^I'm glad you share my opinion of GASM

Liseberg looks amazing.

"Pagel says the last piece is going in place on I305!! Sorry I could not be there to take pics for you guys" about 8 hours ago from Tweed (coastercrew)

I know magnum is a classic but it's just killed my legs and I fail to see how it's likable (It's just my opinion and no I'm not saying it's the worst ride ever) I also don't see why people call Fahrenheit boring. It's not like it's forceless and it has an interesting layout. I got some pretty good air throughout the whole ride and the pacing is great. If someone could just explain how it's so boring I would be fine with it but I really haven't heard anyone complain about it that way.

^ Alpengeist is crazy in the back. I don't see any similarities between it and an SLC. It might be a tad rough but it's not the type that detracts from a ride.

What I don't get is how Nitro can be at 19 and rides like Fahrenheit (80) and Alpengeist (54) are so poorly ranked. Edit: Okay, Magnum is ahead of Fahrenheit! The world is screwed up (stupid Acers)

Trackwork was finished in the last few minutes. Pagel passed on this info to KDfansite.

O dear Title fairy on highest, May thou bestow upon me a title of the effect of (and I quoteth) "El Toro hath the most holy hairtime en ye olde land" or something else ofeth that manner. God blesseth ye.

Everyone has heard that from John Winkler.

^ I'm from DC and SFA is infamous for being the crappiest park in existence.

Grizzly @ KD This ride is amazing if you ride it in the front and at night. Anaconda @ KD This ride has really grown on me. I'm loving it now. Alpengeist @ BGW Alpengeist is amazing, I don't see how it's not always liked by some. Gemini @ CP A fun ride that doesn't get enough credit. Hydra @ DP I don't care if Hydra is forceless, it's so much fun and the layout is great. Wildcat @ HP This ride is the most intense ride I have ridden (other then El Toro) You get so many pops of airtime. Fahrenheit @ HP This is my 4th favorite ride. It is absolutely amazing yet so many people complain about nothing in general. It's so fun and the airtime on the first drop and last hill are insane. There's more airtime on the last hill then most of the hills on El Toro (but not the rolling thunder hill).

Rock 'n' roller coaster down at WDW

Lets see, I'll go through the results one by one. Wood: 1 The Voyage Holiday World - I surprised that the Voyage has bounced back to number one since I've been hearing complaints about roughness. I'm happy that It's regained it's crown because GG is one of my favorite companies. 2 El Toro SFGAd - El Toro is my favorite ride so I think this a well deserved placing. 3 T Express Everland - I thought the TPR bump would put this at number 1 once again. It must not be aging well. 4 Boulder Dash Lake Compounce - This is a great ride and I'm glad it's holding it's own against some newer rides. 5 Ravine Flyer II Waldameer - I was surprised with RFII's lower ranking last year, it looks awesome. I'm happy that it went up a few spots. 6 Balder Liseberg - This was expected although I'm amazed it placed behind RFII. 7 Prowler Worlds of Fun - This was completely unexpected. I had heard good reviews but nothing this good. I'm completely astounded that it beat out Thunderhead has GCI's #1 ride. 8 Phoenix Knoebel's - I am amazed this didn't place higher but happy that a classic like this could make it into the top 10. * Fireball Happy Valley Song - Yet another GG masterpiece in the top ten. I really want to ride this eventually. China has gotten a great ride. 10 Thunderhead Dollywood - I'm disappointed that Thunderhead didn't place so well. I have high standards for this ride. 11 Aska (S) Nara Dreamland - I could have sworn this ride was SBNO. Steel: 1 Bizarro SF New England - I'm glad this ride still up there at the top. It deserves it. 2 Eagle's Fortress Everland - The POV's of this ride are insane and I really hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as BBW. 3 Expedition GeForce Holiday Park - Expedition GeForce is yet another world renowned ride and it's right where I would expect it to be. 4 Diamondback Kings Island - This is a surprise. I expected Diamondback to be rated much worse because of some of the so so reviews it's been getting. I predict that next year it will drop a few spots. 5 Goliath Walibi World NL - This ride looks awesome, I cannot imagine why it's ranked lower then Diamondback. 6 Piraten Djurs Sommerland - I'm startled to see that the mega lites have dropped a few spots. I suspect that this is due to the fact that more of them are popping up and they are becoming less unique. Both rides supposedly have a tad bit of roughness I hear. 7 Kawasemi Tobu Zoo - same as above 8 Nemesis Alton Towers UK - This is one of the sickest rides on the planet. It's probably one of my favorite rides from POV's. I don't see why it's higher on this list. 9 Katun Mirabilandia - I really don't have a good sense of this ride even after the POV's so I can't comment very well. 10 Millennium Force Cedar Point - I loved this ride so much and the only reason why it isn't higher is because of the CP fanboys raving about it and making people hate it. The drop is just crazy too! 11 Pyrenees Parque EspaNa - See Katun. 12 Blue Fire Megacoaster Europa Park - I'm so happy that Mack's first coaster was a success. I can't wait to see some of the creations they put out in the future. They are going to break into the coaster company wars. I can guarantee it. I'm so sad that Maverick didn't get into the top ten. It's just so awesome. I wasn't expecting it to, but still

^I completely agree with you. For once someone has the same opinion as I do!

Intamin easily, 4 of my top 5 coasters are Intamin. El toro Maverick Millennium Force Fahrenheit and then the lone B&M Alpengeist

I finished this ride a couple of days ago, I hope you enjoy it.

-Superman: Ride of Steel - Six Flags America --- This ride is considered to be average by a lot of people -Apollo's Chariot - Busch Gardens Europe --- I agree -Griffon - Busch Gardens Europe (VERy boring ride to me) --- NOOOOOOO -Hypersonic: XLC - Kings Dominion (no longer there) --- everyone hated it -The Dark Knight - Six Flags Great Adventure (TERRIBLE ride) --- how so?

^^^ Let me rephrase that, no good air.

There is no airtime whatsoever on Nitro and at best it is a mediocre hyper coaster. It's the fourth best ride at GADV in my opinion so it ranks fairly far down overall.

Have you seen the queue. It's rusted and nasty plus the colors are awful. Beneath the ride are broken down trucks and the maintenance area. The colors are just weird and faded, but that's just my opinion.

Why did they legalize it in DC! I really don't want to have to deal with the same problem Cali has.

Nitro is the most overrated ride ever. It didn't even have good airtime. The helix of doom wasn't bad at all and the only good part was the hammerhead. It's not a bad ride but I don't see how it's loved so much. To top that all off it's one of the ugliest rides on the face of the planet.

I can't see something like toro. I can see something like Balder. That would be a perfect fit.

I agree. Cedar Point has a style and GCI doesn't fit that style. I think that CP style would be something like the Voyage.
