The park with the best mix of wood and steel?

Mamoosh, I can only hope that it is reality that Whirlwind has been giving Knoebels trouble. I feel as if it does not fit well at all, and the other rides in the park put it to shame. Im not sure what could go in its spot, a wild mouse sounds realistic considering how small the space is.

SFNE Has both GREAT Wood and Steel coasters.

But....none of them are down-right horrible. Even Trailblazer is okay, well, maybe not.

SFGAM is definitely a good contestant! Viper and American Eagle are two of the smoothest and just overall best wooden coasters out there. Then you have the bull, batman, V2, DejaVu, Iron Wolf, and soon to be a B&M Flyer. That is a good balance!

I can't believe you guys missed this one...

Blackpool Pleasure Beach-It has 5 wooden coasters (6 if you count Grand National as 2) and the Pepsi Max Big One, Steeplechase, Avalanche, Revolution which are fairly good steel coasters

Yeah but I haven't heard anything real great about Pepsi Max Big One, However Steeplechase may be worth the 8 hour flight!

I personally think that blackpool pleasure beach has the best mix. They have a top 25 woodie and steel, and they have more to offer

Coaster count:32
top3:Boulder Dash, Steel Force,Wildcat(Hershey)

I would have to say that Hershey park has the best collection of coasters , that any park can have, because they have coasters from differnt eras and most of the coasters that hey have were top of the line wehnt hey first came out, and hershey is always keeping up with the times, they have an origianl PTC coaster the comet which is increidble ride, they have one of the first mine train rides and the second Anton Looping coaster in the world the sooper dooper looper. The Great bear a unique and wild B+M inverted and they have vekoma boomeran , with those smooth arrow trains on them ;) and then they ahve the the two GCI's which are the best two coasters in any park that i have rideen.

Wood Coaster Fan

SFA has coasters dating from 1917 to 2001. Darn few parks can match that spread in time. Roar is an excellent example of a modern twister. Wild One still has some life in its 85 year old bones.

SROS certainly deserves its very high rankings. Batwing is a very good ride, and those of you who have never ridden an Invertigo such as Two Face can't imagine how much more intense they are than a standard Boomerang. Jokers Jinx is also a good ride with the new restraints. (Yes, I know we also have an SLC.)

Welll Jim, a good mix means you have to have both good coasters AND *crap coasters*. So, I'd say that Mind Eraser does a good job of "rounding out the mix"...;)

And I couldn't agree more about the Invertigos...the difference between those and the standard Boomerangs is even greater than the difference between the invertigo and the Deja Vu...IMO.

I can't visit hershey anymore sadly... whenever I take my fiance she goes mad because of the smell of chocolate everywhere. ;)

I nominate cedar point. *Wonders why jeff hasn't closed this.*

Well, that eliminates SFOG then. I don't think any of their coasters are crap (at least if they run *cough-Deja Vu-cough). While Ninja is a crap ride in the front, my backseat rides this year have been very fun (can your good and crap coaster be the same ride? ;)
In the small/family park mix Lake Winnie has a fun out-and-back woodie and one of the meanest mice on the planet.

I was at Kmoebels for the first time 2 weeks ago and Whirlwind had no line at all and all of the other coasters had a half hour wait.

PKD is a good one.

SFWoA. The Big Dipper alone clinches it. Their steel is also top-notch with Batman: Knight Flight, and remarkably smooth Vekoma coasters.
