Both seem to have the same elements, except TopGun has the Batwing, and Talon does not. Which coaster is better in your opinion?

Top Gun looks better to me. The batwing looks like it would be one of the best elements on any coaster.

I rode Montu and the Batwing is definately my favorite element along with zero-g roll. So I'll vote Top Gun due to the fact it has a Batwing.

I rode Talon the year it opened and have ridden Top Gun numerous times as it is in my home park. Two things I like better on Talon. 1) It is very quiet. Putting sand in the rails really works! Top gun is so deafening that you can't even talk to someone while the train is whizzing overhead. 2) The low to the ground 360 on Talon is incredible! Reminded me of Nemesis.

Overall though, I think Top Gun wins. The first 3 elements and the Batwing are about the most disoriented I have been on a coaster.

Top Gun is more like a Montu with a mirrored drop and a shortened ending than any other coaster, Talon included.

If found Top Gun to be rather dissapointing, however; if what I hear about Talon is ture I imagine I'd enjoy it more.

I found Top Gun to be kinda dissapointing too...It just felt wrong...the last corkscrew is rough, the inline sucks, and the batwing isnt so great. The best part is that floater hill after the batwing! But, Talon looks none more impressive....sooo, I vote Top Gun.

I found the floater hill to be pretty weak myself, but I agree about the Batwing, Zero-G roll, and the corkscrew-they just feel wrong.

However, The first drop, loop, and Immelman along that trench had me consciously wondering "Whoa, Is this better than Raptor?"

My consciousness said "No, not at all" when we hit the zero-g roll.

Top Gun of course

I really cant say what one is better..Cause i have only been on talon.

I've only ridden Top Gun, and Talon looks like it wouldn't be bad, but I think Top Gun is better. It's not my favorite ever, but I really enjoyed the ride, minus the ending. That zero-g roll gets me everytime!

The Top Gun drop and Immelmen are hellawicked, but the rest lacks.

By layout alone I would vote TOP GUN. Since, I've never been on either one, I don't know what to tell you.

Zero-G, Hop, Corkscrew, and Helix are heavily ovverrated. I liked the 1st drop, Loop, Immelman(feel that airtime), and the Batwing with mist.

I haven't been on either, but by looks alone my vote goes to Top Gun.
