Comments on: Top Ten List-O-Rama! http://www.thecoastercritic.com/2010/02/top-ten-list-o-rama.html Roller Coaster Reviews & Theme Park News Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:20:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: The Coaster Critic http://www.thecoastercritic.com/2010/02/top-ten-list-o-rama.html#comment-5058 The Coaster Critic Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:36:18 +0000 http://www.thecoastercritic.com/?p=3038#comment-5058 It's cool if you disagree about The Beast, I know that a lot of people consider it overrated. And I'm not going to defend my opinion. It's all in the review, but I will say that I could see someone having a problem with blind love for The Beast. For example if my high rating stemmed from fanboyism or a regionalism thing. Like if I had six Ohio coasters in my top 10 or if it was in my list because I've been riding it every summer for decades. But if I genuinely rate The Beast highly after having been to parks all over the country, I'm not sure why that would be a big deal. I don't know you, but you sound like an elitist or maybe you think you're 'above' people that love The Beast. Again, it's cool to disagree and I know that many think The Beast is overrated. I just don't get your thinking I guess. At least you gave me an idea for two new posts. Although, it doesn't sound like you'll be around to read them. :) Maybe one of the great theme park blogs listed <a href="http://www.themeparksyndicate.com/enthusiast-blogs/" rel="nofollow">here</a> would be more to your liking. Although, I doubt many of them list their top ten coasters and/or give detailed coaster reviews. But, maybe that's a good thing. Thanks for the comment Ted!

I must say I was a bit surprised that the Beast is anywhere near your top ten list. I probably won't stay on this site for that reason alone. I never had one coaster enthusiast, who's opinion's I respect, who has the Beast any where near the top of their list. I think it's a fun ride, but probably mid pack out of my 120 or so wood coasters. I started reading your website some recently, been into coasters since the early nineties and online since ‘94.

Still, they built Afterburn, Apollo's Chariot, and more, and they're building Intimidator 232. Who doesn't like them? Obviously, my favorite is B&M, since I rant on and on about them.
