My Favorite Coasters

What goes into making up one’s Top Coasters listing? It’s a question that many enthusiasts debate endlessly. For me it is a combination of the ride’s elements, setting, theming, and the memories I have of the ride. Some of my picks might surprise you, especially since I have credits from parks of all sizes – everything from Cedar Point, all the way down to a Fun Fore All Family Fun Park.

In late June 2021 this page was redesigned into a more streamline fashion. Instead of the numerous drop down menus displaying all the coasters on a single page, I have instead listed my Top 10 Overall, Top 10 Wood, and Top 10 Steel Coasters below. For those who still wish to see how the rest of my credits rank, you can click the button below for a Complete Ranking List.
