Top Coasters

While each of my Park Impressions ends with an overall park rating, I don't think I've ever rated a coaster with a number in one of them. Numbering coasters is mostly arbitrary - for that reason, take these with a grain of salt. There is some basis for my ranking however, and for that reason I've decided to list them. Regardless of their numbers, all of these coasters are excellent, and my personal favorites.
