SFHH really doesn't compare to stand alone water parks like Schlitterbahn and Noahs Ark and the such.

That commerical that had KK in it was for a vacation show. There wont be much about KK in it. It will just show the people riding it.

It's great because I got every winner right.

It was a mediocre show, I wish it could have been a two hour segment and focused in on the 2nd and 3rd Place Winners.

A little Blackpool footage never hurt anyone. :)

I'll give you a hint. Who got it the last 7 years?

I wish they wouldve threw in some Voyage construction shots since they focused on Holiday World so much.

Do you guys think that Magnum should still be ranked as high as #3 for best steel coaster? I think that its starting to show the usual Arrow roughness in its old age, especially near the back.

^ If I remember correctly, Raging Bull, and Viper were the only things in the Golden Ticket Awards from Great America, and they ranked somewhere in the middle teens for both best steel, and wooden coaster respectly. They way I see it, the Golden Ticket awards is basicaly a infomercial for Cedar Point. I guess it works, because I am going there again this year 8)

Anywhere in that thing, its a thigh buster. IT HURTS!

Speaking of stupid GP...

I never knew Black Anaconda is a water coaster and it goes straight down, AND that Hades is SO TALL!!!

Man, the things we can laugh about.
