Here's my thoughts on some people's suggestions - and yes, I have ridden them.
S:ROS - simply the best.
NITRO - also very good.
AC - doesn't compare to Nitro.
PR - just ride S:ROS and you'll forget the Phantom
Magnum - nice air, but alittle too rough
Steel Force - what air?
as for wood
PHOENIX - oh my god!
JACK RABBIT - massive airtime on double dip but none elsewhere
Haven't done Shivering Timers, or Raven, but they won't evade me for long!
Also good: Riverside Cyclone (back seat), GASM and Georgia Cyclone @ SFOG, Grand National @ BPB, Villian and Big Dipper @ SFWOA
