Seriously, if Mean Streak is #39, Rolling Thunder should easily be in it.  RT is 100x better than that waste of wood.

People who believe The Beast is top 10 worthy should seriously be shot. So should people who are bothered by me saying so.

Prepare to weather the storm!

Oh, woops. I thought you meant on the top ten!

You are correct though. MS only gets high rankings due to the park it's at.

The only rides at CP I enjoy more are Maverick, Blue Streak and Wicked Twister. Magnum, Disaster Transport and Dragster are a tie for 4th favorite ride at the point.

I am definately a Magnum fan, so I can't complain on where it was ranked. On the other Hand, El Toro at #9, thats very unfortunate for an amazing wooden coaster like El Toro.

I completely agree.  I love that ride!

I just noticed that Blue Streak is in the lower 40's.  How in the world could that be lower than Mean Streak?  That's just crazy!

how about CP? it's a great park, but i don't think that it's the best park in the world... even GA is better...

I don't understand how Bakuli is the #1 new waterpark ride this year since SOOOOO many parks got Toilet Bowl Slides this year. It boggles my mind! Oh wait! It's because it's Holiday World, so it must be the best ;)

Morey's should have been the #1 seaside park !!! How did Kemah get on there? Becuase they were building the coaster? All they really had before were some shops, a ferris wheel and a Pirate Ship.

Another funny thing is that Disneyland is now apparantly in Orlando, and not Anahiem. (just a type-o I'm assuming on their part)

Curse of Darkcastle should be on there just as much as Spiderman I think.
