Hey Eric H.:But for Six Flags fans (do they really exist?), one might argue that all Dragster did was go a little higher (what, about 20 feet) than Superman at Magic Mountain while completing a full coaster circuit, which is a noteworthy achievement.
But of course, CP argues that Superman isn't really a coaster. Frankly, I'd like to get a rollback on Dragster to get a bit of an idea of what Superman is like. But in 20-plus rides, it has yet to happen.
I am a Six Flags fan. I find that you can actually vacation somewhere cool for an extended period of time AND plan a trip to the amusement park during the same trip. I mean, common, who (in general) spends any time in Northern Ohio?
I never had a rollback on TTD, but I did ride Superman: The Escape. The launch is okay (lame by today's launching standards but keep in mind its almost 10). The tower is awesome though because you get the longest feeling of weightlessness I've ever seen on a ride. Not to mention I absolutely love how loud Superman is. Sounds like a screaming jet, makes you feel like you have to ride it.

Is it time for the "except for Cedar Point that place is boring" thread again? I'm not playing this time.

By the way has anybody even seen a "Cedar Point is building towards the future" signs at the park. Because you saw them about this time back when they were building TTD. *** Edited 8/1/2004 6:42:42 PM UTC by raptorman95***

I'm with you on that! What is it, CP has like 8 record breaking coasters in total, that's astounding!
If it is...I'll find some six flags MM fansite and go prove to them that CP ownz them. Simply because we have had the world's tallest coaster record 4 times! The fastest 4 times too...maybe 3? Can't remember Gemini at the moment.

Just to let you know, six flags is in a lot of debt. But SFGA is one of, if not, their most popular park. So it would make sense to put a 25+ million dollar ride in that park becuase they'll make the money back at that park. Basically six flags rewards parks that do well and less popular parks don't get improved. So it is possible that SFGA could get a huge coaster.
