So when is the new 400ft linear induction full circuit coaster coming!!!! And guys stop fighting over what you cannot control. whether it be 310 311 312 318ft etc. it doesn't matter which is higher or longer it's the technology put into it that matters. And Millenium Force beats SD in that category. And for some people to say MF was dull tells me something that they didn't ride it at all and only looked at the pretty pictures or they're just one of those stupid people that i myself just look past and forget they exist. And whether one goes 93 mph or 95 mph really doesn't matter either because when you're already going that fast 2mph (ooo! big whoop) isn't going to feel much different.but if it was a 10-15mph gap well now we would be getting somewhere! So for all the whiners and whinees,Shut the hell up!
i went to cp last summer and rode millenium. it was the best coaster i ever went on. who really cares about something thousands of miles away that is one or two miles per hour faster and a couple of feet higher?
I just got back from Cp and I loved it! MF was insane! It is now the second best coaster I've ever been on. Raptor and Magnum are 3rd and 4th.
However (so sorry to tell all of you CP lovers), Steel Dragon is a better coaster!!!!! By far!
I went to Japan 2 months ago and had a chance to visit Nagashima Spaland (home of SD 2000). I fell so much in love with that coaster that I completely neglected the rest of the park and rode Steel Dragon 14 times. What puts SD 2000 at #1 for me is the 6 or 7 consecutive bunny hops that offer great air-time. The big hills and speed are very similar (as far as the level of enjoyment is concerned) to MF.
If you ever get the chance to go to Japan, don't miss out on the STEEL DRAGON!!!!!!! you'll love it, I promise

"I think that the only reason that you guys are complaining, is that you have sort of a super ego thing that america should have the best of everything, and be the best at everything. well, we just have to face the fact that we don't have the absolute tallest ride in the world, and that shouldn't matter because we have a ride that comes pretty close. Personally, i think that you guys all need to get off of the internet, and out riding coasters, because when you get out there riding them, it will remind you that size does not matter, because it is the thrill that counts."
Actually, Anerican DOES have the best roller coasters. Sure, SD2K is A BIT taller, but what about the other hundreds or so roller coasters in the u.s. The rest of the world cant compete.
