If we havn't rode all the coasters, can we still vote?

Here are my picks (though I somewhat disagree with your seedings, I mean come on, Medusa over Goliath?) Anyway....

***note, I havent ridden most of these coasters so if you want to dis-count this post, I wont feel offended***


Ghostrider
Riddler's Revenge
Goliath (tough match up for B:TR...)
Giant Dipper
Roar
Viper (sorry I love Arrow megaloopers)
Stealth (tough choice, good matchup...)
Wild Thing (only cause its longer) *** This post was edited by 2Hostyl on 7/31/2000. ***

Ghostrider
Riddler's Revenge
Batman: The Ride (sorry I LOVE Inverted coasters)
Manhatten Express
Mamba
Medusa
Stealth
WILD THING! (been on it, at my home park, HUNDREDS of times... it rocks!!!!)

Ghostrider
Riddler
G-Man
Giant Dipper
ROAR
Viper
Desperado
Superman

Of course If Revolution had been in this tournament it would be my pick.

The rides I have rode I will put an asterus by it.

Ghostrider over Orent Exprees [ is this the transport ride at SFMM?}

Riddler's Revenge*[most underatted coaster in the world] over Top Gun* [PGA}

Golitath* over Batman: the ride*[exact clone of Top gun at PGA.

Roar* over Mamba[never herd of Mamba}

The Giant dipper [seen] over Manhattan express.

3.Medusa (MW)[seen] over 14. Viper* (MM) Medusa looks far more intiminating, eventhough Viper has great corkscrews
Desperado over Stelth, I am going to ride stelth Wensdaay Aug 9, This is tough!!!! Can't beat 90 MPH though.
2.Superman: The Escape (MM) [seen] over . Wild Thing (Valley fair!) Superman the escape had to long a line at the wrong type of day so i couldn't ride it. It looks EXTREME! It's the loundest ride you'll ever hear. You can hear this thing throughout almost all of thr huge park. If u walk under it, its absoulty defening.

Ghostrider (OE is in one of CF's parks)
Riddler's Revenge
Goliath
Giant Dipper
Roar
Medusa
Desperado 80 mph
Wild Thing *** This post was edited by CPgenius on 8/1/2000. ***

Ghostrider
Top Gun (I'm a sucker for B&M inverts)
Goliath
Giant Dipper
Roar
Medusa
Stealth
S:TE

Orient Express and Mamba are both at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. Orient Express is one of only two coasters in the U.S. to have interlocking loops and it also was the first in the U.S. to have a kamikaze curve otherwise known as a boomerang. Mamba is a hypercoaster and thats pretty much all I know about it.

Ghostrider
Riddler's Revenge
Goliath
Manhattan Express
Roar
Medusa
Stealth
Superman: The Escape

Good idea, iluvcp!

Gotta ride 'em all!

BTW Todd: B:TR and Top Gun [PGA] are nothing alike. Most notably, B:TR has five inversions whereas TG only has three....

Roar, Goliath, and Riddler's Revenge have now moved on to the West Quarterfinals along with Ghostrider. The West Quarterfinals will be held at Six Flags Marine World.

1.Ghostrider
8.Riddler's Revenge
12. Batman: The Ride (MM)
4.Giant Dipper
6.Mamba
3.Medusa (MW)
7.Stealth
2.Superman: The Escape (MM)

That's my take on the coaster poll. Goliath doesn't compare to the Hypercoasters of the Midwest and Eastern US.

BMCOASTER

Raging Bull #1

Medusa and Giant Dipper have advanced and I think I know what BMCoaster will vote for when I come up with my midwest bracket!
