SFMM vs CP - Coaster War!
Submitted By: bb_dg on 2/13/2002 10:29:00 AM
Here is an interesting article on which park, Six Flags Magic Mountain or Cedar Point, has the most roller coasters in the world.

The parks web site trumpets: "NOW THE XTREME PARK. Six Flags Magic Mountain has the most roller coasters on Earth!"

Told of Magic Mountains claim, Cedar Point spokeswoman Janice Witherow responded, "That is debatable. Cedar Point is in the 2002 edition of the Guinness book for having more rides as well as having more roller coasters."

Sorry mrceagle, BB beat ya :)

If Intamin call Superman a vertical drop COASTER then it is a coaster:

then demon drop is a coaster

You are totally wrong about this bb...Superman is a coaster and Demon Drop is NOT. Just as Stunt Man's Freefall isn't. Superman might be a short coaster, but it is certainly a coaster. Especially if Intamin says so!

I totally disagree. Does Deja Vu run in a loop? No. DDrop is a freefall ride...period. There can be discussion on Superman, but no one can say that DD is a coaster.

Can't we all just get along.
I realy don't conseder Superman to be a coaster. It is mearly a reverse freefall.

How is it different from an impulse? Exactly...
 
bb_dg on 2/14/2002 8:37:00 PM said:
an impulse has trains of riders and superman just has one car, like demon drop
 
Sephiroth7 on 2/14/2002 11:38:00 PM said:
A wild mouse has one car...what's ur point? It doesn't need multiple cars to be a coaster. SMan is a one-of-a-kind coaster. A prototype for launch coasters to come. If you say Sman isn't a coaster, then you can say Hyper isn't a coaster either, which is false...

but wild mouse is a full circut

This a pointless arguement I think it is a coaster only CP fanboys think it isn't cuz they need their precious record. If S:TE isn't considered a coaster then i don't condsider Wicked Twister a coaster

I am a CP Adict and often say CP is better than SFMM but this is just stupid. Superman is a coaster but dungen drop is DFENTLY not.

First off. These parks are not in a competition. They are 2000 miles apart. SFMM is at war with Disney and Knott's and CP with whoever the hell is over there. (I've never been to CP.) Someday I will. I need a better reason to go to Ohio than just an amusement park. Since there's nothing else to do. No offense, but face it the state sucks. And lastly whatever all that Demon drop or whatever. SFMM has a 1st gen Inatamin called Freefall and it completes a circuit. So whatever you count, it's still tied.

For the people who say Demon Drop is a coaster then SFMM has another coaster! SFMM also has a Intinim 1st gen freefall called Freefall which is just the same as Demon Drop.

all though I CONSIDER IN MY OPION that S:TE is not a coaster and SFMM and CP have the same amount of coasters but who has more coasters in operation? CP... RARLY CP's coasters are ever down except TTD, in a review I have read SFMM had over 5 coasters not in operation for almost the whole season. CP is a better park with more coasters

acording to roller coaster tycoon 2 superman is a reverse freefall COASTER but demon drop is not a coaster and we all now rct2 is allways rite

Yeah, SFMM may build a lot of coasters, but X is down about every wednesday, If I remember correctly both of the S:TE coaster tracks were down...Deja 'Vu has a lot of downtime...and Cedar Point only has SOME trouble with Top Thrill Dragster, I mean, half the time it's the weather conditions, but other than that all the Coasters are in OPERATION...so...which park has the most coasters in OPERATION? Cedar Point or SFMM? you tell me.
 
cotton_eye on 8/22/2004 9:33:00 PM said:
Oh yeah, forgot about another one that's always down at SFMM...Flashback...so that's 5 coasters that are down a lot at SFMM...and Cedar Point only has 1 coaster that is down but isn't down that much.
