Unfortunately English. Footballer, racing driver and filmmaker... Just three things that I am not. I like roller coasters, football, going fast, going away, and fluffy things.

Day 24, possibly interchangeable with number 3, but by virtue of being ridden first and being a bit more unpredictable, #2 is Iron Gwazi. A big, beautiful behemoth of wood and steel, the death roll is wonderful. Operations are crap though.

Day 23, into the top 3 with the ballistic, and bloody stupid ArieForce One. Probably would be one spot higher had I ridden it before my number 2, but it's absolutely insane, the quad down is a bit too much however - had to stop after 16 rides on it.

Day 22, #4 the coaster formally known as I305... Big, intense, beautiful. Wish it didn't have the trim, the original drop profiling, and was ever so slightly longer, but still it's a beast of a coaster.

Day 21, #5, and the highest ranked B&M I've done, Shambhala. Partially put here to add a bit of variety from the constant Intamins and RMCs in the top 10, but a exceptionally good hyper. Don't have a photo of it though.

Day 20, at #6 is Expedition GeForce, not re-ridden it since 2010 hence its lofty position (possibly), but it has an incredible first drop in the back, airtime galore, pretty good forces and aggression. Do need to get back to Holiday Park though.

Day 19, #7 Another surprise hit for me, Wildcat's Revenge, the 3 newest I-Box RMCs are my three favourites. Really started to up their intensity, shame they've seemingly slowed their production now.

Day 18, in at number #8 is Maverick, intense, fun, punchy launch, unique layout, shame about the old-school Intamin restraints, but a fantastic ride.

Day 17, #9 the best RMC in Europe, and also the smallest, Untamed. Lots of airtime, really fun and unique elements, reasonable force, and lasts a decent time too.

Day 16, and #10 possibly. I had one ride on Colossos at Heide Park 15 years ago. It's hard to judge a coaster on one ride, but I remember it being astounding. Where it would rank if I rode it more and now though; who knows...

Back on track now with day 14 and #12 Wonder Woman at Fiesta Texas. The opposite of Steel Vengeance, overly short, but stupidly aggressive. Had a blast lapping it, this is what raptors should be.

Whoops, I missed day 13 and #13 Steel Vengeance. I feel obligated to put it on my list even if I wasn't overly wowed by it. It is glossy smooth, bloody long, and full of airtime. Just isn't varied or aggressive enough for my tastes. Clearly world class still.

Day 12, another double whammy, but I can't separate these two beautiful beasts. Both at the same park, both incredibly immersive. Taron and F.L.Y. are both stunning. I need to ride them both some more to really figure out which is better.

#20 Outlaw Run - All the topper track RMCs are much of a muchness, and this is the middling offering. Still a very good, fun ride. Is it actually my #20? Probably not, but nothing is really in a settled spot outside my top 5.
