I am not into big (edited) roller coasters anymore but I LOVE Guardians. I think it’s the best roller coaster / experience.

My favorite all time regular roller coaster is Velocicoaster at Universal Orlando.

Overall has to be Guardians the best. 🏆 There really isn't anything to compare it to.

It's hard to compare as sometimes the theming really factors into the ride system for me.

My 1-4 also pick the top coaster in each park for us.

Currently on the plane home fresh off of every single one of these roller coasters (except big thunder)

1. Guardians. I was surprised by how much I liked it.
2. Tron. Our only gripe is it’s too short of a ride.
3. Space Mountain (my son says his #3 is RRC)
4. Rockin Roller Coaster
5. Mine Train
6. Big Thunder (loosely based off of DL version)
7. Expedition Everest
8. Slinky
9. Barnstormer

That's probably how I would rank them right now. 4-7 are somewhat interchangeable IMO. I probably ranked Space as 7 because of getting jerked around more than the others.
 
I know everyone will put Guardians first but I have vertigo and am scared to ride it so haven't done it. So I chose SDD as my favorite. Im not really a coaster girly but I like the tame ones.
 
Guardians is the best period to me.

From a pure crazy old school coaster standpoint, Everest is the best.

And then my 3rd favorite is big thunder because its just long, with some nice air points, and doesn't feel like a waste of waiting on line. I will take it any day of the week over mine train
 
1. Guardians
2. Everest
3. RnR (hurts the head but a good ride)
4. BTMRR
5. Space (might of been a little higher but a little too jerky)
6. TRON ( nice speed but waaay too short. could of been a classic if longer)
7. SDD (feels kind of slow)
8. 7Dwarfs (an advanced kiddie coaster)
9. Barnstormer (kiddie coaster)
 
I have no doubt that Guardians is the best roller coaster at Disney from almost every point of view. But I voted for Slinky Dog because that ride makes me happy. Floating in the air just brings me more joy. Plus I don’t have to watch any screens.

I will say this last trip Tron really began to impress me more than usual. This is the fourth or fifth trip going on Tron and whereas it felt a little meh in the past, this time I started to really let myself enjoy it more. I think the secret is not to compare it to Guardians...in fact comparing anything to Guardians sets you up for a let down. Tron really is a much better coaster than it gets credit for.

That said number 2 has to be Everest...my favorite queue for a coaster. Uber themed and even with the disco Yeti still amazing.
