Ok, this is a very bold comment. I'm not 15, I'm not even a teen. I'm
a 25 year old that enjoys coasters and loves Great America. Now that
comment you made, come on. You are acting like a kid when you post
something like that.
If you want to point out the negatives in everybodies post, no matter the
age, then you really need to look at yourself. I can point out your
negatives, but I'm going to be respectful and not lower myself to having
to point out everybodies negatives. Learn some respect please.

As far as this topic. The heading of the topic is a little off. All it says is
"Lease Popular Ride." It doesn't state, SFGAm's Lease Popular Ride, nor
does it say "Your Least Popular Ride" So, when Shockwave8902 and I
put down Whizzer as our least popular ride, we were just going by
what the Heading Topic seamed to indicate.
Let's be more clear when it comes to headings and explaining what we
really mean.

It's the offseason, of course conversation is going to be pointless...as there isn't much to talk about besides Hurricane Harbor construction that is currently covered with snow. But please, if you don't like a topic just don't post in it.
Since it's offseason we are letting topics go on that we would normally close during the season, just because there is nothing to talk about at the moment.
Now to get this topic back on topic....for me the ride that's my least favorite is Hometown Fun Machine. Compared to other scrambler's I have rode, Hometown Fun Machine is probably the worst one.
I personally love Sky Trek Tower but the cabin usually never fills (unless it's a peak day in the summer) so I'm putting down that.

Least popular ride: I'd say HTFM, It's a good ride, but it's so generic, you go on it once and you really don't need to experiance again. Even when I was little and afraid of coasters HTFM was never a priority. JWR, I've ridden once, I thought it was stupid. I just didn't get it. And I don't think i've ever actually seen anyone in line for it. I see people on it, but never a line. Which is sort of strange.
When my friends wait an hour for Ragin' Cajun, I usually ride BTR and V2 a few times and then go on Jesters Wild Ride until they get off of Ragin' Cajun. So thats the only reason I didn't vote for it. It doesn't take up that much space either, so thats good too.
I would vote the worst ride is Trailblazer, or Jester's Wild Ride. Although, let me point out something - There were numerous times last year that I was in the park and every major attraction, coasters or the bigger land rides, Giant Drop, Revolution etc etc had incredibly long waits. We're talking hour(s) waits here. So in this instance I enjoy these lame rides because they are at least something to ride when you don't feel like waiting 2-3 hours for Superman, and 3-4 hours for Deja Vu.
I picked Jester's Wild Ride. To me it just seemed that people didn't even know what it was, unless they walked by it while it was running. TrailBlazer is a very close second, if not tied.
I for one took a ride on JWR, and TrailBlazer this year and thought that they were both more fun than they looked like they'd be.
I have seen people in line for Trailblazer. It may not be the most popular flat I do not think it is the most unpopular flat either.
I have been to SFGAM countless times in 04. there have been times I have hardly seen anyone on HOmetown Fun Machine which is my choice for least favorite. Its not so much thatit is hidden that it has become less popular, but by the time you actually start moving at 3 mph the ride is over.
Jesters WIld Ride, there have been numerous occations I have never seen anyone on there, and SFGAM is crowded.
