I've actually got a tie for best year...not that my best has ever been particularly good. :| 2011 18: Most of the Cedar Point creds and a few from Dorney. 2013 18: All the Universal Orlando creds, most of SFGAdv, and Cheetah Hunt.

I apologize if this is a really stupid question, or if it's been asked before, but it's something I've always wondered about the coaster industry. Basically, who actually does the majority of the design work for a new ride? Is it the manufacturer or the park itself? There are 3 scenarios I can...

I feel like this is an odd choice. Yes, this will make a nice flagship attraction, but it still leaves a massive hole in the lineup for both a launcher and a modern looper. That said, I'm still very excited for this. Based on price tag and business relations I would assume B&M is a pretty safe...

Re: Your favorite/least favorite coaster from each manufactu B&M Favorite: Kumba- great intensity, and that zero-g roll is pure bliss. Least Favorite: Vortex(Carowinds)- vile crap, boring and uncomfortable Intamin Favorite: Millennium Force- amazing drop, and the rest is just amazingly fun...

Re: World's Tallest Portable Drop Tower to Debut at Oktoberf The sheer size of these travelling rides will never fail to amaze me...especially given that the largest portable rides I've ever seen are ferris wheels :P Honestly though, rides like this and coasters like Olympia Looping are...

I haven't been on very many... Wildcat, Lake Compounce- definitely not a fan Thunderhawk, Dorney- didn't like it at all Blue Streak, Cedar Point- enjoyable, but wasn't particularly interesting either Comet, Hershey- too long ago to remember EDIT: forgot Thunder Road at Carowinds.

Intamin- S:RoS (NE), too long ago to remember though B&M- Either Great Bear or one of the BGT ones. I'm not entirely sure. GCI- Gwazi CCI- Boulder Dash Premier- Revenge of the Mummy Maurer Sohne- H:RRR Schwarzkpof- Scorpion Morgan- Steel Force

That's true, but BGT did build Cheetah Hunt last year. How much of the manufacturer preference/decision is up to the individual parks? If BGT used Intamin, is it a sign that the whole chain might begin using them again?

I'll echo what gavin said earlier about replacing a replacing Gwazi with another woodie. It doesn't make any sense from a marketing standpoint. I know someone mentioned that BGW won't get a woodie due to noise constraints. Are RMC Iron Horses loud at all? If not, maybe we could be seeing a...

I've no idea about Khan...I can't even begin to guess how fast it's moving judging just from off ride footage. Going on what I said earlier though, Tatsu's pretzel is 124 ft tall, and pictures I've seen makes it look like it gets pretty close to the ground at the bottom. Manta's drop is 113 ft...

Re: Top 10(ish): 2013 Edition You really like Talon, don't you? :P

So were they just involved in transport and reconstruction? Or did they actually make alterations to the ride?
