Excellent find, sir. I notified rcdb.com of these findings. Deep Space has been almost a complete mystery until now.

The Jessica Rabbit Experience at Disney World.

Fun fact: Perth, Australia is the most isolated major city in the world (there are big cities in Indonesia that are closer to it than the other big cities in Australia). This very well could mean that Abyss will be the most isolated large roller coaster in the world when it opens.

17. BTW, the pic for Montu at BGT on that page is actually a pic for Kumba. Just sayin'.

White Lightning at Fun Spot America. It's the best wood roller coaster in Florida by a mile (okay, there are only three total in the state, but still...).

Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (my home park). It has one of the most technologically advanced launching systems in the world and I love how the train doesn't need to come to a dead stop when it reaches the launching sections. It's like a slightly less intense version of Maverick at Cedar Point, only you don't have to be put in a neckbrace afterwards.

Because this ranking system is based on tech specs, roller coasters with higher, more impressive tech specs tend to get more favorable scores. In the case of SFMM, a big factor for why it gets ranked so high has a lot to do with being the park with the most total roller coaster inversions in the world. No other park even comes close. I should also note to everyone, just for the record, that my rankings for parks are based solely on their roller coaster line-ups and no other criteria such as friendly staff, cleanliness, value for the money, etc.

The pic attached is a sample of one I made. Using technical data from rcdb.com and other similar sources, I made a ranking system using Microsoft Excel that gives a sort of objective total score for a roller coaster and rank them all based on that total score. I also take those scores and combine them based on the parks in which they are located and rank the parks as a whole. I can explain in further detail how the scores are calculated if asked, but basically it comes from bell curves from six separate sets of technical data, which are opening date, track height, track length, top speed, number of inversions, and ride comfort (the ride comfort is based directly off of the speed stat and the type of roller coaster). The primary goal with doing this is to create a legitimate roller coaster ranking system that is 100% objective with no influence from polls, opinions, or anything else subjective. Let me know what you think, but please don't tear my head off if you think it sucks.

Do you have a science-based or partially science-based method that you created yourself for ranking roller coasters? If so, share it here! A well-known example would be Mitch Hawker's Best Roller Coaster Poll.
