I don't know. It'll be between Tatsu and El Torro. I need to wait until they reveal Tatsu to really say.

I'd say El Toro will have a pretty big effect, and since we don't have a pre-fab track Intamin woodie here yet, I'm happy we're getting one, and a very big one at that. If you live anywhere in a 300 mile radius of SFGAdv, you got to be jumping for joy. If CP had followed Dragster with an Intamin woodie, you better believe I'd be excited.

But Goliath East looks savory, and think it just might have a shot at top B&M hyper in the world, it is without a mid course safety brake, this thing will keep speed until the final brakes. Though with so many devoted Apollo fans, this coaster might just meet a wall of skepticism.

Tatsu? That's going to be forgotten and ignored like a Scream! in an L.A. parking lot.

I'll also wait on SFMM's announcement to vote. It will be between El Toro & Tatsu though.

^La Ronde's hyper should be added to the list. But, just like Tatsu, we will have to wait before the full annoucment comes to decide which of these 4 coasters is better.

^Why not add La Ronde's hyper to your poll? It wouldn't hurt anything.

El Toro...Unique in the U.S., and second tallest wooden coaster drop in the U.S.

Hm-m, well I'll answer the question as if you said, "Which of these are you [I][B]most excited [/B][/I]about." I tend to think that there's not a best, cuz they're all so different. ...Apples vs Oranges. ...Doesn't work.

I voted for Goliath. I know what you're thinkin'... "[I]It's just cuz it'll be in YOUR home park[/I]!!" Here are a few reasons (not to say they're GOOD reasons...):

1. I've yet to ride a B&M Hyper, and so excited about it!

2. Flyers aren't my favorite. That puts out Tatsu. After the novelty of the "flying position" wears off, it's really a bore. Hopefully B&M has been able to spice up the flyer idea.

3. I honestly don't see El Toro beating out Thunderhead (in [I][B]my[/B][/I] top #10 woodies). What I like in a woodie is exemplified in Thunderhead, in its entirety.

There. Probably not the best reasons, but that's what I got right now.

Of the [b]two[/b] coasters that we know anything about (Goliath and El Toro), I think they both look great. I think Goliath is getting overlooked a little bit since in some people's mind, it didn't live up to people's expectations. So I'd say it could be a toss up between those two.

I'll wait to see what Tatsu even looks like to judge it since if it's something special and great, it could rank higher for me. I've been hoping for something awesome in a flyer that we haven't seen yet. The US B&M flyers have veen such a let down so far in my opinion.

The thread does seem premature then. We have to see the La Ronde and Tatsu cards.

It'll be announced this wednesday and it's rumoured to be a B & M around 175 feet tall with a 200 feet drop.

I'm going to have to go with El Toro. Goliath looks OK, but doesn't have any headchoppers or awesome overbanked turns, like SFMM's Goliath. Also, because we don't see much of Tatsu or the La Ronde hyper, i can't vote for them without being prejudiced to parks.

Does anyone know how to add quotes to your message after you post it and without double posting

^None of the B & M have any headchoppers, or very little. It will have way more airtime than SFMM Goliath.
