What should be my 100th coaster, and why?
'Playa, I thinking maybe Nitro. Why? Well, the airtime is out of this world, its B&M's tallest, fastest and longest in the USA. Oh, and its one of my favorites. ;)

I wasn't saying that I had to go to Texas...just that I could. I live in Minnesota and just about everything's a long trip from home.
But I was looking at your track record, tho....can you tell me how you would rate the Legend and the Raven against Shivering Timbers and Boulder Dash? Wait a minute--I don't see Boulder Dash in your record. Let's say ST and Gwazi.

Umm, first things first. Nitro is in New Jersey. No big deal. Just didn't want you to drive to Texas!
As far as Legend, Raven and Shivering Timbers, I really torn between Legend and Shivering Timbers. Timbers has amazing air but Legend at night is something that no one should miss. I like Raven, its a great ride but for me its just too short. If someone held a gun to my head and asked me, I guess I would pick Legend. Any of these rides would be worthy of number 100.

I agree, your 100th should be the first one you have ever ridden, I know that would be special. Unless your first was one of those fly by night carnivals...wow that kind of like a one night stand...I feel so dirty.
The whole Racer is two coaster things is kind of one of those banned topics. Its a matter of opinion whether it is or isn't. People say it isn't because it is made as a racing or twin coaster and they are all generally counted as one. King's Island is the only park that counted theirs as two really to just compete with Cedar Point. Okay I am going to stop now before I am banned

Leap the Dips idea sounds to me like the best idea so far given. Your 100th with the Dips 100th. Its got a nice ring to it. :) My suggestion is just like it has been repeated so many times already. Make the trip to S:ROS @ SFNE. Out of the 118 coasters that i've been on, its reigns supreme over everything. If you are really into the ejector seat style of Intamin, then I highly recommend going. It really has alot of great qualities to it.
When I turned over the big 100, I choose to go with a classic feel of The Beast. For some reason, it just felt right to be on a woodie of such fame. I'm all for going to another country, lets say SF Holland, and riding Goliath. If you have the resources that is.(i'm talking about the money)

????? If you ride your first coaster again, you don't count it towards your list, you have already ridden it. If you could, then I've ridden a couple of thousand coasters! See what I'm getting at?

How about Raging Bull? It's the happy medium between a woodie and steel coaster. You won't be dissapointed. I also like the thought of Superman SFNE. It looks just as good.

D'oh! Nitro, not Titan. Oprah, Uma. Uma, Oprah.
Actually, Texas is a little closer to me than Joisey...but between Nitro, SFNE's S:ROS and Astroland's Cyclone the Northeast just teems with #100 potential.
See, this is why I started the thread in the first place.

Well, Raging Bull is way too close to home. Not that I won't ride it (I will--along with 4 other SFGAM I never got around to) but it will wind up being one of the ones I ride on the way to #100.

*see my previous post*
Playa, again, I would stress getting out of the country to ride #100. Perhaps Mexico and their CCI at Six Flags? If you want to stay in the country, again, I would say wholeheartedly to make Ghostrider the choice. Ultimately, I would go to Japan or Europe. Heck, the Ultimate would be an interesting way to hit it. What a strange and long ride.

If you want closer, how about Lightning Racer or the Santa Cruz Giant Dipper?

Nemesis ...Oblivion...AIR..Blackpool...Giant Dipper... *Think about it, playa..........*
Okay. Thinking...cost of overseas airfare...plenty of bills here...mortgage...2 car notes...daycare...wanna do this by the end of June...I just can't see it happening.
Once I'm rid of a few bills, maybe I'd do it for #200 or so.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner.
