Post by: coastermom on May 30, 2009, 02:35:12 PM: I am going to vote for El Toro ...

Post by: Robert T Ackerman on May 30, 2009, 03:10:07 PM: Bizarro (SFNE) vs El Toro isn't exactly a fair comparison... I'd be surprised if Toro actually won that one.

Post by: nitrorox1414 on May 30, 2009, 07:04:04 PM: El Toro has it hard in the first round... a newly transformed coaster might be hard to beat.

Post by: coastermom on May 31, 2009, 10:45:00 AM: 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 .
Title: Re: Tournament of Thrills - The Quest for the Holy Rail
Post by: AV Matt on May 31, 2009, 11:57:56 AM: 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.

Post by: ChuckR on May 31, 2009, 03:03:59 PM: SROS is going to win hands down...

Post by: armystrong62b on July 07, 2009, 11:28:58 PM: thats a tough one i love them both alot..add a tie button would be my answer
Title: Re: Tournament of Thrills - The Quest for the Holy Rail
Post by: coastermom on July 08, 2009, 09:59:44 AM: That is a tough one ... I would really ponder it and I guess I would vote for Toro ..even though I love Nitro..
Title: Re: Tournament of Thrills - The Quest for the Holy Rail
Post by: Robert T Ackerman on July 08, 2009, 01:35:14 PM: 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.
Title: Re: Tournament of Thrills - The Quest for the Holy Rail
Post by: nitrorox1414 on July 20, 2009, 09:23:34 PM: Goliath lost :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D ;D :D ;D
Title: Re: Tournament of Thrills - The Quest for the Holy Rail
Post by: Robert T Ackerman on July 21, 2009, 09:00:08 AM: Damn. I'm thinking, at least from what I'll vote for, is that Mr Freeze and Nitro will end up in the end. I wouldn't be surprised if Toro or X2 made it though.
Title: Re: Tournament of Thrills - The Quest for the Holy Rail
Post by: rjholla2003 on July 29, 2009, 11:27:16 AM: El Toro needs our help. It's losing to Le Monstre at this moment!

Post by: nitrorox1414 on July 29, 2009, 05:10:32 PM: How the hell is Toro losing?
Title: Re: Tournament of Thrills - The Quest for the Holy Rail
Post by: Robert T Ackerman on July 30, 2009, 02:26:45 PM: Toro is getting KILLED. Seems like there are more Canadians on Facebook than Jersians :) (I voted for Toro for the first time this tournament)

Title: Re: Tournament of Thrills - The Quest for the Holy Rail
Post by: AV Matt on August 29, 2009, 07:58:51 PM: Le Monstre is fun. It's the best coaster at the park. It has a quirky layout--kind of a twister version of Rolling Thunder. The two tracks run parallel, but after the first drop, each side has a different pattern of hills the way RT does, but the ride is very much not an out&back layout, as it as swooping banked drops and a crazy helix with a twisting dive.

Dan would love it. Go Cobb! :)
