However, I noticed that some people put Raging Bull as their tallest, and V2 as their fastest. According to RCDB, Raging Bull has a top speed of 73 MPH, and V2 has a top speed of 70.

I guess what I'm getting at is those that put RB as their tallest should have put RB as their fastest as well! :) Sure, its only 3 MPH, and you probably don't even notice anyway.....but, 3 MPH is still 3 MPH.

TTD

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

^Somebody hasn't read all of the posts above his :lol:

Question, do people consider rides like Mission Space to have speed to them? And how fast is Mission Space for that matter? cause the Gs created are really strong, but it's a lateral movement...so anyone know more?
