So when I rode Griffon for the first time (which by the way if you didn't know is 5ft taller and you wouldn't think so, but it does make a little difference) got me stoked to ride again and again and again. Can't wait to go back at Halloween and ride again.

Loch ness is your old friend who graduated college first and got married first so he stopped going out drinking with you when you were maybe 22. Apollo's Chariot is the over-achiever straight-A friend who's also really attractive and popular but hasn't let any of it go to his head which is yet another reason you secretly hate him/wish you were him. Alpengeist is the art major friend. He's a little odd, a little emotional, a little all over the place, but if were any different he wouldn't be him. And Griffon is the guy you've always had a crush on and even though you haven't told him yet you've already named the kids.

I miss BBW. He was your best friend you've known since childhood. You could always rely on him for a fun time, but sadly he moved and you don't really keep in touch anymore. : ( RIP wolf.

Fur Dozy said:I would have to give Apollo the cake. Being a frequent visitor, replay value is huge. I've ridden that ride til' I was sick (believe it or not it is possible after about 30 or so rides in a row) and I still wanted to ride it again. Griffon is good but it's has a similar feel to Apollo and is allot shorter (and ironically repetitive).
Alpie is fun but for some reason it gets kinda boring after several run-throughs (still a great ride when its packed with 25 obese tourists). Loch is good looking but is a bland ride (plus you leave 2 inches shorter if you ride in the back). Bbw was a good ride but, alas, it is no more.
Here's my ranking:
(rumored flying coaster here just for the sake of it)
Apollo
Alpengiest
Griffon

Loch Ness Concussion
