Stop and think how these coasters benefit the park from every aspect. Is Raging Bull really SIX times better than Whizzer OVERALL?

I like Whizzer, but you need to look at everything else on the list Ben. Maybe not 6 times better, but better (in my opinion)

I don't feel the current list well reflects how much each ride brings to the park. I think people are voting solely for which ride is most thrilling, but how much does it bring to the park? Whizzed is one of their oldest coasters and is their only true family coaster that little kids can ride (Spacely's Sprocket is not a family ride). How much does Viper bring to the park? It's a wooden coaster; but if it were replaced by something else, what would the park lose?

We're at the point where all the coasters are 'good' but I just feel that Whizzer is the weakest of the ones left. Yes, it's a great ride, but it's just not as good as some of the others.

BTW, the only reason bull is at 40 is because RC doubled its points.

Viper is definitely the one that is overall weakest. Without Whizzer, where's the pull for families?

VIper can be for families, too. Plus just because a ride is well-loved by families and is the "Perfect Family Coaster" doesn't mean it's the park's best coaster.
