It amazes me how bad some of the people here are worried about the record being broken. I thought i was going to be sad when i heard the news and then something poped into my head. ITS JUST A ROLLER COASTER. Its not the end of the world. Records are made to be broken. I hope that some people would just chill out. Its a record good for it. Its also a record that can be taken back by cp. And if there is anybody still who is crying cause t.t.d. will be beat i leave you with this thought.
Kingda Ka has yet to be built...Kingda Ka has yet to be tested and work correctly...And Kingda Ka may not hold the record for long...
Superman the Escape is 415 feet tall, and is considered a roller coaster by almost anyone who isn't a CP fanboy.
I don't wanna keep talking about S:TE, but I had to put in my thoughts. If you ask someone, maybe even someone who's not even into coaster's, if S:TE looks like a roller coaster, I think they would say no. I've tried this on a bunch of people when the topic came up on this site. I asked my grandmother, little sister, a friend who's terrified of coasters, and others. All I did was show them a picture and asked them the question, and just about all said no, a few said IDK. And if your wondering, I also asked them if they thought Dragster was a coaster, and they said yup.

Smoking Marijuana isn't a bad thing or even a good one, like everything else, its what you make of it.
It doesn't matter what they say, it's what the coaster world recognizes. I believe that STe was in the record books as a coaster so they can say whatever they want. Plus, if u dont consider STE to be a coaster how can u consider WT to be a coaster, neither are complete circuits.
Go Ravens and Lakers, don't worry, we'll bounce back.
X at SFMM is frickin awesome, it's a must ride for all coaster fans.

I bet the same people would also say Wicked Twister isn't a roller coaster at first glance as well. It doesn't matter. The S:TE comparison to Dragster is a horrible one. The cars on S:TE only go up (maybe) 3/4 of the way while the trains on Dragster and, eventually, Kingda Ka, go ALL the way up their towers.
A little off topic but woulden't they wanna make the trains bigger on S:TE when they built it. They don't look like they hold alot of people.
How much longer can this go on? We've gotten way off track, now it's become a STE vs. WT... coaster or not-a-coaster. Ahhhh!
