I love Scorpion. Don't hate on those Schwarz loops, you'll miss 'em when they leave haha.

^Disagree. Iron Dragon is great, and Mean Streak isn't as bad as everyone says it is.


You say these like they're facts...

Cedar Fair does need to take better care of their woodies, though. Get those damn trims off the thing.


...Are you kidding? High Roller is love amazing. Blue Streak was incredible; around the same time I rode the terrible Mean Streak. You're right, Mean Streak isn't pure failure, but I wouldn't ride it for leisure...

^I loved scorpion... whats wrong with Scorpion??

Mine would have to be Flashback at SFNE. Second in line would be Boomerang at KBF. Then would come Canyon Blaster at the Adventuredome at Circus Circus.

WHAT?!?! Canyon Blaster is among my favorite roller coasters ever! That ride is unbelievably smooth for an Arrow looper, and Circus Circus takes upmost care of the ride! It's a great ride in any row, and I love the intense Gs it pulls in the front and back rows during the loops! How dare you say that Canyon Blaster is horrible!

Yeah... Migraines suck. And I think Canyon Blaster was awesome. Rode it like 50 times from what I remember hahaha. It was the only roller coaster I was tall enough for in Vegas at the time.

^Agreed. I got back there two years ago and went on it. A ton of fun. That environment was killer at night. Bright lights, over and around buildings, huge drops, upside-down. It had everything that's fun.

I wan't to go on Speed" The Ride in Las Vegas. The only problem with Vegas coasters is that they charge so much...

I think some people are confusing "bad" rides with those intentionally designed for families, not thrill seekers.

Canyon Blaster at AdventureDome was pretty good. Roller Coaster at NewYork NewYork sucked. Speed was pretty good. The 2nd launch kicked ass.

A lot of trims in the POV I saw.....

I assume it's like American Eagle where the trims are only on some days?

Cause American Eagle without trims is love amazing.

Uhh... 1 trim, in the 5,000 times I've ridden it. And I think it's a million times better than American Eagle. The second brake is never activated, and thankfully too because that last bunny hop is epic.

Even if High Roller were trimmed and American Eagle was not, HR would still win. The trains make such a difference. The first two drops in the back seem to last forever while having some inches of float room with the restraints, and the bunny hops are extraordinary.

AE is mild airtime, and restrained in your seat pretty heavily. It's a great woodie, and of course the turnaround is better than HR's, but even though it's got height and speed over HR, HR just has more class. More fun. You'd probably agree if you rode it. You like woodies so much that you'd appreciate it.

Then again, HR probably wouldn't beat your #2 spot...... haha that baffles me... [B)]

It's a hometown thing..... the more you get to know a ride, the more you enjoy it. I bet if you lived in Gurnee (and went to the park every day like I do), you would get bored of Raging Bull and V2, and spend all your time on the rides with more class, like American Eagle, Whizzer, Demon, Iron Wolf, Viper, etc.....

I just rode HRRR today and I loved it...I don't understand all the bashing of it...maybe you picked a poor song :P...either way I'd prob. say the Villain at the old GL was pretty rough and is one of only a few coasters I got off with a headache.
