This is meant to be a March Madness style bracket, 64 Coasters in 4 regions of 16. All of these are flagship or well known coasters in that park. Now, before you lock this thread, I am aware there are other tournaments going on, but none are active. So please DO NOT lock this forum. The coasters are grouped by: MIDWEST, SOUTH,NORTHEAST, AND WILDCARD (anywhere) With 16 per region. The pdf file is in this post. We will begin with the South region.

By the way, I'm glad there's no B&M hypers, cause they would whip this bunch.

Funny thing, when I rode Viper it was great except for the ear banging. But 15? Also, Batman's too high. Maybe a 9, but just my opinion.
Will there be more?

I apologize for my posts. I'll shaddup.

Oh man. I was having fun with the idiots on their facebook page over that fiasco. In case you didn't hear, a massive rumor started the night of the hurricane that a tornado took out Kingda Ka and El Toro. Twitter and facebook went bananas over it, especially on SFGAd's page. Hilarity at its finest.
I believe that the media said that hurricane Irene blew down kingda ka. This was like actual media that reported it. I laughed when I read it.

The last paragraph is GP worthy.
Also, in the "top 5 at SFGadv, one was El Torro. *cough* typo *cough* 640 foot fail *cough*
I must be coming down with GPitis. All this coughing and laughing can't be good.

^You think that's a troll? I personally just saw one worse, onfor Cheetah Hunt:

Robs stupid mouth ruins the video.
Rob likes touching underage boys.
Rob likes penises in his mouth.
Rob is a fat oaf.
AND, he spells ROBB wrong.
I know this might be very subjective to some people, but *Facepalm*

It still surprises me how many people think the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is its own theme park...
Yep. Some classmate of mine said she was going to "Harry Potter World" Conversation is as follows.
GP: I'm going to HPW!
Me: You mean IOA? 'Cause that's where HPW is. Good coasters there.
GP: No, Harry Potter World!
Me: Kinda hard not to go to IOA when you go through it to HPW.
P.S.: This person is one of the smartest in my class.
Except me

"It was doin all them loop-de-loops," and I really don't like the word loop-de-loop in general. I think it sounds like something someone from Minnesota would say.
Do. Not. Go. There. Oh, I'm kidding. You guys remember that Volkswagen commercial during the Super Bowl?

I saw this comment on Youtube regarding Kennywood's new coaster:That is a stupid move! To build a roller coaster right where the turnpike is and the coaster is nothing compared to Fahrenheit and Rock 'N' Roller coaster. Pittsburgh is a busy city already and taking out the turnpike is going to make it insane. Well back to Fahrenheit that ride goes up 200 feet and then drops 97 degrees and Rock 'N' Roller Coaster launches you right out of the station 0-75 mph in 2 seconds. WOW. THANKS A LOT KENNYWOOD NOW MY PARENTS AND I CAN'T GO TO A PIRATE GAME ANY MORE!
He actually thought they were taking out the Pennsylvania Turnpike to put in the new coaster!
And who goes to Pirates games anyway?
Residents of Pittsburgh, I bear you no ill will, the Pirates just aren't too good.
Off topic over posting as usual.

It makes me sad that no one in New Zealand has any idea what a good rollercoaster is like. I mean, four million people that have only ever ridden a standard Arrow corkscrew coaster. I was talking to a girl in my class who said she hates rollercoasters because they hurt her head. I know that isn't really a 'weird' GP thing to say, it's just really depressing
It's the same here in Colorado with our "beloved" Vekoma SLC.
And in MN, where we might actually TAKE an SLC just to get an invert.
Theme parks should be more spread out, not just in Ohio, Florida and California.

The pretzel loop on B&M flyers. The intense G's at the bottom of the element is uncomfortably strong.
Precisely! My opinion is that they suck and are awesome at the same G-filled time!

While reading this LOL inducing forum, I saw an ad for Six Flags coupons. One of the coasters on the ad was SHEIKRA.
#2:
At VF, in line for the High Roller:
Girl sees Excalibur over trees.
G: After this, let's ride that one! I think it's Millenium Force.
G2: No, that's at Six Flags
Me: *kills self*

Tatsu's Pretzel in The Back.
UUGGHHH.

^ No offense, but you can't come in and on your second post ever tell us to retire a term the has bonded us all so well. I mean, everyone only lives once... except James Bond, he lives twice.
No, Chuck Norris lives twice.
Chuck Norris dies, Death just hasn't told him yet, he's scared.

Opening week on Cheetah Hunt. Awful wait, at least 1 hour. Plus, the queue was jam packed! I could barely move!
-
#1: That crappy old Corkscrew at VF/CP. Ride once, head hurts. Ride twice, need a massage.
-
YOLO is great, but short.
Gatekeeper is great, but long.
Gatekeeper has more inversions, and really adds to the front entrance.
YOLO will be renamed YORO: You Only Ride Once. It's good, but no "come back for more 'o that awesome" elements.
Gatekeeper: Let's see: Dive drop, Immelman, Flat spin, TOWER ROLL (Behold! a new inversion!) and I probably forgot a bazillion other things.
My Vote Is: GateKeeper FTW!

Amusement Parks=Coasters
Theme Parks=Bushes
This is not a bush forum, so no doubt in my mind.

Oh, forget it.

Hahahaha. I forgot about the YOLO joke. In that case, Full Throtle (spelled wrong to hopefully not be YOLO)
-
Full Throttle.

How I would love to see new trains on Wild Thing at VF, the ones currently running are huge.
and clunky, and unaerodynamic, and ugly. Bleech! Awful trains on a pretty good ride, for 1996
Best Coaster Layouts
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

My vote goes to Cheetah Hunt, it has a great, original and TWISTY layout, with tunnels and banked turns over a river.
