For a less America-biased Top 10, check out Mitch Hawker’s Internet Poll. It uses head-to-head matchups instead of most total votes and it includes a ton of international steel and woodies in its top tens.

4)Why is Top Thrill Dragster on the list, and not the Kingda ka?
3) Why is that one trick pony doing on the list:

The cynical side of me would say that it’s because TTD is more popular b/c it’s at the almighty Cedar Point. Check out my TTD vs. Kingda Ka post for some reader opinions. It may be more than just a CP effect. Top Thrill’s probably the better coaster, but I still don’t think it should be in the top 10 ten coasters in the U.S., much less the world.

2) Why isn’t Stormrunner on the list?

I liked Stormrunner, but it just wasn’t long enough to merit a place in my top 10 and I’m not too surprised it’s not in this top 10. It’s fun, but too short.

1)Why is Montu on the list, and not Alpengeist?

Your best question of them all. I would assume some prefer Montu over Alpengeist. Simple as that. I put them pretty close, but prefer Alpie’s large, enormous elements and insane speed to Montu’s more compact, closer to the ground layout.

Thanks for stopping by.
