coasterdude5 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 VOTE HERE! We're back for the second installment of the Attraction Awards! These awards are more for fun rather than for "officialness". This year we've got five new categories for you to voice your opinions in! Voting runs from February 10 until February 28 with results being announced on March 2. BEST NEW RIDE: We saw countless new coasters open in 2008. Which one was the best? BEST EPIC FAIL: Recently, many coasters and parks have failed. Some new and some old, which one do you think deserves the ultimate failure award? (* Hard Rock Park still counts!) BEST SPIN: They're everywhere: spinning coasters. Which one do you think is the best? BEST NAME: Which coaster has the awesome-est (is that even a word?) name? BEST CLASS ACT: Which park really has their act together and makes your experience as a park guest truly enjoyable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream162 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 BEST NEW RIDE: Ravine Flyer II. BEST EPIC FAIL: Wow, there were so many epic fails in theme parks last year. Its hard to choose only one! As mentioned above, Hard Rock Park and the Dark Knight were/are the most epic fails. I also think Fahrenheit is pretty bad. Another one would be Pony Express at Knotts. I'll say Pony Express. BEST SPIN: Sierra Sidewinder BEST NAME: I don't know. BEST CLASS ACT: Busch Gardens Europe!! A friend and I did an almost exact clone of the TPR East Coast Trip and we both liked BGE the most out of the 11 parks we visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunder Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 BEST NEW RIDE: Behemoth, by a nose over Ravine Flyer II.

BEST SPIN: Whirlwind at Sea Breeze BEST NAME: Big Ohhhh! - Omaha, Nebraska BEST CLASS ACT: Busch Gardens Williamsburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_dude2002 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Best New Ride: Behemoth, although just like the others, Ravine Flyer II was close behind. Best Epic Fail: Hard Rock Park... Best Spin: Dragon's Fury Best Name: X:\ No way out! Best Class Act: I said Disney, but there are a lot of other great parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Best New Ride: Evel Knievel Best Epic Fail: Since other than HRP my mind is blank. HRP Best Spin: Tony Hawk at SFSTL Best Name: None really stick out, so I will Say The Voyage (best fit what I think of the ride) Best Class Act: Holiday World, Nice little park, best value, really great food.

Hurricane Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Best New Ride: Jet Rescue - Sea World. Small Coaster that REALLY Packs a Punch Best EPIC Fail: Mick Doohan's Motocoaster. Poorly Designed ride, hurts like hell. Rated 2nd worst coaster in the Mitch Hawker Poll on the year of debut... only worse coaster was GOUDRIX Best Spin: Winja's Best Name: Infusion Best Class Act: Dreamworld, Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchboogie3 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 BEST NEW RIDE: Behemoth BEST EPIC FAIL: Dark Knight, SFgadv. BEST SPIN: Any Intamin Halfpipe BEST NAME: Flight Deck BEST CLASS ACT: Six Flags America I can't figure out for the life of me if this was supposed to be serious or sarcasm. First I see "SFA and Flight Deck" and laugh, then I look up and see real choices for New ride, fail, and spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
