Best hyper for 2001?

I'll go Nitro since I'm pretty sure it's the tallest B&M yet. But I'm looking forward to Titan the most since I live close enough to ride it. I've never been to the Northeast coasters; this year would be as good a time as ever...
My vote would have to be for NITRO. I love Raging Bull and a taller B&M hyper can only be good. I am not to high on the Giovanola hypers. I rode Goliath and didn't think to high of it.

Nitro is by far the best looking hyper for '01. I would say Titan a strong #2 and Phantom's Revenge a distant 3rd. PR just looks WAY too short, MUCH shorter than even Goliath, which gets lots of smack-talk for being too short.
Is Colossos (Germany) considered a hyper at 197'? I say it should be. If it is: I say it's #3, bumping PR to #4.
I would put X and Deja Vu in a seperate category since they have inversions.

"X" marks the spot in 2001!

Personally, Phantom's Revenge looks the most interesting. I'm probably a bit biased (check signature), but the whole story behind the thing, plus the general "Can they do it?" sentiment adds to the excitement.
I will say, though, that Nitro looks to be fan-damn-tastic, no doubt.

Titan (which is NOT a clone!!) then Nitro.

Nitro just looks awesome. The combination of bunny hops AND beautiful turns makes this one stand out. The fact that it's B&M's tallest coaster doesn't hurt either.
Titan looks great, too. But... it gets edged out by Nitro.
Phantom's Revenge looks promising, but, from the looks of it, waaaaay too short! The overbanked turn should be sweeaaat, though.

I think that Titan will be far superior than both (even though I will not be able to ride it).

I think Nitro will be the best, and I also think that this will become several enthusiasts' new favorite hyper. It just looks incredible.
I think Titan follows close behind for second place. I haven't ridden Goliath, but I hope the "centrifuge" element on this one is as good as it's (near-twin) brother.
Not that Phantom's Revenge doesn't look interesting, just that I agree its too short. It will come in third place, I think. Even if the rest of the reconstruction is terrible, at least it will have its first two drops, which we already know are exceptional.
I just wish there was another Intamin hyper/giga going in somewhere this summer!

Coasters...the best natural buzz available.

Actually MooreOn, there is!
Expedition G-Force at Holiday Park in Germany is going to be an Intamin Hyper/Giga (no one knows) amd from the posters and stuff I've seen will be a great coaster!

If Nitro has half as much airtime as the drawings indicate, it will rule in 2001. The awesome helices don't hurt either. Luckily, I will also be getting out to PR, which I hope won't stop the fun after the 2nd drop.
I can't wait for this season to start -- I will be lucky enough to hit all three of these hypercoasters! By far (and I mean *FAR*) the best looking of the bunch is Nitro. I simply cannot stop looking at that damn CG layout!! So many hills, so many turns, so high, so fast...Ahhh, this is my most anticipated of '01 (since I won't be riding X this year). Simply beautiful.
