^I'm willing to bet that X2 is in a lot of peoples top 5.

 

Exactly, best ride I ever rode.

 

Magic Mt. doesn't have anything nearly as bad as Mean Streak or Iron Wolf.

 

Superman the Escape, Revolution, Colossus are all as bad if not worse, and I think Batman is the worst invert I have been on. Needless to say I don't agree with your statement.

 

Yes, these are Magic Mt. three worst coasters. But I didn't get off of any of these in pain.

^ & ^^^ A lot of people are going to say that about their home park because they have visited it so much. Being there only once, I think the quality of MM's coasters TRUMP any park's coaster collection around me, including Cedar Point (for the most part).

 

I totally agree. Magic Mt. doesn't have anything nearly as bad as Mean Streak or Iron Wolf. Comparing Magic Mt. to my home park of SF Great America, you guys have a much better stand up, flyer, and wood. You still have Deja Vu and Viper that we lost. Plus we don't have a floorless or anything close to X2. X2 is my #1 ride. It's the only one in the country. I've been to Cedar Point and Magic Mt this year. Cedar is the better overall park, but Magic Mt has the better coaster collection. Appreciate what you have, it is OUTSTANDING. That's why I hope to fly out every year so I can experience it too.

B&M pretzel loop for me. (other)

Right now, with the world record in number of inversions, it's time for SFMM to take a break from doing anything loopy. Even though they went with an off the shelf Roller Skater as a family coaster, I still think there's room for a Pandemonium/Tony Hawk type ride. That would round out the family end of the collection in my opinion.

 

Think we'll ever see 20 coasters at the same time at SFMM?

Eric, I've been to Cedar Point and Kings Island this year, and have SFGam as my homepark, all 3 have quality and quantity, and Magic Mt has a better collection than any of these 3. The lineup is way better than decent. What makes it so great is that there is nothing rotten in it and it has so much depth from top to bottom. I would trade you in a heartbeat.

Personally I was very impressed with SFMM's coaster collection. There are smaller parks with superior collections quality-wise, but I can appreciate quantity as well. The shortcomings I noticed were too many somewhat similar rides (i.e. the B&M collection, plus even more inverting coasters on top of that), and the fact that I found most of the good coasters to be "average good", not amazing. These factors certainly didn't directly affect my enjoyment of the park!

 

Where are these smaller parks? I don't want to miss out.
