coasterguy618 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 ^^??. What good inverts are on the west besides Silver Bullet and Batman. Well Top Gun, but I can't think of any more. Anyway, East Coasters. But not by much.
DannyBoy Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I'm going to have to go with the majority and say East wins out. If you look at SFMM, DLR, US, KBF and Vegas vs. WDW, CP, US, IOA, SFGAdv, BG x 2 and Hershey its pretty clear which side wins the coaster/park battle. BTW, where does Texas fit in all this? That said, I still can't wait to hit SFMM and DLR this May! DB
Milkchan Posted March 4, 2006 Author Posted March 4, 2006 The east does have Talon, Raptor, Top Gun, Montu, Alpengiest, Batman, Dueling Dragons, and more to come. These all are some of the best BM inverters in the world right now.
PhishyBrewer Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 ^Trader!!! Why don't you move out east with all your Bush supporting friends you damn bastard. Whatever Mr. "Demon Drop", How many times did you go to Sandusky last year? Too hard to let go of those old, awkward feelings? Just because I live in California and went to Cedar Point 5 times last year doesn't mean a thing. It was only 5 times. Don't hate me. I regret what I said. I love you.
Token Yankee Guy Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 East, because we got a lot of cool parks, Superman: Ride of Steel (SFNE), and me yes, I know I can be full of myself sometimes
dougr Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Hmm-no one has mentioned the classic coaster at the PNE or the pair of awesome woodies at Silverwood. But the east coast has had more people for longer, so of course you'd have a greater number of coasters...
Milkchan Posted March 5, 2006 Author Posted March 5, 2006 The east coast have the only 2 coasters over 400 ft, and a coaster that is over 300 ft tall.
coasterguy618 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 ^There are 3 coasters over 400ft. And the west has one.
sfmmFREAK Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 WE HAVE X!!!!!!!!!!!! woot. but there are lots of good rides on the east coast, so i woun't rip on them.
JT3000 Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Japan > East + West US Because who doesn't love Nara Dreamland?
shepp Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 Well, yeah, the East Coast (though the last time I looked, Cleveland was pretty much in the Midwest, unless you think of Boise as a West Coast city.) However, having lived in Ohio and near SFGAdv, and frequently visited Florida, I can't say that I regret living in San Francisco - perhaps the most beautiful, cosmopolitan city in the USA - and traveling for my coaster fix.
CoasterExpert13 Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I'm for East and not just because I live over here.... Parks: Kennywood, Cedar Point, Hershey, Dorney, Geauga Lake, Six Flags Great Adventure, Busch Gardens Williamsburgh, Paramount's King Island ect.... Coasters: Phantom's Revenge, Thunderbolt, Mantis, Raptor, Millennium Force, Nitro, Medusa, Talon, Hydra, Steel Force, Storm Runner, Great Bear, Dominator (BKF), Thunderhawk (Serial Thriller), Alpengeist, Apollo's Chariot, Big Bad wolf, Vortex, Beast, Son of Beast, FoF....ect Just to name a few... I do like the West: Parks: Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Marine World, Knotts Berry Farm, Paramount's Great America ect.... Coasters: X, Riddler, Scream, Medusa, Silver Bullet, Xcelerator, Top Gun, ect....
speedracer Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 I can't say that I regret living in San Francisco - perhaps the most beautiful, cosmopolitan city in the USA - and traveling for my coaster fix. The Bay Area ownz!!! Yeah our 4 parks aren't the biggest or best, but try to find a more stunning jaw dropping beautiful place than Northern California. And the SoCal coasters are only 5hrs away! As far as quality coasters go though, I'd have to give it to the East, which is nice to visit for the coasters, but you couldn't pay me any amount of money to live in that miserable summer humidity and bone chilling cold winters . As far as quantity goes, not really a fair assessment since Oregon and Washington don't really have any major parks or even many small parks for that matter. But there's no argument that Cali has far and away the most coasters than anyplace on the planet, not even Ohio or Pennsylvania comes anywhere close: http://www.rcdb.com/census.htm?location=59

coasterguy618 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 ^Yea same here. But speedracer, you have to take note the Pennsylvania is right in the middle of two great themepark states: Ohio (Cedar Point) and New Jersey (SFGADV). Plus, PA also has Hershey Park, Kennywood and Knoebels.
shernernum Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Gotta go east all the way.....Why do you ask???? 3 Words....Williams Grove Cyclone.......even if it does close..
