How is the comet? I live about an hour away but never been on. I'm trying to go this year but I struggle gettting a tag along for one wood coaster and essentially nothing else.

I'm surprised with how many ppl picked voyage there are no votes for legend or raven. I guess probably cuz if you've been on voyage you've probably been on most great woodies.

The fact that everybody who picked the voyage had it at #1 tells me what I need to know.

Silver Comet is a really good ride. It can throw you around in a few places, but it does what a wooden coaster does. Basically it is a solid ride. I think you should take the hour trip to ride it. Enjoy what the rest of the park has to offer and get the rest of the credits there.

Silver Comet rocks! Top tier woodie all the way.

Rob loves Gwazi as much as I do. He just has this thing for Hades that knocks Gwazi out of his top 5.

Big Dipper is sadly sitting idle, but it will be hard to beat. That ride is just crazy good if you like slamming airtime on nearly every hill.

I too refuse to call AvaLAUNCH by its new name.

Voyage pwns all that is coaster. There is no wilder ride from beginning to end (which is about twice as long as most). Raven is still great, but can't hold a candle to the awesome power of Voyage. Legend is good, but never impressed me as much as Raven did.

Wood coasters are supposed to throw you around. That's the point!

dkny6363 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 01, 2009, 12:06:24 AM »

Rob is Frissbeking?

Actually I really want to hit up the comet but I've never been on a CCI and I want boulderdash to be #1.

There just aren't many around Toronto. After the comet, shivering timbers at 6-7 hrs is the next closest. I could have hit up dutch wonderland but it didn't seem worth the $$$.

^The tunnel alone on that ride is worth the $$$ , haha

B-mac · « **Reply #15 on:** September 01, 2009, 03:17:35 PM »

Ever notice most of the coasters are in the east? Except for wisconsins dells rollercoasters and knott's berry farms. That, and a good chunck of them are philadelphia tobbogan coaster's creations or millenium flyer's

AV Matt · « **Reply #16 on:** September 01, 2009, 08:05:21 PM »

Well the majority of amusement parks are east of the Mississippi.

themeparkrider · « **Reply #17 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:58:15 PM »

This is all the woodies ive been on: Rolling Thunder, El Toro and Wildcat. And California Scream'n if you count that :/

WadeJ · « **Reply #18 on:** September 01, 2009, 11:05:16 PM »

But, it is built to look like one!

AV Matt · « **Reply #21 on:** September 02, 2009, 05:47:17 PM »

So is El Toro, but it's all a hoax!

B-mac · « **Reply #22 on:** September 02, 2009, 05:58:41 PM »

But the only steel on El toro is the cable lift and the thin track railing

WadeJ · « **Reply #23 on:** September 02, 2009, 07:47:38 PM »

Don't bother b mac. Trust me LOL

AV Matt · « **Reply #24 on:** September 02, 2009, 09:27:37 PM »

No wood coaster feels like that. I'm telling you, it's steel painted to look like wood. Seriously!
