Help me with my college report! YAY!

[coasterferg]

He everybody.

 

For a college english class I must write a recommendation report in which I must chose and explain the best of 3 options based on three criteria. Naturally, being the coaster nerd I am, I chose coasters to be my topic.

The 3 options are a Compact Wood Twister, Small Rocket-Luanched Coaster, and and SLC. I mostly picked an SLC because its so easy to argue against!

 

One of my criterion for my recommendation is customer satisfaction. In order to research this criterion I am posting a poll on this site of coaster "experts". Please do the poll and if you have time, explain why you chose what you did. Even though I know what most of you will say (*cough* vekoma sucks *cough*) please explain your choice based on what you like in rides and satisfaction of rides in as professional of a manner as possible.

 

Thanks for all your help.

I picked Vekoma, largely due to knowing they are so hated. i even hate them.

I believe everyone should ride one, if for no other reason, to appreciate other Mfg's works.

The Vekomas first year run is a great ride. We were very satisfied with GL's Serial Thriller when it first came out. Now, years later, it makes our ears bleed.

compact woody!

 

nothings better than a good ol' woody.

they have the best air time.

Yeah, same with SFKK's T2. It actually held up for a while, but now it doesn't so much make your ears bleed, but the shuffling busts your balls.

 

I went with small-rocket though it was hard to pass up a compact wooden twister. I love launched coasters though and rides like Kanonen just look insane.

Vekoma SLC, I actualy have had some fun on them. Seriously.

[coasterguy618]

I voted for the small rocket launched coaster because that is probably the most liked out of the group.

[Twister II]

I voted for the woodie. Mostly because that is just my personal peferance.

 

But how ever, the acclerator would bring in a much larger crowd, and attendace to the park then a woodie, or SLC.

[bobpuppet]

I picked the small rocket launched coaster mostly because I have never ridden one and would like to try one.

[Robbie]

I picked the small rocket because launches own all! lol

 

Good Luck with you report man!

I picked a woodie. They are a lot of fun, and can be as intense as a good size steel coaster. A compact woodie has also given me the best air time I have ever had on a coaster, and they can be a lot of fun. Unlike the other options, the ride is not over in 30 seconds, and they will not give you brain damage.

[M_Force_4_ever]

I picked the woodie because they can be more intense, have more airtime and all that good stuff. although I like launched coasters I still prefer the wooden. and I hate SLCs, but that's my opinion

[jarmor]

I cant really vote because I havent been on all of those types but if you wanted a better outcome I would have just said the choices could have been:

steel (looping)

steel (non-looping)

wooden

 

That way you would have a bigger arguement (well a broader disscusion) vs limiting it to just particular types...

[coasterferg]

Hey everybody thanks for taking the poll and posting comments. You're all helping me out a lot!

 

^also, I had to be specific about my three options for theassignment. Plus, the small steel launched coaster will loop, as the ride would be based on Kanonen.

[DATman]

Small rocket because they tend to be better than the big rockets, and they look intense and they have inversions AND air!!!(see speed monster)

[rollermonkey]

Wood.

 

Launch draws teens.

Wood would draw families.

SLC draws blood.

 

Where's the $$? Families.

'Nuff said.
