- Error601, on 12/21/2007, -4/+39It can't be a real top 10 roller coaster list if it only has steel coasters.
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -1/+28Easy, just go to Cedar Point for roller coasters. Every other park plays second fiddle to them...

- MikeonTV, on 12/21/2007, -0/+14This the reason youtube was created. Roller Coaster scouting!
- capevapor, on 12/21/2007, -0/+11no Raptor? no Beast? no good.
- Coven, on 12/21/2007, -1/+11Considering "The Cyclone" is a replica of the original "Cyclone" in Coney Island, I'd say Brooklyn has you beat. The ORIGINAL Coney Island Cyclone is still up and running after 70 years, while the Houston version has only been in operation since 1976, so your 50 years claim is *****. The Houston "Cyclone" closed down last year when the park closed.
- Bukowsky, on 12/21/2007, -0/+9You're right. But It's too bad that they took The Cyclone down about two years ago..... The best part of that coaster was the back two cars on the train, because they actually came off the track a little....
Damn, I miss AstroWorld! - Boondoggler123, on 12/21/2007, -0/+8Preach on brother. No other place on earth has more coasters in such small amount of space. not to mention quality.
- tidu, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7I've seen Kingda Ka in person. Not that a picture of it wouldn't be reason enough to not go on it....
- blaze03, on 12/21/2007, -1/+8If you haven't been on X (Six Flags Magic Mountain), you haven't lived.
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6What I like About Cedar Point is that you can go there and do nothing but ride coasters all day long. If you go on a weekday in May, no lines, just hop on every coaster you want. As I understand September is even better.
- forcedfx, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6Kingda Ka is pretty sick. If the first 3 to 4 rows put their hands in the air, the car won't make it over the hump and will do a roll back and they re-launch you. Crazy!
- socialpyramid, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5Came off the track? That's intense!
- rspeed, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5The kiddy rides aren't too far away.
- Shawn4168, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5Dugg for Millenium Force...maybe not the (adjective)ist coaster around, but definitely one of the smoothest and most enjoyable coasters that I've ever been on. It truly captures the thrill of speed and height without being ridiculously uncomfortable or just plain crazy.
- PPoff, on 12/21/2007, -7/+12Nothing can touch Houston's "The Cyclone". Slow as hell, but the fact that they haven't updated it in 50 years gives it an extra thrill because you know it won't hold together forever.
Oh and the whiplash is a nice bonus too. - lukeydukey, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5Oh man I went on Kingda Ka after it rained (lines were much shorter) and i ended up front. The crazy part is when they release the brakes, cause it pauses before you actually launch, then I swear to God it's something like the Fast and the Furious when the nitrous boost kicks in. Though if you want to be nostalgic, it looks something like Light Speed in Star Wars.
- Misanthrope, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4Raptor is the *****, and The Beast is my favorite ride. God Ohio rocks.
- MeNorski, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4I went to Great Adventure the first season Kingda Ka opened. The ride would break down every half hour so they would have to fix it. They also shut it down when it rains because the train doesnt get enough traction to make it over the hump. I also heard that during testing one of the dummies fell out of the seat. I don't know if this is true or not but I heard it from multiple people.
It still didn't deter me though. Kingda Ka is the best rollercoaster Ive ever been on even if you have to wait like 3 hours for a 30 second ride. Its 30 seconds of bliss. - Waskonator, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4107mph in 2 seconds?
- jonathanclark, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4These look awesome. What we all need is a vacation tour taking in all of them. 4.5Gs!
- plinky, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4I know the guys and yes its the same guys running both sites. Looks like the fact its been picked up twice is purely lucky or unlucky depending on how you see it.
- NukkChorris, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4I second that - easily the best place to get the bang for your buck
- Bukowsky, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4hell yea... not alot, but just slightly enough for you to notice and ***** your pants!
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -3/+7Worst list ever. Anyone who has been on "X" knows what i'm talking about.
- DteK, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4Six Flags NE (formerly riverside) also has a cyclone. Although not as old, it is very rickety and the back two cars are treacherous as well.
- roguedragon, on 12/21/2007, -1/+5I find it interesting that so many of the rollercoasters shown are from Cedar Point. There's no other theme park in the world that can even begin to touch that place. It's the #1 theme park in the world with the most top rated coasters of any park. It's also the only park to ever hold more than one slot in the top 5 of best coasters in the world list year after year, and has no less than 3 coasters in the top 10 each year. I think the only other park to ever hold two slots in the top 10 for more than two years running was six flags out of chicago, and that was a fluke.

Check them out if you get a chance. - dewright23, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4Wheres "Maverick". That ride is great, when it's running.
Otherwise, I have ridden 3 of those. - rspeed, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4Plus you get a great view of Kingda Ka's massive queue area.
- rspeed, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Great Scott!
- Rippleeffect, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Goliath has been the only ride to ever give me a partial blackout. Vision starts going dim on that corkscrew.
- xdeliriumx, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Millenium Force at Cedar Point is amazing as well.
- Xplorer, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3The Beast @ Kings Island
/Superior - BlazinEurasian, on 12/21/2007, -1/+4I've rode the Goliath, the X-Xtreme is much better however, and both are at 6-flags LA. The X-Xtreme is by far the most intense coaster I've ever been on.
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3WEEeEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee
- RippinKitten, on 12/21/2007, -1/+4wow! suicide is what
- nowsourcing, on 12/21/2007, -1/+488 MILES PER HOUR!!!
- NSMike, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Oh hell yes. It's really hard to find a better wooden coaster than The Beast.
- Bukowsky, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3oh man! Dragon Khan looks like ALOT of fun!
- MaxPayne3476, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3lol it has nothing to do w/ hands in the air. it just doesnt make it over
- JupiterSSJ4, on 12/21/2007, -1/+4I live 2 hrs from Cedar Point, but I don't really like Roller Coasters, I feel like a bastard because there are people that come from all over the world to Ohio just to go to Cedar Point, and I live right next to it, but don't appreciate it. haha.
I really only like the older slower ones, Like the Beast at King's Island in southern ohio, and I love the indoor ones (afraid of heights) like the one at Cedar Point, King's Island and the Rockin Roller Coaster at Disney World. - Coven, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3I've been on Kingda Ka and it is by far the greatest steel coaster thrill ride in existence. The only people who get a better ride are Naval Aviators being launched from an aircraft carrier.
- coleki, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2wow, that blows Superman: The Escape ( http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/coasters/yell ... ) out of the water for acceleration... but you gotta love the 6.5 seconds of reverse freefall the Superman boasts.
and Superman still does 0-100 in 7 seconds. 4.5 G's is nothing to smirk at. - Xplorer, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2One of my favorite coaster trips is to start at Kings Island, then head up to Cedar Point....
I'm interested to see what Cedar Parks does with their acquisition of Kings Island.... It can only mean great things... - NSMike, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2Eh. It just looks like a re-hash of the Top Thrill Dragster from Cedar Point, and actually only ends up being 30 feet taller.
- spunkmyer, on 12/21/2007, -1/+3I'm surprised the oblivion coaster from the Alton towers in Great Britain is not in the list.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(roller_coas ... - zzzpoohzzz, on 12/21/2007, -0/+24 is also at cedar point its the dragster
- Nitro420, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2Agree. MF is still my favorite.
I've also been on Kingda Ka and Top Thrills Dragster. Even though Kingda Ka is taller and faster, top thrills is superior. It has lap belts only (no shoulder restraints) and the view is way better on a Peninsula. - MaxPayne3476, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2Nitro and El Toro best 2 coasters period
