You guys basically need a list of all coasters on your phone, with links to the RCDB stats. I have one for my bucklist, so I can pull up stats real fast. Go find Rob Decker and Tony of Cedar Point and take them to this booth. Tony joked he would have lunch with RMC. Hello Meanstreak. Single track design could be good for a mag lev monorail. Plus they can switch to pole supports like the B&M coasters, which would lead to greater heights (Fury 325).

+PastTime777 I'm anti-RMC Mean Streak after Valravin, Cedar Point is still missing a standout wooden coaster. What I feel Cedar Point MUST do is tear Mean Streak down and build a GCI from the ground-up. I also have issues with Joker. But not for the ride itself as that looks really good (outside of the pre-lift and the main drop), but for the name and location; Location; 1. Six Flags America hasn't gotten a coaster built for the park (not relocated) since Batwing in 2001 2. Their Roar on the East Coast is apparently the worse one. 3. Discovery Kingdom got Superman in 2012, they don't exactly need a new major roller coaster being one of the smaller parks 4. Roar was the only large non-inverting coaster in the park, now Discovery Kingdom doesn't have one Theme; 1. It's located RIGHT ACROSS from Superman Ultimate Flight and yet they're going with a BATMAN villain, that honestly doesn't add up to me. How about a Lex Luthor themed ride instead? 2. I'm not a huge fan of the split-color rails, it looks too chaotic and I feel pretty tacky.

[@PastTime777]

+AceAviations2 Will be interesting to see if Cedar Fair stays with GCI to do their conversions or new wooden coasters. Rode Prowler at WOF this year and it was fun, but the RMC coasters can go upside down and do more manuevers. You know there's only 121 wooden coasters left in North America right? They're disappearing every year, check the RCDB stats. Mean Streak would be the perfect candidate to get a make over like New Texas Giant, which is currently the best RMC in my list. CP could basically copy the NTG in terms of helixes, length, and a bunny hop section through the tunnels near the end. But if they're retrofitting Ghost RIder, I would predict the same for Mean Streak. For those wondering about my bucket list, type in "Top USA Steel Coaster Bucket List" and my page is at the top. When you click on a coaster name, the RCDB stats appear, making it easy to know all the facts about your favorite coasters. On the flip side of this, I have a Carnival Coaster list to ignore, with all the stats on those coasters. I'm more worried about the parks installing carnival coasters than anything else.

Why does the guy in the middle look so distracted and not interested?
