I know this one has been visited before, but I thought I'd bring it up again. Ten slots for top rides is just not enough! I would be very happy with just a top 10 coasters and a top 10 flats division. Any chance this will ever happen?

I hope it happens because I'd like a section for wooden coasters, steel coasters, water rides, and flat rides.

I didn't want to be greedy, but that would be even better!

We would also need a section for dark rides.

Why not a section for favorite carousels? What about best simulators? Favorite bathrooms?
See, this has been brought up before, and my thoughts are this:
- First off, not everyone would be able to fill up all of these lists. Heck, I've been to about 30 parks and I kinda wonder if I could fill up a top 10 for water rides! A lot of space would be wasted IMHO, and as it is, many people can't keep up with their ride tracker, yet alone five top 10 lists 
- By adding 20,30,40 more spots in the profile, that takes away from the special achievement that a top 10 ride is. I wouldn't mind a slightly longer list, but no more than 20 (and 10 seems to be a popular number, and I dont mind it). If we had tons of lists, then it wouldn't take as much for a ride to be in the top 10 and it would lose the luster a lot IMO.
- On this site, part of the way that the rides are ranked overall has to do with top 10s. Pushing aside the fact that a lot of new coding would have to be done, the ratings would be messed up. Wood coasters would recieve preference over steel since there are much fewer and therefore a higher percentage would show up in people's top 10s, even if someones' #5 wood coaster (like mine) wouldn't even be in their top 10 overall. So, until the rides are ranked against each other in seperated categories, this wouldn't work too well.
All of this has to be taken into consideration. I think the system we have now works great

I don't even think that I have been on 10 dark rides. I like the bathroom thing though 
Yoshi, none of that would work out well. B. Fun made the point very well.
