It just goes to show that Cedar Point's coasters are superior and can stand the test of time. Magnum doesn't suprise me as being #1. I think Mil Force is the best caoster I have been on, but Magnum is still scarier to me. I think it has to do with the slow climb, where as with Mil. Force's elevator cable, you're up the hill in roughly 20 seconds, at a 45 degree angle. So you can't see much going up. But both coasters are the best and have set examples for other parks to copy.

I've been on a lot of inverted coasters, and Raptor is the best!
Where would I find the list of what any other coasters or parks were ranked?
I would agree with Magnum's no.1 rating if it didn't so hurt so bad going through the tunnels, but as such it does so I will have to disagree.
All I can say is BOOOOYAAAAA!!!!
That's why I travel there every year. Overall they have the highest quality of coasters. I find it hilarious that Magnum beat out Millennium Force. It's just a better design, layout and location. Go Maggie!


BTW, I just hate it when they release these awards without giving you the complete list! Where do I find it? *** This post was edited by DWeaver on 3/23/2001. ***
And people wonder why everyone is on the Point bandwagon. Of course, great job again.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the next couple of years MF beats Maggie. MF is the highest rated rookie coaster so I think that with a little more nostalgia associated with it that it will pass her little sister.
Millennium Force, Maggie, and Raptor will always be in my top five! ;)

No Bad Coasters, Just Some Better Than Others.
"Maggie" as you CP fans call it, is highly overrated.

Go Cedar Point! I am outraged that Raptor is #4. Is this list based off of popularity, or a survey of NAPHA people? I just feel that there are better inverteds than Raptor out there. It is so amazing that CP can take the #1 and 2 spots in coasters, awesome.

Coasters- a little slice of heaven
I am shocked that NAPHA is still brainless enough to vote CP and Magnum as the best of the park and coaster world. I though professionals were supposed to know what they were doing? If horrible shows, mostly mediocre coasters, food, and service, and poor to no theming is what is considered the best, I wonder where the high standards people had are going to? A park should be excellent all around, not just record breaking, most, etc. BGW, IOA, Knobels, HW, KW: keep it up in being the "best". :)

Just voicing my opinion. Don't attack! ;)
