid. I went to 6 Flags Marine international, and one line replaced into see you later!! The wait replaced into like 4 hours. And at Disneyland, this is relaxing too. yet I went there and the anticipate this gay searching Nemo holiday, the position you flow underwater in a submarine, and seem in any respect styles of pretend movie star fishes and fishes, replaced into heckkkkka lengthy. The wait replaced into 7.5 hours. Soo, however. i replaced into staring at the shuttle Channel and it suggested that Cedar element had severe rides. And that is alot of funn. Knott's berry farm, it has a holiday called the "preferrred Scream" & it is going up instantly like veritcal and it is going 252 ft in the air and also you in basic terms drop and bounce. it is so creeeepy yet relaxing.
