Believe the hype/Don't believe the hype (y2k3 coas

I'm right there with Rob. Dragster is more of a thrill-ride than a coaster. It's an excellent thrill ride, but only a decent coaster.

Example: Xcelerator is a much better coaster than Dragster, but Dragster has the greater thrill. Get it?

S:KC and Hypersonic didn't meet my expectations (especially Hypersonic!), and then Xcelerator and Oz Wildcat blew me away.

Has anybody noticed that Scream! is just Medusa flipped over. What a rip. I live very close to SFMM and when I saw a new coaster being built by Goliath i was stoked. Then, I find out that it's Medusa with a different name. That's one thing I hate about SF theme parks. I know they have to do it because it's very hard to create a new ride, but aren't there enough Batman's now?

X- the coaster designed to break all the rules

Hypersonic was terrible. The launch was incredible, but what a piece of crap. I was quite underwhelmed by Apollo and Alpie as well.

Now Volcano, PKD's Drop Zone, SFA's Superman, Wild One, a PTC'd Legend, and Dragster all blew me away.

If I was part of a coaster, I would be an upstop pad on an Arrow Mine Train.
MAGNUM HAD MY BABY!

I was underwhelmed by Volcano when I rode it a few years ago. I mean, do I really need 3 inlines? I was totally blown away by PKD's drop zone though.

Re: Nothing

Have you been living in a cave for the last year or so? The Scream/Medusa cloning issue has spawned countless (pointless) threads and led to many a flame. If you really want to hear other people's opinions on the subject, use the search feature.
