wow...what exactly did they base their decisions off of? a couple of those i had never even heard of. but then again i dont know most stuff that doesn't pertain to sfgam.
emo is a music genre, not a state of mind
jeez. and none of ours. I mean come on we have at least one exciting thrill. or 2 i dunno.
Raptor!?!?!? That doesn't deserve to be in the top 500. The only reason its so high with Golden Tickets is cause of the CP Fanboys.
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer
Marathon down, Goofy to go.
I kind of like the list. Its not what you would expect from ACErs, but overall its not that bad.

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! *****Are you ready to Rockit?!*****
I can't believe Titan got in. That ride is BORING!! Raptor was another shocker..Batman is way better. But hey, these lists aren't exactly the best drawn up either.
Exactly.
Curse of Darkastle? Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure was WAY better than Darkastle
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
^ I totally agree with you.
And Raptor's not a bad ride, it just doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10. "And that farm girl walked off with slippers off a dead woman? She must have been raised in a barn!" ~Wicked, an excellent musical
Yeah, like Buzz Lightyear does too.
 Also, for Dueling Dragons I don't think that both sides are that great. I didn't like the Fire side, but only cared for Ice. So, that's another one that shouldn't belong there. For the old Pirates of Carribean ride, I have never seen a line for that ride. Now, the new ride probably will have a line.
I think Raptor is a great ride. It isn't number one (#11 of just rollercoaster list), but it's still up there on my list. UNLIKE Raging Bull's helix, in my opinion, I believe that this helix is probably the most intense one out there, and that's just the end of the ride. The rest is great too!!  "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
^The bad part about that helix is when it goes straight into the final break run, it really bangs your head.

I agree. I personally like it better than BTR.
Since, they have listed there top 10 rides, I might as well also. Considering that you may have never heard of them, I will list where they are located at.
1. Predator (Windy City Amusements--Carnival) http://www.windycityamusements.com/our_ ... dator.html 2. Zipper (Windy City Amusements--Purple Zipper) http://www.windycityamusements.com/our_ ... ipper.html 3. Deja Vu (Here, and SFOG!) 4. Spin Out (Astro Amusements/Now NAME or Reed Expedition at Wisconsin State Fair) http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index/KMGSpinout3.jpg 5. Screamin' Eagle (Six Flags St. Louis) http://rcdb.com/ig44.htm?picture=1 6. Batman The Ride (Here, SFMM, or SFOG not SFStL) 7. Big Thunder Mountain Railraod (Disneyland is better, but they are mostly equal.) http://rcdb.com/ig202.htm?picture=1 8. Georgia Cyclone (SFOG) http://rcdb.com/ig36.htm?picture=2 9. Yo-Yo (Santa's Village To bad, it's defunct.) http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index/ChanceYoYo2.jpg This isn't the actual picture of that ride. With tilting, this ride is a godsend!! 10. Mr. Freeze (SFStL) http://rcdb.com/ig427.htm?picture=8 "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
I disagree, Raptor's an amazing coaster!! It doesn't take a Cedar Point fanboy to know this either. 
As for the top 10, I'm not really sure how they got those answers...it's like they chose 10 rides they liked and claimed them to be the best. RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
Fangs Up Cobra Style!!! Chitown's finest resident here!!!!!
I would have alot of different rides than the 10 they picked, but i dont see how any of SFGAM rides would be in the top 10 of all the amusement park rides in the country.
How they wouldnt have Spiderman/Tower of terror (wdw version)/Men in Black/Indiana Jones Eye of Mora as part of the top 10 is beyond me!!
