Coaster Celebrities - CoasterBuzz

Besides yourself, who would you say is a "celebrity" in the coaster industry?

Me! Oh wait, you said...

I would say Mr. Twister, and Judge Roy Scream, and maybe Batman T. Ride. They all had rides named after them, so they must have been important.

Pee Wee Herman? Oh wait, that's Reubens, not Ruben.
