New Entries in the CoasterBuzz Top 100

Jeff:

Not sure what you're asking. There are plenty of non-experienced riders who rated it. They're not counted in that number.

You cleared up part of my confusion. The number in the last column is the number of experienced riders, not just riders. It makes sense, but I just didn't read it that way initially. It also explains why rides all debut with the same number.

But......doesn't that mean we have at least 856 experienced riders (based on MF)? If we have so many, why does it only take 41 to break in to the list?

Brian Noble:

Throw in the novelty of the tilt mechanism, and it is easy to see how folks give it the benefit of the doubt.

I think part of its high rating is because of the amount of small details the park did. Even the air gates in the station are themed. It's a great example of how a little bit of quality not-hard-upkeep theming goes a long way. They easily could have just plopped it down and said..."enjoy"....(which honestly is what I thought they would do), but they chose wisely.
