I vote for Dueling Dragons in Universal Orlando as the best and most exciting any coaster ever. Fire and Ice you can't beat it, just wear tennis shoes or something with a heel in it there or you ride barefoot.
Rampage in Alabammy is the best wooden

Don't feel bad. I was a kid when they were building the first Disneyland and the talk was that that Disney was going to lose his shirt because Anaheim was so far out in the sticks. That was in the days when Orange County meant trees, not graffiti.

Viper is great, Collosus is so fun for an old wooden coaster, and there's another one whose name I can't recall with a vertical drop that will take your breath away.

I need to take a month long road trip to visit all these great rides!

Me too.
I am scared to go over there. Coaster was great though! Went once for curiosity when it opened. Have not been NEAR it since. I take my chances in Atlanta and Orlando for Coaster fun time now.

Hands down the best roller coaster ever. If you crave acceleration, deep dives, and the feeling of an old wooden rickety roller coaster that last for approx 5 minutes, this one is for you.

Heres one I don't have the oblongs to try: Hulk in Orlando. Anything that has catch nets has to be pee yourself scary.
