Say it aint so.. you poor, poor misled people. Apparently the high gs refered to in the story below have affected peoples judgement and somehow this TOGO torture machine has won most Thrilling Roller Coaster.

On a more positive note, The Big Shot won - Ultimate Death-Defying Attraction, heh.. now thats more like it.

Read about all the cool Vegas awards here.

Some people just don't have reason. Read some reviews of the Viper at Six Flags Great Adventure.

I beleive this is a small operation, not a major magazine or anything. The Las Vegas Review Journal, which is the main tourist magazine handbook thing voted Speed: The Ride as best amusement attraction. Lets face it the main thing that is cool about Big Shot is because it is so high up, but Speed is all around cool. Big Shot really isn't that big compared to power tower which go up roughly 2 times as high, it just isn't perched 1000 ft on a tower.

and P.S. On ThemeParkCritic.com Speed: The Ride is rated #24 out of 811, while Big Shot has been Rated #59, and ME is somewhere in the 200. It is a good ride, but they are nuts to even think it better than Speed or Desperado. I consider Desperado a Vegas coaster because it is only 30 min. away and with it there is still a whopping 4 coasters in vegas.

No way that this ride gets best steel coaster. I like this ride and all, but it just is mediocer, nothin' too spectacular. Deserado definately beats this, hands down.
