If you had to have one of your top 4 rides taken down which one would you chose and why. For some of us it's an easy call that it would be #4 but other people like me have there top 4 really all tied for #1.

I would have to let Wild Cat (Hershey) be torn down, because Wildcat, Skyliner and the Cyclone, are all classics in my eyes. Plus with out Skyliner Lakemont might not be able to keep running, it's really the most thrilling ride in the park.

Edit- I put a 3 in the subject instead of 4, sorry.

Wild Cat(LC)2006 Ride Count= 151

B&M did not invent the inverted coaster, they took a suspended coaster idea and made it not swing.

Prefabricated Track is for losers.

Well, my Top 4 coasters are all amazing, but if I had to pick one, it'd be Magnum XL-200 because it's fun & all, but compared to Millennium Force & Phantom's Revenge, the design's too basic of an out-and-back hyper. Also, it does have its rough spots throughout the course while PR, MF, & Pheonix are all smooth & well-maintained. In reality though, I'd never want the first hypercoaster to ever be torn down.

Why the hell would I want to lose one of my favorite coasters?

Oh, right you already saw that coming

if I had to pick one of mine, I'd pick lower right since its the biggest and it has a nasty mark on it... oh, you're talking coasters, not my boobs... uh I dunno, I agree with Larry!

No one WANTS to lose on of their top 4, I'm saying if you had to, if you don't want to play along then don't post anything at all.

^Why do people on coaster sites only want to hear from others if they agree? IMO this is not a topic that makes any sense. Why did you choose 3 and not 10, or 2. I am so tired on this site in particular with the "if you don't like it don't post attitude." Got it does this philosophy carry over for you in the real world? You don't like what are leaders are doing so you should say nothing? Of course not. Guess what judging by the lack of responses to this thread most of us don't like it. So get over it.

I would just lie about my fourth favorite coaster, or pick one of your three favorite so you would have to lose two.

Got_it has quite an "interesting" Top 10 coaster list.

If I had that Top 10 list I wouldn't mind having 6 or 7 of them destroyed

Most say that, I have odd taste in roller coasters. I don't mind criticism, but why go into a forum about something you don't really want to post about anyway, then leave a negitive comment.

^my post is relevant to your topic, and I thought it in better tatse to make the above post here than call you out by starting a thread titled "Dear Got_it".

You can destroy any of your Top 4 that you want, just don't touch any of my Top 4.

I believe the "Dear Got_it" thread is more a question of when then if.

Got it just admit that this is not a good thread and move on. Most coaster people would never want to see one of their fav. coaster torn down.

I understand that, I like it and RCGenius thought it was ok, so if you don't like a post then just don't post in it, no need to start fights, or argmuents where there doesn't need to be.

I'm not a fan of these Sophie's-Choice-type threads either, but I actually found Got_it's Top 10 list quite interesting, assuming it's sincere.

RCGenius liking your post is not saying a whole lot as he is a master of starting topics no one cares about. No offense on that RC since I have found other things you contribute to the site to be very good, but you best threads got really repetitive.

Got it you say you would love a list of why we hate you. Taylor suggested admiting this is not a good thread and you instantly went on the defensive after he gave you what you asked for. If you don't want fights then allow people to state their opinion even if it goes against your precious thread. If it wasn't for this argument your thread would have one reply that is not yours.

None taken coaster05. That's why I said that I won't be posting a lot of threads anymore because to tell ya'll the truth, I was getting tired of being repetitive too. I'll come up with some fresh new coaster topics somehow, but it'll take a little while. Also, just because I made my own contribution here doesn't mean that I liked this topic. I felt bad for Got it because no one else posted on here.

I for one like this thread. I find it to be unique, and something that hasn't really been done on here before. Therefore, I will post a reply.

Of my Top 4, consisting of Hulk, Spider-Man, the Cyclone, and Top Thrill Dragster, the last would easily be my first choice to be demolished. It wasn't the first accelerator, it's no longer the tallest and fastest coaster in the world, and while it may be a terrific adrenaline rush, it can't hold a candle to the overall quality and long-lasting fun of the other 3.

it is MY opinion that expressing an opinion just to state an opinion rather than to enhance or contribute to a discussion is as pointless as the stupidest thread.

Funny!

Wow! Got_It, you gotta look out for the mob when posting a new topic. Since 98% of general coaster discussions have been done already you have to be really careful when you post a new one. The regulars on this site are a great group, but they've got tomatoes in hand, ready to fire at anyone who posts repeats or weird questions.

Yeah I guess so, even though this really isn't that bad of a topic. These poeple love to pick fights, then deny it. If you post a topic and someone calls it stupid are genreally speaking going to get mad, so then just DON'T post something if it is going to start a fight.

In many ways, I agree with you, Got_it, even though I will readily admit that I am one of those people that "starts fights." As I said, I really thought this was a pretty good thread, and a lot of times, a thread is killed before it's had a chance to begin when someone comes in and vigorously jumps up and down on it. I like what you said, even if I don't practice it all the time myself - why post anything if you're not going to contribute to the topic in a useful way, but just bash it? The only exception I can readily see to this rule is in the case of spammers and trolls, and you do not fall into that category.

So, basically...way to stand up for your thread even in the heat of intense criticism!

I won't lie I start fights, I also state my opinion which is also ok. I will be more then happy to listen when everever your opinion doesn't agree with mine. I have also stood alone on lots of arguments during the sites older days. If it is your opinion you should stand up for it. Again I think this is a dumb topic, but I totally give you credit for sticking behind it. I have more respect for you know then before. Not that my respect means a whole hell of a lot, but hey you got a little anyway.

Ah, you speak the truth. However, I decided to take the beginning instructions completely literally...

Since it didn't say only coasters, I just took my Top 4 as is. Now, if we are just talking about coasters, Raging Bull moves in as Spidey moves out, but my pick for destruction would still be the same.
