Most annoying area audio: SFSL, it get annoying hearing "God Love Her", "Ride Baby Ride", and "Every Time We touch" cycle through over and over. Oh yeah, they are generous enough to add "Thriller" during FF.

No, the undeniably most annoying area audio is in Epcot, theres an area where it loops an extremely annoying repetitive song continuously, with no other songs, just that one. It was just one annoying repetitive melody which is still stuck in my head several months later.
^the message is up there^

I have invented a new award: Worst Trend set by a chain.

And the award goes to Cedar Fair for painting everything possible that's new red.

OR, worst attempt to claim winning an award.

Award goes to Six Flags Great America, Who put up signs that say 'World's Cleanest' theme park. I'm not sure why they put those signs there, probably to distract people from the gum on the concrete and the fences that need paint jobs. :)

http://www.rcdb.com/1689.htm?p=14483 This Hoei Sangyo Co., Ltd. jet coaster should get at least 2 rusty ribbon awards for having the worst banking transitions possible.

http://www.rcdb.com/1691.htm?p=0 This Meisho Amusement Machines coaster should get the rusty ribbon award for the most strange and poorly translated name.

Oh yeah, plus the Viper is nothing compared to the American Eagle. The Eagle is an airtime machine, while the Viper just has a little floater air. Not to mention the American Eagle has a much greater feeling of speed than the Viper.

Okay. Jesus Christ.

Viper = backseat
American Eagle has what a 40ft taller drop and that much more momentum. Usually if something feels faster it is faster. The only real superb air on the Eagle is the drop in the back and the first two hills. That air is pretty much jackhammer dependent.

^I usually ride viper in the back seat, and it doesn't compare to the airtime you get on the Eagle. Especially with no trim brakes on the top of the Helix, which is how it ran for all of fright fest. The American Eagle in the front seat is Awesome!

I'm glad to say that SFMM nor Knotts will most likely not get any nomination.

However, I can't say that DL doesn't diserve one of these. I hate the employees there. So mean and they practically throw you out of the trains to make dispatch faster.
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

I'm glad to nominate Knott's Berry Farm for Worst Landscaping. The park doesn't have much landscaping to begin with, and the park does a horrible job with that little bit of it.

As for Worst Steel Coaster, I hereby nominate the Hoei Sangyo Co., Ltd. Jet Coasters. Need I say more? If I need to pick a specific coaster, I will, however I think all of the Jet Coasters in the world are worthy of this title.
