When I went to Kings Dominion I looked at the brochure and the description of Intimidator 305. I had to laugh. It is described as being the "tallest coaster of its type on the east coast." Well, lets see. Kingda Ka is not 305's "type" so thats out. And there are no other giga coasters on the east coast, so obviously 305 is the tallest coaster of its type on the east coast. It could be the tallest coaster of its type in America if it was built only 6 feet taller, but Millennium Force is taller. Not that I have a problem with that because I like Millennium Force better.

My home park has the longest rollercoaster TRAIN in the world and the longest and tallest JUNIOR coaster (when it opened)… (Bobbejaanland, Belgium)

But they don't advertise it anymore.

Most parks do it, and it is funny if you think about it.

Your right, small parks always do over-hype their mini record breakers. if they didn`t, no one would come. The Great Escape (my home park) dosen`t seeme to hype at all, their visitors do that for them. TGE has two record-holders, the Comet, the worlds tallest 80-year-old classic, and the Sasquatch, new york`s tallest non-roller coaster thrill ride. prettey small records, but it`s a small park. i`m prettey sure every park has a record-holder, wether they know it or not.

I have to admit that when my home park, Kennywood, put in the original Steel Phantom with the highest vertical drop … as the second drop on the course, no less … I felt a lot of local pride. Even though it's no longer a record-holder, we still thrive on the fact that it once was.

The Thunderbolt was rated the #1 roller coaster by the New York Times in 1974. Heck, for many, many years, they kept a painted sign at the Thunderbolt entrance that had that top 10 listed painted on it. It may be a small park, but there is plenty of local pride!
