Busch gardens consistently makes better coasters IMO. BGW only has 4 coasters now, and they are all great! I can only assume that the new ride will be very unique and inovative. Cedar point ususally takes an existing concept and makes it the the biggest/fastest etc. Don't get me wrong, I love Cedar Point, but other than MF, the rides are fairly vanilla, just larger than normal.

What?! MF is the bore fest! Raptor is way sweet and if you can tolerate crazy vibration Mantis is one of the more intense rides Ive been on.

but other than that, yea, BG is better. But I still lean to CP because I have hopes itll be something spectacular. Come on, they have to, at some point, cater to the enthusiasts.

At CP there isn't any terrain to intergrate into, it's just a flat peninsula.

I hope that Cedar Point opens a great ride. They're in need of something innovative.

Oh, and to who ever said that CP just steals other's concepts, Corkscrew - First 3 inversion coaster
Gemini - Ever see another racing steel coaster with wood supports?
Disaster Transport - How many bobsleds are indoors?
Magnum XL-200 - SO, how many coasters were above 200 feet, and exactly how many steel coasters followed an old wooden coaster style out and back layout.
TTD - Not many coasters with a vertical twist 420 feet from the sky.

Oh, and how many of BGW's concepts were original?

You do know that the letter "H" is a real legitimate letter and that it is fit for public use right?

I'd say BGW. Since they don't constantly get a new coaster like what CP does, BGW actually tries to make the best out of what they can do. Like pdonahue said, there aren't really that many great coasters at CP, mostly because half of them don't get the thought put into them like what BGW's does. But only time can tell. I won't really know what I'm more excited for until it happens. Besides, there's a good chance I won't ride either in the near future anyways.

^ I definetly agree.

Well, my vote obviously goes to BGW, since it is my home park. But even so, if i lived in Arizona, then probably it would still be BGW.

Oh, and Jimmy, Apollo's Chariot was the first Mega coaster, Loch Ness Monster was the first to have interlocking loops, and Big Bad Wolf was the first successful suspended, and Alpengiest is the tallest, most twisted inverted coaster. I don't know what your talking about unoriginal, but just because BGW doesn't have prototype rides doesnt mean there not original.
