Superman SFNE vs SFA ??

I believe that arrow has always called it a pretzel loop. I know for a fact that that is what original America's Greatest Coasters (In 3-D) called it, im not sure if Toomer himself ever refered to it as a pretzel loop but that is just what I have always heard it called. Do I consider it a loop (inversion), of course not. Do I think it is a stupid name, yes but that is what I have always heard it refered to as.

Sorry Touchdown...it's always been referred to as the Pretzel Turn, not loop.

My two cents, just got back from my trip and i went on MF, SFDL, and SFNE supermans and i rate it: SFDL (#7 steel)<MF(#4 steel)<SFNE(#3 steel)<Magnum(#2 steel). SFNE was everything that has been said here, but i was once again privlaged to a night ride on Magnum, with no trims and a rain slicked track, the streach from the pretzel loop to the break run can not be beat by any other hyper. And before anyone asks Raging Bull was my first hyper.

Umm you lucky you went to all of them, DID you go the all of those parks in one trip? Glad you had fun and ranked SROS at SFNE higher then MF.

You're glad he ranked S:RoS higher than MF? That's kind of an odd thing to be glad about. Would you be glad if my favorite color was the same as yours?

Why is that odd, just because it is better then MF.

I think you are really odd for saying that.

Yes I did them all in one trip, it was 2 1/2 weeks, but it wasnt all coasters. Six Flags Season Passes are great. With regards to MF there are four incredble moments of airtime (first drop, 3rd hill, 6th hill, 7th hill) but the rest of the ride just doesnt do it for me. SFNE's Superman has more airtime hills then I can count and is much longer. Add that to my gut feeling right after the ride and theres the reason Superman is higher.

However, the differences between these coasters are minor and the fact remains that I would go on any one of them anytime, anywhere there all awesome. Thats why im a fan of rating coasters not just by one number scale (one number for each coaster) but also on a quality rating (1-5) each of these four get the 1 or excellent rating in this regard.

How would you know that S:RoS is better than MF if you haven't ridden MF?

While I do agree that the 3rd hill of SFA/DL is probably bigger than any single hill on SFNE, the tunnels, the mist, the setting and the *relentless* air on every single one of the 10 or 11 hills beats the mediocre air on the 4 or 5 and the 1 gargantuan hill on SFA.
