Coaster Wars

I noticed in the post "Besides MF, Fav Coaster and Why?" that the general public was mostly divided over Magnum and Raptor. I think we should have a coaster wars! The only competitors here are "The big red one" and Raptor (unless you can enter the war by force, hint hint). Tell me which one you think should win and why and I will judge. This one's not just about majority votes folks, give me some description. Thanks.

Magnum can go 200 ft in the air, the Raptor can't fly that high!

Magnum all thw way! More air time than Raptor goes higher and all in all is a better ride.

raptor flies!! Your feet kick the sky. It's a totally different experience than a normal coaster. No other ride at CP is like it. The colors (green, teal, yellow, pink) are awesome!!!
It has inversions and comfy seats.

Well I think CP knows which ride is better judging by which one has a nice fresh coat of paint. Raptor all the way. Is there a magnum dan on this board or a luvraptor anywhere????

I rode Magnum 5 times and MF once with Robin Innes.
Gemini 100
It's Dan K's fault.

Maybe I should change my GTTP name to DT Neutral...

I don't see what's the big deal w/Magnum ? I'm
going for Raptor, It feels like you're flying!

The Magnum orange/red beats the Raptor green any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

'01 magnum: 350
Whats that big blue thing with the long line?

Magnum Blazes at 72mph, Raptor's wings get tired at 57. Also the bird of prey chickens out at 45 degrees Magnum gives to 60 degrees

You are the Weakest Link, Goodbye.

Lets not forget that the Magnum is still the #1 steel coaster while Raptor is #4.

Thank you Kally.

Definitly Magnum. It's not just a ride, it's an experience.

Screw laps: 13 and counting...

You can count me in for Magnum. The airtime in the ejector seat on the third hill is enough of a reason for me!

Steuks!!

I like Magnum, but my vote would be for Raptor. You can't beat that feeling of flying and that ending helix...awesome!

Ok my choice is a little off the hook but I always have loved the Iron Dragon. When I used to be "afraid" of coasters this was the first one I ever went on. You can't beat the wait time either.

Why go High, When you can FLY on RAPTOR!

Raptor Rules The Sky

When you visit CP, visit my Mill, est. 1835

Gemini! Can't vote for that? Dangit!

Magnum then by far If the Force out. Raptor is up there, but it can't float me like Magnum dose. The 3rd hill on Magnum kicks Raptor alone!
