WIN... Well except for the fact that Nitro sucks...
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

No one in New Jersey knows Boss exists. It doesn't matter to anyone other than you guys.

True, but that's obviously not El Toro, even if you aren't a huge coaster fan. Look at the trains

It really doesn't matter. People see a wood coaster, thats akk they care about. I'd bet most people who go to a park once a year don't even know it's called El Toro, or couldn't name all the coasters at the park, etc. Enthusiasts care about this way too much.

Nitro is the number #3 of most used methods to light up a woodie.
Thats just because SF marketing is grammar nazi.

I'm implying that people who go to a "local" Six Flags and maybe Orlando once a year don't know/care about rides half way across the country, and those are the people that check that site. They see a wood coaster, that's good enough. Again, I'd bet there are a lot of people who make the yearly Great Adventure trip from the surrounding area that couldn't even name or pick out photos of all the coasters at Great Adventure.

They have a corporate set of stock photos, and whoever is doing their marketing picks out the most appropriate one for the subject. Doesn't matter what the subject actually is.
