'Most Improved Player'

chris - take a pair of smelly gym socks, fill them with concrete, place them 1" on either side of your head, then bang your head repeatedly between them.

At SFStL they did add padding to the OTSR's, but all that did was make the "horse blinder" effect worse and bring the stink closer to your face :(

Chiller's lapbars.

For me, the Freeze coasters were never that bad to begin with and the outdoor spaghetti bowls were tolerable because you could *see* where the track was going to turn and could brace accordingly.

As for Sonny and The Legend, they were already damn fine coasters so their *improvement* was minimal (save the shorter waits for The Legend).

If I had to pick one that suprised be the most in a positive way it'd have to be SFA's Wild One for wood and SFGAdv's NITRO for steel. Both coasters this year exhibited air of a more extreme nature than my previous rides; especially Wild One. Both coasters give a more than ample amount of "butt off the seat" time.

In fact, I think I need to hit Wild One one more time....

"BTW, I'm part of the minority that thought Legend was better with the G-Trains, but can see how so many would prefer the PTCs. I just have a very high 'agression' tolerance."

Gerstlauers over PTCs?? I hope you have a high tolerance for goons, chris....goons!

Moosh - excited about tomorrow ;-)

chris - while its too late for this year, maybe I should create "goons" cards for next year? Halloween, perhaps? LOL!

Moosh - who expects his goons to make appearances every now and then to keep chris in check ;-)

I would give my vote to American Eagle. It was such a good idea to run this sucka' backwards on a consistant basis.

2)Deja Vu's (times 3)
3)Batman Knight Flight's

American Eagle definately. With one backwards train, the obvious attempts to run them together and the lowest braking we've seen in years before the helix make it one heck of a ride once again!

Back on topic (cough... Moosh & Chris! ;) ) My vote goes to Screechin' Eagle at LeSourdsville Lake. The year before it closed it was running great... but then CCI got a hold of it. It's now running beautifully. Easily the best kept coaster secret in Ohio.

M Darling - sorry 'bout that! chris and I do have a way of hijacking threads and taking them off-topic, don't we? I'm still thinking about who gets my vote....

If Grandpa: The Ride doesn't have enough juice for just one rider, then how could it possibly thrill a full train?

It may take a relocation to SFAg to pull off such a feat!

And that, fellow coaster dweebs, would require serious consideration in the MIP votes.

chris, trying to get my hijacked thread back on track, sort of at least. ;-)

LOL, chris...you win this round ;-) But I'll bend over backwards to win next time!!

Moosh - doesn't accept defeat easily....

Racer at PKI (Or recaR for the real geeks in the crowd), Beast, and Raven...of course.

Mike Miller - on the gravy train to coaster nirvana.

You'll bend over backwards? Kinda like a Top Hat?

That's the kind of Valentine I've always wanted.

Definitely the Premier lapbar retrofits. I'm torn between which made the bigger difference down here, Mr Freeze at Six Flags Over Texas or Poltergeist at Fiesta. Freeze went from lawsuit-inviting painful to the most fun ride in the park, and we used to call Poltergeist "Mike Tyson: The Ride". Both are like brand new coasters, it's incredible.
