I am proud to say my home coaster Superman made #1. It is the best afterall.

Goliath at SFoG was my #2 coaster, to have it at #10 is awesome.

As was I impressed with SheKra's spot at #11.

What I wasn't impressed with was Kumba's spot. Wow. Apparently I am the only one who thought that coaster was not very good at all.

Everest...well it could have been higher but yes for Disney that is very good.

What killed me though is SFoG's Superman Ultimate Flight made #99...and it was the only one to break the top 100. !!! I thought that it was amazing and it is one of my top 10 by far!

And Borg Assimilator...fine it wasn't spectacular but it was good...and to have DEJA FREAKIN VU be rated higher than it?
: I have less faith in the human race now.

^ I agree with Superman at SFOG. I actually prefer the Supermans (I've ridden SFOG's and SFGADV's) over Tatsu.
