I rode Green Lantern was a huge let down. Not an entertaining ride at all. If they would have added a newer version of Maverick or added a winged flyer they would have been better off. Magic Mountain has a nice collection of coasters, but it's a vastly inferior park to Cedar Point.

CEDAR POINT is the best. It has better QUALITY coasters than SFMM. IT holds the title 4 the most no. of coasters which exceed 200 feet- the force, dragster, Magnum and the Twister

Intamin's trains usualy load faster, and they tend to put out two trains at a time.

The Comet is the fastest ride at the Great Escape. It is also one of the only rides ever to earn the #1 ranking in the Mitch Hawkers roller coaster poll two years straight. It won the first MHpoll ever made, as well as the second, and remained in the top ten for ten years straight, and like the pheonix, it's stats can be decieving. It's easily the best ride at the park. I tried to post a review of it on the forum, but it never processed correctly. I may re-try sometime soon.

Good point! I just think that The Great Escape deserves one big coaster, the fastest coaster in the park only goes 50mph (according to the six flags website). Good thing the parks get many visitors!

800 riders per hour. Zac-Spins have several cars to load/unload at the same time with no apparent transfer track. But, intamin always has low capacity compared to B&M.

does anyone know what the que time is for the zacspin coasters? It seems like since the cars are so low capacity that the wait could get pretty long.

I agree with both of you so much! SF Great America got a new dark knight coaster not too long ago, but that ride is a waste of time! It's time parks other than SFMM get some great new coasters.

The great escape get's plenty of visitors. It's small, but millions of people go there everyday. There's still room for one or two larger rides, (or kiddie sections, god forbid) and the park has a saisfactory lineup. Six Flags America has a great lineup, but about the same amount of people come to the park. it's about three times the size of the Great Escape.

Sixflags owns a lot of the vacant land surrounding the park also. Expansion isn't much of a problem. They have also at times expanded into their own parking lot with 2 no 3 coasters. Many years ago Colossus was built out into the lot. Then Screem was built out into the lot but I believe Screem was a coaster transferred from another park. (The commercials for it that year showed a lot of grass surrounding it which is not the case in reality so they used old footage). Next came Goliath which is partially built on top of/in the middle of Colossus and also out in the parking lot.
