Even though it's probably one of the best Inverts ever!!!! It has air time, inversions, and adrenaline. I wonder if Amusement Today forgot it existed, or if not that many people have been on it, so when they pulled, not that many people voted for it. What do you think.

Euro Mir is one of my favorite, but also like Millennium Force - good coasters (Place 23 and 2)

i think that a lot of the placements are right on, but i still think the beast is better than the raven any day! of course, the raven and the legend are both kickass rides and holiday world deserves to win those awards. [pshades]

Hmmmmmmm, I don't agree with quite a lot of that list, Nemesis should be higher up that list of steel coasters, Top thrill dragster should be a little lower, a lot lower even. I think maybe millenium force could have been top rather than ride of steel, I wasn't into that ride at all to be honest, MF was much more thrilling what with all the tress around it and stuff, But i would definitely liked to have seen nemesis closer to 1st than that, but it is mostly american people who vote on this thing so you know.

Golden Ticket awards are mostly GP views. Lightning Racer is in 7th place, but from true enthusiasts I only hear that its such a tame ride, most likely is because it is a GCI. I think Phoenix should've got first place, and the Beast shouldn't even been on that list in the condition its in now, not even a coaster anymore! Silver Comet should've been in the top 10, it beats a lot of woodies in the top 50 there.

Yeah, from what I heard, Expedition Geforce is one of the Best Rides around, and I agree with you gouldy, Nemesis should be much higher on the list. A coaster like that has to be a lot better than Raptor and most definately better than Top Thrill Dragster.

I have to pretty much agree with IF (wow, did I just say that?!)....he's right, it's mostly a general public thing. I love Millennium, but I'm sure the copious amounts of air on Exp. GeF is probably much better. Although, S:RoS seems like a pretty good choice. And the wooden coaster thing REALLY shows this GP thing, because people like smooth rides, and even like smooth wooden coasters....No way I can see a GCI be in the top, even, 25. Although, well, Oz. WCat and Thunderhead may be worthy, from what I've heard. But Lightning Racer at #7, c'mon!
