If having the most coasters is so unimportant, then why are SFMM, PKI and CP spending so much money to attain such a worthless goal.
THe answer is simple, there are very good reasons for having the most coasters in your park. One big reason is free advertising. Another reason is the good sound bite. Claiming to have the best coasters is a subject claim, however, claiming the most coasters is undeniable and confirmable fact. It make a more indellible sound bite to say the most coasters than to say the best coasters. Also, for managers of the parks, there seems to be a matter of pride in having the most coasters. To me, it's not important what park has the most, but to the parks, the benefits are clear.
