You literally listed two of the only roller coasters that I could name. There's also the Aerosmith-themed roller coaster in Hollywood Studios in Orlando that is especially awesome because you get to watch a mostly unintentionally hilarious video before it every time.
I haven't been on a roller coaster in almost a decade now (which saddens me) but I have fond memories of:
Goliath (Magic Mountain)
Riddler's Revenge (Magic Mountain)
Mind Eraser (Elitch Gardens)
The Cyclone (Lakside Amusement Park)
Cyclone was probably my first roller coaster ever, haven't been on it in 15+ years. Mind Eraser is just a blast in general but one time my sisters and I went to Elitch Gardens and we arrived right after it rained so the park was practically empty so the guy let us continuously go on the Mind Eraser (don't remember an exact amount but 5-7 times in a row), it was awesome at 11 years old to do that. Goliath was awesome and exhilarating. Riddler's Revenge is just unique that I remember it pretty fondly.
I wouldn't consider it a roller coaster but shout out to The Haunted Mansion. I thought the ride was going to be totally dumb but it is one of the few rides I remember quite well from Disney World. The other is the space simulator one because my whole family got sick after riding it a second time in a row, don't do that.
I will always love Space Mountain. It's the only ride that actually scares me a bit. I think it's because it only has a lap bar, and I feel like a too big guy in those little cars. I feel like I might fall out.
Other than that, give me a good wooden roller coaster, like Coney Island's Cyclone.
I haven't ridden many (not a big coaster guy... being tall with long legs, I never feel quite right or safe in the seats. Also, bad eyesight, which means I'm effectively riding blind without glasses), but I'm fond of the Great Bear in Hershey Park.
I always liked The Exterminator in Kennywood as well. I normally hate Wild Mouse style coasters, but mix it with a dark ride and I'm in.
I've ridden exactly one rollercoaster in my life. No wait, two. The second one was my favorite. It was Eagle's Fortress in Everland South Korea. It's a hangy-down one. It was pretty awesome. Trying to find the name, I came across an article saying they closed it a few years back. Too bad.
The Mamba at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. Tall, fast and none of that upside down bullshit I hate. Fucking being upside down. That shit is not natural.
