The fifth drop on Raven and the first drop on Wildfire are my favorites
Definitely the Raging Bull's (back) first drop!
The Runaway mine train at SFOT in the back seat !! it is awesome !!
Orient Express. There is a long straight-away which sets you up for an incredibly steep drop.
Viper in SF Great Adventure. Other than the fact that it turns, then DIVES, the coils on the track. seem to make the drop steeper than it really is. Not even Nitro beat this drop.
Only suspended coasters and the grizzly @ pkd give me that feeling.

formaly known as great american hamburgers!
I've been on a few hypers but Wildfire's first drop is the best i've experienced. It's so steep and it rocks in the back seat. Airtime all the way down.
SFMMLORD and RAVENGUY98 are right on. I would have to give the nod to ARROW coasters and my particular favorite...DESPERADO just 30 minutes south of LAS VEGAS. Just got back from there and ...MAN WHAT A FIRST DROP!!! 225 FEET INTO A TUNNEL AT 78 DEGREE ANGLE. Enhancing this is the view from the top...looking out over the Nevada desert....SIMPLY AWESOME!!! It reportedly has a top speed of near 90 mph probably due to the fact that it is usually over 100 degrees when most people ride. If you EVER get to Las Vegas don't miss out on DESPERADO!!!!(30minutes south on I-15)
The Villain, Millennium Force, Raptor "Back row, right car", Magnum, and THE COMET at Hersey Park. I swear everytime I went down the first drop on The Comet, I had my hands up but by the bottom of the drop they were clung to that lapbar! If I didn't hold on to that lapbar, I would fly out of that car!

On the top of Magnum's second hill I'am the one who screams, "I can see Canada!"
Millennium force in the back seat
American Eagle or Viper @ SFGAm.
I'm down with the whole las vegas theme. You got desperado, Canyon blaster and big shot. All have wonderful drops. The best would be Canyon Blaster.

Ghostrider = good
The Rattler at Fiest Texas! I rode that a few years ago, and that first drop scared the hell outta me! I couldn't believe how steep and curved it was. Whoever mentioned Demon - I agree! It has a kink in it (like the OLD Riverside Cyclone drop) that makes the train drop out from under you. Is the Demon in CA the same? I've heard it is not as steep... Our Demon in IL, you can even see (from ground level!)the uneven weld on the track backbone where this kink is.
The first drop on the Georgia cyclone used to be tops, until the ripped it up. The original Coney Island Cyclone still has a kick butt drop!
-------------
Ow! My lap bar IS down all the way.
RAPTOR--any seat...gets me EVERY time!
(and that's why it's still my fav. inverted)
iLie on this one its the littelest coasters that get me such as wild cat and corck screw at CP. MF did a lil but it wasent they type i get from a S&S turob DRop it was more of a flying felling sam thing with Nitro. but the only coaster that can always give me the whole butter lfy feeling is defintaly the Coney island Cyclone in Brooklyn NYC. and its so close to me only a 30min train ride. oh wait also Gemini at Cp and Viper at SFGAdv anything steep! or sudden. oh yea i forgot the say dosent it seem that alll the coaster that hold you down with a harnest and have a stragith drop rather then curved to the left or right give you more of that butterfly effect? i think it dose no matter how steep or not becuase your doing one thing going straight and there nuthing but negative g's for the first sec or 2

Brooklyn in da house!!! Anyway, now that I got that off my chest I would have to say all Intamin hypercoasters give me that feeling.
