:think It's a tough one to be honest.

I must admit there are a few rides which are really close to being my best ride. However, the best ride for me has to be the Pepsi Max Big One for one main reason. The fear factor the ride still gives me. Even though I've ridden it so many times - the climb to the top of it's sheer lift hill, and then the first drop still makes me nervous and scared! And it's about one of the only rides that does this to me.

I suppose because I went on this ride at a very young age then there's a lot of fear associated with my first ride on the metal beast!

Put it this way.

Water Ride: Valhalla
Steel Coaster: Steeplechase (to an extent)
Woodie: Grand National

I need not explain anymore :)

I guess I'm going to be out on a limb here - it's ok, I'm used to that :D

My favourite is the Wild Mouse. It took me a long time to summon up the courage to ride it. (It has scared a lot of people - including my mum!) But I love it - I come off it every time with a big grin on my face.

Second favourite would still be the Nash.

I know what Aly means about the PMBO though - that lift hill used to get to me every time. But somehow I am a lot less nervous about rides than I used to be. Probably because I was a late starter, and only started riding coasters frequently about 3 years ago.

Got to be the PMBO for me, even after years of ride time, the first ride of the day still gives me a freak out, and also its the longest non soaking ride in the park :)
