El Toro without a doubt, its full of airtime and highspeed turns, not to mention its tall height and cable lift.

Mean Streak, it rocks.
No, I've never done Mean Streak. My favorite by view was Son of Beast, and my favorite woodie that I actually did ride is Robin Hood in Walibi World.

Mine is a tie between Prowler and Screamin Eagle.
Both in Missouri.

EDIT: And I suppose I should mention The Mega Zeph and how much I miss it :(

El Toro without a doubt. After that it's probably the Beast, seeing as how I haven't been on many quality woodies.

I really like Lightning Racer at Hershey Park. One of the very few woodies I've ridden, but it's a great coaster. Even better is that it's a racer and it has a lot of old types of turns and drops.

Viper @ SFGAm. Great airtime in the back car. CPs and Mt. Olympus woodies weren't anything special. And American Eagle has been trimmed to death the last few years.

Hands down, Toro. Absolutely insane drop, phenomenal airtime, very smooth, and great layout.

Uh, Blue Streak, because it's packed with airtime. And because it's the only other woodie I've ever ridden.

Which Side? I personally preferred yellow/lion.

Been on a bunch of woodies, but my favorite is still Coaster. Some of most insane airtime on any ride out there.

Well, i don't know how you think about it Koen, but i thought Troy was a LOT better than Robin Hood ;) But i must agree about the fact that the if-i-don't-fasten-my-seatbelt-too-good-i-will-be-thrown-out-of-the-car experience that Robin Hood had with the old restraints, that was awesome ;)

So, Troy was the best woodie that i've rode so far, but i hope to ride Mythos next year or so :)

El Toro, absolutely mind blowing. Prowler should be mentioned because in a awesomeness over wait time equation Prowler would beat out El Toro because I rode in about 15 in a day due to lucky circumstances (almost rain, Sunday in the Bible-belt, early in the summer).
