Science Day Poll Question: Wicked Twister

For my science (Student News Paper Reporter) day assignment I'm to poll 200 - 300 people and ask them and I ask everyone here (I know the answer it's just an assignment) "Do YOU classified Wicked Twister as a Thrill Ride or a Rollercoast and why?" Thanks for the help.

How can you KNOW the answer to that? It's an opinion based question, which means there is no correct answer to it. Unless you KNOW that the answer could be "Thrill Ride --- blah blah blah" or "Rollercoaster --- blah blah blah"

OK...now for my answer

It is a thrilling roller coaster ;). It has a track, it has a train, it runs on wheels, and its thrilling.

I'd classify it as a roller coaster.

A roller coaster because :

A.) It has a standard roller coaster train and track

B.) It ROLLS down the track and COAST up the hills

C.) The techinal term for the ride is an Impulse COASTER!

:-) Hopen this helps!

Defintely a rollercoaster. It has all the characteristics of a rollercoaster. It just does not complete a full circuit.

www.rcdb.com says it all. It is a roller coaster.

defiently a roller coaster!

It's a coaster all right.

Press releases said Cedar Point's 15th "coaster".

As someone else said, "it's a thrilling roller coaster".

MrScott

I think it's a coaster since it has a train, you coast up and down the spikes and of course, the track.

Although, some might argue that it is not, just like Superman at SFMM.

Roller coaster.

It's a roller coaster.

Woah, thats sweet...lol. I definently say its a coaster. As Paul Rudben says(yes I know what many of you think of him, but....) "it's powered by gravity and runs on rails, so I classify it as a coaster".
