Top 10 Dumbest CEO's dicisions (includes Kinzel)

I think SLCs are great... I definitely ride them, and not just to increase my track record. Good design, interesting elements... definitely different from B&M inverts, but thats a good thing.

And, for the record, I like DT. The person who said that Kinzel should have looked to CP's 2003 addition for his "bad decision" was right... at least if people wait in line for DT, they can be pretty sure that they'll get to ride it. A $4 million coaster that works is better than a $25 million one that doesn't.

I like it when the "except for" includes just about the six best coasters in the midwest......

Yet only two are in my personal top 20 (Magnum!) and Gemini might be bumped out of "the six" (I'm replacing it with our incredible ride on Mantis, don't worry about that) due to our "halfway decent" ride yesterday. I haven't even ridden TTD actually, so I guess that means there are only 5 for me at this point. :)

edit: I forgot to mention that the only positive things DT provided yesterday was air-conditioning, an indoor *ride*, and laughs at the absurd theme. I used to think it was so much more... :(

Danny, I tell you this all the time, but you are insane. ;) You wanna talk about mediocre coasters look at your workplace;) They have 3 "better then average" coasters and they are all Arrows and one coaster thats only great at night.

And how you can consider any SLC great is beyond me, I have yet to enjoy a single one.

The best Coaster Collection in the midwest is in Chicago, and I can say that witout a doubt.

I have to jump in and say DT scares the poop out of me. I just get this paranoid feeling that one of the cars in front of mine has somehow stopped dead on the track and my car is about to crash into it without me even seeing it coming. If I can block that feeling out of my mind, I find it really fun with the surprising twists and dips. Umm...3-D glasses? Didn't see those available either time I rode it. I'll never forget walking down the exit from DT and seeing the guy walking in front of me puke his guts out.

Nashville needs a theme park!

Dood, Brent. It's strange that PKI has three great Arrow coasters. It's rare to find more than one anywhere! In addition, I never said PKI could do any better, but on average, I think their collection is "good". :)

I agree with you about SFGAm. It's what CP strives to be... *note long-running joke*

CP has 2 amazing arrows, And one that is the best example of a small looper I can find.

Well, of course I'll give you Magnum since it's a hyper coaster masterpiece, but I don't know about the other one... Ok, fine, I'll give into Snake River Falls as well!! ;)

You know darn well that you are Gemini's *****
