That would be a good fit there. I visited the park a couple weeks ago and that spot was so bare and in need of something, so I'm glad they're actually going to get a high quality flat.

13. Firebird (SFA) -- June 7, 2019 Hopefully this is the worst of them. I think that this is the only B&M that would be better off in a scrap pile, even if it is historic for being their first. There's some awful headbanging right after the corkscrew that was worse for me than the SLC in the...

My B&M count is more impressive than my actual count, which I'll credit to my Florida spring break trip. These take up almost 30% of my total. Batman: The Ride (SFStL) -- October 8, 2011 Silver Bullet (Knott's Berry Farm) -- December 30, 2013 X-Flight (SFGAm) -- August 18, 2018 Raging Bull...

Best I've used are the Intamin lapbars. Worst...yeah, it's gotta be Vekoma. There's really no contest.

Ninja at SFStL is horrible. I still find some decency in its layout, but the thing just isn't good at all. It's rougher than the Boomerang just a short walk away, and that's saying something.

Disneyland has been my favorite park since I was two years old. Still is today. Even though its coasters aren't necessarily up to par, the rest of the experience is unparalleled.

I've only ridden two: Silver Bullet and Batman. I liked both of them, but Silver Bullet was definitely better because it was bigger, faster, more forceful, etc. I rode it in the front row with a lot of room in my restraints. Fantastic ride.

No experience with NL, but RCT3 was my game for a long time. Supports (especially for wooden coasters, my personal favorites) were impossible for me to do because the work was so tedious and time-consuming. This looks much simpler. The non-grid based coaster designer is probably the highlight...

Agreed. I haven't found them too rough on the examples I've ridden and they have a lot of cool engineering behind them. Besides that, launch coasters. Intamins are a little strong to be guilty pleasures, but Mr. Freeze is just right. Not too swift, not too sluggish. Don't get me wrong, the one...

Hoosier Hurricane at Indiana Beach. Fourth cred ever. Absolutely loved it and its closeness to the water the entire time.

Either Xcelerator's top hat or any inverted cobra roll. Oh, and any one of the rising/diving turns on The Boss. Of course.

+1. This is exactly how I feel about all of the coasters I like. The Boss and GhostRider both are insanely out of control but still have some nice airtime. That out of control feeling is my favorite thing about coasters. Probably the reason why I love woodies so much. I will also say that I...

MK at Orlando was amazing, went from when I was two to seven years old every year. Then I went to California, and everything changed. Infinitely better park. I absolutely love the smallness of the park, as it is more imposing than WDW because it is more compact. I was really disappointed when...

I was riding Batman at SFStL with some friends and we were stuck for about ten minutes halfway up the lift. Really fun experience and nice weather. We got to finish the ride, which was a plus.
