As far as standups go for me:
1. Chang
2. Iron Wolf
3. King Cobra
4. Mantis
5. Vortex (Carowinds)
6. Shockwave (PKD)
I still contend that B&M have never made a *bad* coaster, but Vortex @ Carowinds was close. It just didnt *do* anything. It was small in size like Iron Wolf, but not as compact, hence, it didnt have all of the "whippy" snap-turns. I also rode in the front (I almost always ride IW in the back), but after that ride, I didnt care to return, not with Thunder Road & Top Gun calling me =]. And I dont know why, but I thought Chang was so much better than Mantis, especially in the diving loop. I thought Chang was gonna fly off the track. I rode Mantis in '96, '97 and '01 and it was never as good as Iron Wolf. But Chang, IMO, dusted both of them.

2)King Cobra(airtime on a Stand-up!! Close #2:))
3)Mantis(much lower than KC! not as boring anad slow as Chang but hurt more)
4)Chang(boring, slow, liked the dive loop, but not enough to pack a punch)
