I haven't been on that many but I would have to say that mine would be Casino at Frontier City. It is one of those rides that spins you around. Then it goes up and down. Me and some of my friends rode it. They put their hands up and almost fell out. We all kept our hands on the bar from that point on.

Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom

Black Widow - Kennywood
I don't know what model this is but it's super way better than Giant Frisbees. 86% because the restraints aren't horse blinders, 4% because the cycle is longer, 10% because it stops spinning for a full arc then rotates in the other direction several times during the ride cycle

Also Swingshot(Kennywood) is my favorite S&S Screamin' Swing. Way smaller than SkyHawk but the ride cycle is easily 3x as long or more.

-KMG Fireball-Somehow they seem more intense than I remembered Delirium being despite being much smaller.
-KMG Speed-One of the most intense and forceful flat rides I've been on thus far. They don't call it "Speed" for nothing. Kinda reminds me of a Rock-O-Plane on steroids, but with far less capacity and uncontrolled flipping. Not nearly as nauseating or scary as it looks IMO.

Hence that one previous signature I had about wanting a Speed in my backyard.
-Tempest-It may not look like much but it's pretty forceful and more intense than it looks.
A video of one in action in case you're wondering:

I really enjoy drop towers, whether its S&S or intamin. Sadly though the only Intamin I have been on is Demon Drop.
What are these for?

- Dr. Doom's drop towers at IoA
- "Slingshot" rides. The ones where they put you in a cage and fling you straight up.
- Sky dive rides. The ones where you pull the rip cord and swing.

Since a few years there is a new thrill ride touring through Holland. It's called Inversion XXL and it's now my favorite thrill ride :D .

I also like the Huss Frisbee XL very much and the topspin is also in my top three.

Those old Chance Falling Stars. I loved The Banshee at Holiday World, I was absolutely heartbroken when it was removed.

But I guess If I had to Choose a non-coaster Thrill? The Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror. Definitely.

There is no flat ride more exhilarating than X-Scream at Stratosphere, so I would say that is my favorite. Big Shot is unreal as well!!

MaxAir is a great ride. It surprised the hell out of me.
