EGF may be better than SROS (I don't know for sure, never been to Germany), but SROS sure is a lot more convenient for most Americans obviously ...

Since you've heard the breakdown of SFNE's coasters, I'll be the good CP employee/fanatic that I am, and give you a breakdown of CP's coasters.

Millennium Force - Best first drop of any coaster in the world, plus a great sustained sensation of speed and some awesome floater airtime. A must ride, don't listen to the critics. My favorite steelie.

TTD - Most intense 14 seconds of your life... the launch feels like being strapped to a rocket sled, and there is some great airtime over the top.

Magnum - redefines the words 'ejector airtime' 6 times, plus a great first drop and sensational speed throughout.

Raptor - one of the greatest B&M coasters ever. This thing is fast, intense, and has some great elements and intense positive g's all the way to the end. My favorite invert.

Gemini - good fun. the first drop is really good, and the racing is entertaining.

Wicked Twister - Very fun, nice and fast, and some great air in the vertical spikes.

Blue streak - good classic woodie with some nice air.

Mean Streak - slow, no real g's, and rough, but the drops are decent.

Corckscrew - great to look at, and definitely a classic, but a little rough.

Mantis - somewhat painful standup. Some nice hangtime in the loop, though.

Cedar Creek Mine Ride - meh...

Disaster Transport - cheesy theming, but still a pretty fun dark ride.

Wildcat - portable coaster, not bad.

Also:
Power Tower - nothing beats hanging 240 feet in the air and then launching all the way down.

Maxair - also fun, with some good float if you hit it right.

On some rides like that you are. Not much of a powerful launch, but still something.

^so what you are trying to tell me is, that you are launched downwards. how would you know this? its called gravity, not compressed air, you probably havent been on a S&S tower anyways.

Power Tower has ejector air on the way down... freefall alone wouldn't do that.

Both parks are great in their own aspects...but i'd much prefer to visit CP anyday. The park has so much of a variety...I usually gotta visit 2-3 days back to back just to experience the "whole" park including: the challenge park, soak city and the amusement park itself...there's plenty to do there, so you shouldn't get bored.
