Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition

^ Somebody liked the Bullet!

With Iron Rattler, Texas Giant, and Boardwalk Bullet - they are all VERY good roller coasters, but not an overall top 10. However, they are definitely worthy of a genre top 10 (steel or wood). I've set my count to reflect that, with Iron Rattler my #8 steel, NTG my #9 steel, and Boardwalk Bullet my #8 wood.
 
Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition

Agreed. I didn't think the other RMC rides were spectacular but still very good rides. Looking past our overanalysis in the following days, they did put on a show.

As far as Bullet is concerned, I think I was the only one who REALLY enjoyed it out of the 6 of us.. and that was with a hangover.. haha

Gatekeeper, however, failed to make my Top 30. Twas disappointing.

I also thought Krypton turned out to be one of my favorite B&M's. Forceful, satisfying, and with plenty of floater in every element. Loved it.

AND! Outlaw Run moved up following riding Maverick again a few days later. OR is a great ride. <3
 
Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition

I also really liked Bullet. I have never seen a ride that accomplishes so much in such a concentrated footprint. We all shared the same thought, "When I thought it was going to end - it was half over." The track is 3,200 ft. long, and literally runs on top of itself again and again... and again. American Thunder (Evil Knievel), a similar compact twister coaster, only accomplishes 2,700 ft. (with a 10 ft. shorter drop).

It is absolutely astonishing the feat of layout that GG accomplished, which in part makes me favor GG to GCI for being so adventurous with their design.

However, Boardwalk Bullet's layout does get forceless towards the end, and does meander. That is what docks it from my overall top 10. There is no reason to not put it in a wooden top 10 however.
 
Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition

^I thought Bullet was definitely something else. It does so much in such a small area, and gets so close to the bay.

Well, after my first park of the year (as depressing as it was), there is a bit of change.

1) Voyage
2) X2
3) Hulk
4) Maverick
5) Dominator
6) Goliath (SFoG)
7) I305
8) Great Bear
9) Sky Rocket

So, even after my return trip to Hersheypark and nabbing the ever elusive Skyrush finally, my Top 10 has only slightly changed more towards what it originally was:

1) Voyage
2) X2
3) Incredible Hulk
4) Maverick
5) Dominator
6) Goliath (SFoG
7) Storm Runner
8) I305
9) Great Bear
10) Sky Rocket

and I guess I shall do up to the Top 20 to show where Rush has landed:

11) Green Lantern: First Flight
12) Flight Deck (KI)
13) Phantoms Revenge
14) Ravine Flyer II
15) Skull Mountain
16) Legend
17) Twister
18) Skyrush
19) Georgia Scorcher
20) Diamondback
 
Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition

Well, my top ten 10+ inversions list includes The Smiler... but not my actual top ten... Or twenty... Or thirty... ;)

That'll be the only new ride I get on this year that had any chance - so my 2013 top ten is the same as my 2012 ;)

Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition

I can only really figure out a top 5 at the moment... I will say this, RMC's Iron Horses are pretty crap. NTG was good fun and all but a bit terile and meandery. Rattler steps that up to be utterly **** boring as all ****. Gatekeeper is like The Swarm but longer, S'alright though pretty much like everything at Cedar Point bar maverick which is pretty damn good.

Anyway

1. Phoenix
2. Outlaw Run
3. Skyrush
4. Oblivion
5. Bizarro

Outlaw being the only new ride.
 
Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition

Goliath over Georgia
Thunderhead
Ravine Flyer II (NEW)
Leviathan (NEW)
Maverick
Millennium Force
Phoenix
Tatsu
 
Re: Top 10: 2013 Edition

Boulder Dash
El Toro (Great Adventure)
Thunderhead
Maverick
X2
Volcano
