alton towers does rock but there is nothing like shiekra in Busch Gardens 
90 degree drop hanging over the edge of a 200ft drop for 4 secs 0-70 in seconds

Im off to california next year, six flags has 16 different coasters supposed to be some real good ones there
http://www.sixflags.com/parks/magicmountain/Rides/list.html
Superman goes from zero to 100 miles-per-hour in just seven seconds. This ultimate roller coaster towers a record-breaking 41 stories into the sky, leaving riders in the air for 6.5 seconds of weightlessness! It is the first ride to reach speeds of 100 miles-per-hour.
X is the world's one and only fourth dimensional roller coaster! Xperience the Xtreme on X!
also doing the disney and universal parks too.
