Ok...to relate this to one of the Great America parks, also list your favorite Santa Clara coaster -- past or present. This can be in addition to your California top five.

I'll give you my top 7 because it's hard to choose 5.

Space Mountain at Disneyland
California Screamin at Disney's California Adventure
Top Gun at Great America (Of course)
Invertigo at Great America
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland
Demon at Great America
Survivor at Great America (if you could call it a coaster)

These were in no specific order, But Space Mountain is defenitely my favorite of all time.
I miss Tidal Wave

2) Invertigo

4) Top Gun
5) Demon

*Survivor is NOT a coaster because it does not run on gravity.
