No! No! No, No, No! No! No, No, No! No! There's a much better ride!

Correction, There's way much better rides.

Yes to djdj. EX(s): Batman the ride, Nemesis, Millenium Force, TTD, Nitro, El toro, Medusa, B&R the chiller (rip 2007), The dark knight

you guys are dumb most of those rides arent even half as tall as kingda ka

[Turbo]

Height isn't everything

Yeah, there are deffently plenty better rides. I find kingda ka quite boring after being on it so many times

[Turbo]

I agree

I love launched coasters, and love kingda ka... but actually it wins the silver medal in my personal rank.... the gold one goes to El Toro

Exaggerating a bit?

Ok, i'll give you a list of much better rides:

Maverick @ CP
TTD @ CP
S:RoS @ SFNE
Goliath @ SFMM
Nitro @ SFGA
El Toro @ SFGA
Balder @ Liseberg
Kanonen @ Liseberg

And the list goes on...

Believe me, there are much better rides. That's just a tiny speckle of what better rides are out there. Yes. It's a fun ride, and well worth the wait, but honestly, take a ride on S:RoS at SFNE, and you'll understand.

El toro-has all the elements speed,pacing ,and savage airtime. Also rerideable and addicting. Kinga da may have 130mph (same wind in face as a cat 4 hurricane) accelaration,height etc but it way too short and gets old fast. There are others too as this forum points out like a few intense sustained ones by Intamin and Gravity Group(Voyage).Wish we had such ride in Canada.

Yeah like Voyage. [peakhill] FTW!. Now that would've made this poll more interesting...

^Thank you! [worship]

Kinda Ka isn't a terrible coaster but its definately not the best. Its waaaaaaay over rated. I respect the height and speed of the ride but thats not what makes a coaster the best in the world.

The things that I find define a coaster, and put it ontop of others in my books:

Good mix of forces, anything from high positive verticals, to ejector. Plenty of track to keep the adrenalene up, but not too long.
Good mix of elements, from inversions, to helixes, to tight turns that are low.

Speed, height, and overall a coaster in a record book does not automatically make it the worlds greatest coaster. Yeah yeah, it may give you the most instantaneous rush of adrenalene you can possibly get- safely, but that hardly counts in my books, unless it has a good layout to backup that launch, such as iSpeed, or Maverick, or even Volcano The Blast Coaster for that matter.

Top Thrill Dragster, Millennium Force, and Maverick are all better. [:p] Just saying.

(Okay, Cedar Point, where's my marketing paycheck for saying that? )

millennium force better than Ka? definitely not... imo, MF sucks

kingda ka is too short...

Kingda Ka does about three things, and as good as they are I do prefer variety over extremes.
