This is a stick up!  Get it? Stick.... Nevermind, it's a train robbery.  I want everyone to get your hands up and act scared.

Thats tough....

All four of the big coasters are probably my favorite of those types of coasters.  I have favorite things about each ride and can't really say which is the better one.  I'll answer like this...

WF: Lift Hill and first drop is spectacular....has to be one of the best views in the country on a coaster and makes the drop feel even more epic than it actually is.
PK:  Best air time in the park....first two hills are extremely fun.
TNT: Amazing mine coaster:  the helix into the tunnel is one of the coolest family friendly coaster moments around.
OR: Most intense (without hurting) coaster I've been on....great adrenaline rush of a ride from end to end.

Then FiTH of course:  A must ride every trip....lately I like to think about how many people have actually ridden that right.  It's a modern day right of passage for the kiddos in our area and just plan fun to ride.

Frankly.....If I get a spin on all 5 of those rides during a visite then I'm a happy camper even if I don't do anything else.
