Interesting to see that you have Flug der Damonen in your top 10 (and above Taron!) I really didn't like that ride and found it disappointing.

I know my Top-10 may seem a bit surprising :P
When I rode Flug for two days, the magic seat was 6R (last row on the right). It was just pure fun, had good flow and nice inversions. Taron on the otherhand while it is amazing and the second part knocks socks off, it lacks inversions and sustained airtime... Technically flawless and no doubt what Phantasialand ordered, but I guess I liek them loops ;)

(Dragon Khan was also before Shambhala, also while running very smooth.)

Current count is 84

1) Shambhala (not influenced by a certain someone, god no)
2) Olympia Looping (7 cars
3) Sheikra
4) Stealth
5) Tower of Terror 2
6) Furius Baco
7) Cheetah Hunt
8) Manta
9) Montu
10) Dragon Khan

Here's my top 10 out of 71 coasters ridden

1 - Flug Der Dämonen
2- blue fire Mega Coaster
3 - Lost Gravity
4 - Krake
5 - Expedition GeForce
6 - Colossos
7 - Karacho
8 - Schwur des Kärnan
9 - Saw - The Ride
10 - Pulsar

Interesting to see that you have Flug der Damonen in your top 10 (and above Taron!) I really didn't like that ride and found it disappointing.

I'm about half way through going through my write-ups (can't speak for the other judges, I'm trying to motor through them thanks to time pressure) and wow the quality is high this time around. I haven't found any rides that scream terrible at me and I have 5 or so contenders for my personal favourite. Well done to you all.

Total: 118

1. Helix - Liseberg
2. Expedition GeForce - Holiday Park
3. Schwur des Kärnan - Hansa Park
4. iSpeed - Mirabilandia
5. Junker - Power Park
6. Flug der Dämonen - Heide Park
7. Taron - Phantasialand
8. Wildfire - Kolmården
9. Dragon Khan - Port Aventura
10. Piraten - Djurs Sommerland

Awesome contest, awesome results!!!

Feeling so bad that I joined the central just yesterday
and therefore couldn't participate in the contest.

One quick question: what do these NLC points mean?

The first years Robin Hood was a very good woodie imo. The problem I think is that the Vekoma trains are 6 seats and also very heavy, hence the added roughness. Some years ago they also changed the restraints which have tighten a lot during the ride. That change made the coaster a sort of no-go for me. I think that GCI with thei MF trains might also have been able to fix it though. I do prefer the RMC method though. I'm also wondering if they are going to add many inversions. Currently the park has 5 mayor rides of which only 2 are inversionless. Adding inversions to Robin hood might not be my favorite idea.

Ah, my mistake. Has anyone here experienced them? How do they ride? Vekoma's past dip into the world of wooden coasters has always fascinated me.

I like the ride, yes it's rough but I love a bit roughness but to some it's way to rough. (BTW I've ridden it over a hundred times because I work at Walibi Holland and the excitement is real that I can possibly become the operator of the first RMC I-box of europe :D)

I have no idea what my count is but my top 10 goes something like this:

1. Expedition GeForce
2. Taron
3. Karacho
4. Swarm
5. Smiler
6. Sky Scream
7. Speed (Oakwood)
8. Nemesis
9. Megafobia
10. Mammut
