CPNut - TTD is, at best, a mediocre coaster. Its a hell of a thrill ride, but doesn't even deserve to be in discussions about "best coaster".

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

Agreed with Jugga about the Dragster.
It's just one hill right? But still, I ride coasters for the adrenaline rush I can get, and thats why I still vote Dragster. That is, until it gets out and I'll have to vote for a real coaster.
Milennium can be kind of boring after a while and Magnum is kinda rough, but I do enjoy that in a coaster, especially the stomach-in-throat feeling it gives you in the tunnels.
I just happen to have a problem with Wicked Twister because it is my least favorite on the list. I rode it, and got a little dizzy. I mean, it was a pretty cool ride, but it felt wierd, like there was something missing. I don't really know how to describe it other than wierd.

Yeah, because it couldn't be that some people simply prefer a ride that lasts longer than half the length of a commercial.
Have I ruled that out or are you just going to assume I'm ignorant?
Of course it's length is a con. Some people wish it was longer, that's for sure. I've heard people say it at the park many times. But it doesn't mean that people don't enjoy the experience. If it fails to provide an enjoyable experience and people hate it because of that, then I'd consider it a failure. But what Dragster does IMHO that makes it appealing to more people is that it gives that feeling of "OH I want to do that again!".
Most of the GP may get tired of some coasters after the 1st or 2nd ride. That's why I think more people (again, general public not fans) would prefer Dragster over Magnum because Magnum is a rough ride. People on here can dismiss that remark however long they want but the fact will always remain that Magnum is not a butter smooth coaster and people will not like it because of it.
But of course everyone is different and there's still a lot of people who would ride Magnum over Dragster. Only on here do I know of people who consider Dragster a failure. In the world outside PointBuzz, Dragster still pulls in the crowds and sends happy riders off the trains and into the midway.
In terms of being a "great coaster", I can agree it isn't the best in the world. It may be a "one trick pony" but it's one hell of a trick and it's one of the best adrenaline experiences at the park. That's why I love it soo much.
