« on: May 30, 2009, 10:03:29 AM »
Six Flags started a nice competition on their Facebook Page: The Quest for the Holy Rail

El Toro and Nitro are in the bracket.

El Toro vs. Bizarro (SFNE)
Nitro vs. Goliath (SFOG)

I honestly don't know how the hell Tatsu is being blown out by Raging Bull.

Bizarro (SFNE) vs El Toro isn't exactly a fair comparison... I'd be surprised if Toro actually won that one.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

Lets try to use the topics already created and not make a million side topics when all can be condensed under one.

El Toro has it hard in the first round... a newly transformed coaster might be hard to beat.

Did anyone notice Kingda Ka is not even up there . Wonder why that is ??? It is the tallest and fsstest should it not be considered a thrill ??? Just a thought I wanted to throw out there to everyone .

No, because they essentially picked one coaster from each Six Flags.

Tatsu totally owns Raging Bull. I think El Toro is the only SF coaster that stands a chance against SROS, but will probably lose regardless and rightfully so.

I'd vote for Nitro if it came down to Toro and Nitro, but my vote is going to Goliath over Nitro when that comes up.
