If anyone takes this serious remember this: The adult nerds(voters) see Idlewild > Magic Kingdom for best children's park.

EPIC FAIL!!!

Why even bother having an awards show. Just whiteout 2010 and put in 2011. The same results every year.

CP as the best park 13 years in a row is completely laughable. It's all bought and paid for.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Let Me Just list 5 NO's


1- Hades Better than Prowler
2- Knoebel's HAS One of the Top 5 Halloween Events
3- Raging Bull Worse than Magnum XL200
4- Millennium Force is Better than Bizarro @ SFNE
5- Blue Streak & Rattler in the Top 50 BEST WOODEN COASTERS. Ahead of Skyliner?
943 Coasters around the World! Countdown to 1000!

But, but, but Knobels food is the best because it's cheap and coaster nerds don't have the time to taste the food as they eat 49 hot dogs and 79 funnel cakes.

The true winner in all of this is all parks that do not care about "winning" one of these "awards."

Nothing wrong with #3.

I personally don't care much for Magnum. Extremely overrated ride in my opinion!!!!

Well everyone has their opinions. And i agree why is Hades even up their. And why is MF #1 AGAIN. They dont' call it Millennium Forceless for nothing. I think BS is another underrated ride.

How can Texas Giant qualify as best new ride let alone new ride? It still has the same structure correct? Not trying to start an argument, just trying to see the logic.
Candy: What you lookin' at?
Otis B. Driftwood: I'm lookin' at you, mama.
Candy: Yeah, you see something you like?
Otis B. Driftwood: Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.

The new ride pretty much in no way resembles the original Texas Giant, it's a totally new layout, which pretty much makes it a new ride.

Ok i guess then that makes sense. I thought it just got new "rails"?

For the record, I was talking about Blue Streak at CONNEAUT LAKE PARK, Not Cedar Point.

Millennium Force is a fun ride and all but doesn't even crack my top 50 (overall). It cannot measure up to the elite steel coasters like X2, Intimidator 305, Goliath at SFOG, and Bizarro. My favorite thing about Millennium Force is the song and the lights in the station.
