7. Hurler
8. Ricochet

I highly suspect that Fury 325 will take 1st.

No, I'm not insane, I am not a fan of Carolina Cobra and I actually think Crabbie Cabbies has a few good pops of airtime at the end.

Tough call at the bottom of the list for which deserved the last spot between two of my most hated coasters ever. This also made me realize that while the park has a lot of coasters, there aren't really a lot of good ones. It will be an awesome big 3 next year, though.

I'm surprised that Nighthawk is rated so low on many lists--it feels like there is always a pretty long line (but admittedly it moves very slowly). Also I went on the Vortex 13 years ago and it was pretty fun, then went on it this year and it felt like I was receiving a wedgie the whole ride. I'm not sure if it is me or the ride that changed.

My list is:
1. Intimidator
2. Afterburn
3. Nighthawk
4. Thunder Road
5. Carolina Cobra

^I think Night Hawk is fun, but for the ride it provides, it doesn't deserve half of the line it gets.

I'll stand in line 2 hours to ride Intimidator and maybe Afterburn, but thanks to the capacity, the lines don't stretch more than 30 minutes. Night Hawk is worth a 30 minute wait, but any longer than that and I'm going off to ride the B&M's.

Yeah I can see that. I agree that the line for Nighthawk is usually not worth it...for me it's the 3rd best ride in the park but probably has the worst line.
