  1. ^^ How did I know you'd say that
  2. Is this this only one that still runs with the brake?
  3. Go to account settings. There's an option at the bottom to make the rankings public. If you check that, you'll be able to access your own. Thanks! Here's my list, short enough that I can fit the whole thing here 1. Phoenix (Knoebels) PTC - My expectations were blown away by the pure bliss of this ride's air 1. El Toro (SFGAdv) Intamin 3. Skyrush (Hersheypark) Intamin - The painful restraints are made up for by the insanely intense layout and unbelievable ejector 4. Goliath (SFGAm) RMC 5. Twister (Knoebels) In-house - Front row night ride is awesome! 6. Storm Runner (Hersheypark) Intamin 7. Nitro (SFGAdv) B&M 8. Superman - Ride of Steel (SFA) Intamin - Ride in the front seat for great sensation of speed and very good air 9. Kingda Ka (SFGAdv) Intamin 10. Wild One (SFA) PTC - I have a soft spot for this one, very good air considering it's >100 years old 11. Fahrenheit (Hersheypark) Intamin 12. Batman The Ride (SFGAdv) B&M - This felt like it hauled a bit more than Great America's, but both are awesome 13. Batman The Ride (SFGAm) B&M 13. Viper (SFGAm) In-house 15. Batwing (SFA) Vekoma - This is a bit polarizing, but I've always been on the side that really liked Batwing for its fun layout and intensity 16. Joker's Jinx (SFA) Premier 16. X-Flight (SFGAm) B&M 18. Bizarro (SFGAdv) B&M 19. Flying Turns (Knoebles) In-house - Thoroughly enjoyed this despite its length 20. Great Bear (Hersheypark) B&M 20. Lightning Racer (Hersheypark) GCI 20. Raging Bull (SFGAm) B&M - I really wanted to love this ride, but even in the back I got little air, and the trims suck. The twister at the end was fun though, if a bit awkward 23. Superman - Ultimate Flight (SFGAdv) B&M - Pretzel Loop felt a bit more intense on this one, so it gets the edge 24. Superman - Ultimate Flight (SFGAm) B&M 25. Green Lantern (SFGAm) B&M - Okay let me explain. I totally see why people loathe this ride. It's painful, uncomfortable, and quite rough, and my calves felt like they were being pulled into the depths of hell. But holy crap is that layout great. It contains a lot of variety, and is IMO the most intense ride at the park (sorry Batman). So while I completely get the hate, I thought Green Lantern was a lot of fun. Sue me. 26. Impulse Zierer (Knoebels) Zierer 27. Vertical Velocity (SFGAm) Intamin 28. Demon Arrow (SFGAm) Arrow - Special shoutout to whoever told me to sit in the back! 29. Sidewinder (Hersheypark) Vekoma 30. Joker (SFGAm) S&S - This Joker one beats out Great Adventure's because I got more flips, though in retrospect these both should be quite a bit lower 31. Joker (SFGAdv) S&S 32. Roar (SFA) GCI 33. American Eagle (SFGAm) Intamin 34. Wildcat (Hersheypark) GCI - I think this ride is over-hated. It's nothing special, but at least from my front row rides, it's nothing awful. I was even able to get some weird pseudo-air on some of the transitions 35. Comet (Hersheypark) PTC - Another one I really wanted to like more. I sat near the back and had plenty of room, but I don't know if it was my seat, my posture, or if I just caught it on a bad day, but I got pretty much no air, and there wasn't much speed either. I hope to come back someday and give it another chance 36. Sooperdooperlooper (Hersheypark) Schwarzkopf 37. Skull Mountain (SFGAdv) Intamin - Probably should've put this above Sooper Dooper Looper 38. Black Diamond (Knoebels) PTC 38. Runaway Mine Train Arrow (SFGAdv) Arrow 40. Mind Eraser (SFA) Vekoma - I fulley expected this to be complete trash, and everyone here seems to hate it even more than Lantern but I actually (dare I say) enjoyed the one ride I got. Yes it was rough, and there was headbanging, but it has a good layout with decent forces, and the padding on the restraints made the headbanging not hurt as much as it might have. My biggest complaint is actually shoulder-banging: the restraints have these weird things near your shoulders that my shoulders kept hitting, which did give me a decent amount of pain. 41. Whizzer (SFGAm) Schwarzkopf - I feel kinda awful for putting this below Mind Eraser, but on my one ride, I spent half of it trying to figure out proper bracing so that my body wouldn't slam side to side on every turn. Once I got that down, it was fun, but not memorable. I definitely want to give this one another try, because I don't think it deserves this placement. 42. Dark Knight (SFGAdv) Mack - I actually enjoy all 3 of these mice at the bottom of this list quite a bit, its just that I liked most of the other coasters I rode more 42. Dark Knight (SFGAm) Mack 44. Ragin' Cajun (SFA) Zamperla - Not sure why I placed this here, when it spins a lot, I like this thing quite a bit more than Mind Eraser. 45. Apocalypse (SFA) B&M - Probably the only coaster on the list I actually don't really like that much. It's not really bad, but it's pretty boring. I hope Firebird can improve it!
  4. I'd like to post my rankings here, but I can't access them on the coaster poll website. I even navigated to my user profile and clicked "view entire rankings." Is this a known problem?
  5. I'd like to see top 10-20 Six Flags coasters
  6. Glad to finally see the results! Seems like a solid list, but how is Skyrush higher than the megalites on the combined list, yet lower than the megalites on the steel list? Edit: 500th post!!!!
  7. Knoebles has officially opened! (Like 3 days ago but who's keeping track ) Did anyone attend during opening weekend by any chance? Anything to note? Can't wait to get back here some point this summer
  8. I think I see a plastic jar/container thingy with its lid on around the middle of the picture
  9. Idk what they're doing with Goudurix but it's definately nothing like with Efteling's Python. I've been told that the retracking on python has made it incredibly smooth - some people have said it's now one of the (if not the) smoothest coaster they've been on.
  10. ^Wait do you not know about the TPR world filter
  11. Uh oh: http://screamscape.com/html/industry_news.htm#SixFlags
  12. Can someone take this thing on Skyrush? I wanna see if those -2 G rumors are true
  13. I had that exact same thought process This seems really cool, I wish I could get it, but apparently my 6s+ doesn't support motion tracking Maybe you should put a note saying which phones it works for?
  14. I shall add my name to the list of Knoebles lovers. That's probably the park that in my opinion, you do need to go to at some point in your life. It's quite a trek from where I assume you live, but it's worth it.
  15. The problem parks have with that isn't the zipper magically unzipping and the phone flying out: the problem is people putting their phones in their pockets, and as soon as they're dispatched they whip their phones out and start filming, and then the phones fly out of their hands. I've seen it happen several times (people filming on rides, not necessarily them losing their phone), once it was even the person sitting next to me on S:ROS @ SFA (luckily I was able to convince him that it wasn't worth the risk before the ride began).
  16. It seems like they'll be roughly the same:. According to my quick google searches: Hypersonic XLC: 0-80mph in 1.8 sec Maxx Force: 0-78mph in less than 2 sec (precise time not listed) However, we already have Stealth @Thorpe Park which goes 0-80mph in 1.9 seconds. However, Hydraulic Intamin launches don't necessarily feel the same as compressed air S&S launches, so IDK if they'll be comparable or not.
  17. I believe King Kobra is technically the world's first launch coaster period, but I'm not 100% sure
  18. You can still ride King Cobra if you're willing to travel
  19. Batman @ SFGAm was running without the covers when I was there last summer, but IDK if that's normal
  20. Hmm, when Choosing a thEme park pizza reStaurant, there is reAlly only one that does it Right. I would recommend you go there for cheeSy goodness. Wouldn't it be great if this place was only a four hour drive from Darien Lake opened sooner, well priced, and next to a top ten coaster in the world?
  21. It looks like those OSTR's might be a bit wider than the normal ones, but it's tough to tell from photos alone.
  22. Glad you enjoyed Evan Hansen! I thought it was a great musical. As far as stuff on Broadway right now: Have you seen Come From Away? I was lucky enough to see it in New York a few weeks ago and was blown away! I personally liked it more than Dear Evan Hansen. It's incredibly well done and a lot of fun (but there are a fair share of serious parts). It's a small cast, but everyone plays like 3 different characters, changing character on stage, and putting on tonnes of different accents. The music is awesome too, and I cannot think of any other musicals with a comparable style. In case you aren't aware, the show is based on the true story about how the town of Gander, Newfoundland in Canada came together on 9/11 to accommodate the thousands of people and nearly 40 planes who were grounded at their airport (it was a large airport originally used for refueling trans-Atlantic flights when airplanes couldn't fly as far). It's incredibly heartwarming, and they do a great job of representing many different stories from many different people. I highly recommend it for anyone who hasn't seen it.
  23. From what I understand Storm Chaser's lack of popularity is largely due to its less convenient location in a sort of back corner of the park that has little other noteworthy attractions. Not sure how accurate that is, but that's what I've gathered from the Kentucky Kingdom thread.
