I was able to find 27 lists. I took the 27 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every ride. I ended up averaging the rankings each one got and dividing that average by a factor of the number of lists it was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.
The roller coasters that were on the most lists (out of 27) were:
- Kingda Ka – Six Flags Great Adventure, USA – 16 lists
- Formula Rossa – Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, UAE – 14 lists
- Steel Vengeance – Cedar Point, USA – 12 lists
- Superman: The Ride (Bizarro) – Six Flags New England, USA – 12 lists
- Fury 325 – Carowinds, USA – 11 lists
- El Toro – Six Flags Great Adventure, USA – 11 lists
- The Voyage – Holiday World, USA – 11 lists
- Maverick – Cedar Point, USA – 11 lists
- The Smiler – Alton Towers, UK – 11 lists
