Glad to see nothing has yet topped that beastly Taxi Jam.
Too intense for my blood personally


Wow, I really am glad to see so much for Skyrush. I didn't think it would be too high but many have it in the top 5, even top 3. Beautiful.

I didnt Like it the first ride. It just hurt my legs. Having the ert at the live really changed my opinion if it. The fun outweighed the "pain" by the 3rd go round

It's a joke he created from months ago he thinks is funny.. no one else really caught on.

I don't think it's funny. I just like confusing people. It's going away tomorrow (sep. 1st) so I guess I'll explain it.

When we were at King's Dominion we decided to try to get on Taxi Jam. We told the ride-op I was a 12 year old mute kid and I got other people to get the credit.

The funny thing is the ride-op bought it.
 
Yeah I always wanted the truth...you just kept saying "oh bro it was something special/you just had to be there" and I just assumed you were trolling us frankly haha

I also wanted to give you flak for putting nostalgia or something over ride quality but I let it go :lol:


So what is your real favorite? Phoenix?

That's a creative way to get a credit. I had to bring my cousin down from New Jersey in order to get it :p

Yes it's Phoenix. Also, where am I putting Nostalgia over quality?
 
^ He may be referring to you putting Leap the Dips and Jack Rabbit in your top 10 over coasters at Busch, Kings Dominion, Hershey, and other parks you've been to that have more "famous" and/or "renown" coasters.
Just a guess.

I can understand Jack Rabbit because that double down looks SICK. Leap the Dips would need further explanation but I think having no restraints and all those bunny hills makes it quite thrilling in an "oh my god this thing is unsafe" perspective.
 
The lack of restraints helps but I also wasn't expecting the speed it reached or the absurd but out of seat time on the ride. Not to mention it looks like it could collapse any time.

Jack Rabbit's double down is amazing.

The other thing that I feel I should mention is the way I rank rides. For me it's not quality or how good a ride is, My ranks are decided by rides I'd most like to go back and ride again. With #1 being most excited to ride again and so on down the line.

Also, Leap the Dips and Jack Rabbit really aren't nostalgia as I rode both for the first time this past summer.

If you weren't joking, I thought maybe the other reason you had it as #1 was because of some childhood memory. That's not the case though so never mind.

I hear ya man. Enjoyment/re-ridability is big with my rankings. Maybe MForce isn't the "best" especially when analyzed but damn, it's the most flat out enjoyable ride there is <3
