Rollercoaster Popularity

[Cove26flags]

I've always wondered out of all the coasters in the park, What order would they be listed in if your were to list them from most popular to least popular?

[Tip Top Club]

Raging Bull
Batman
Superman
American Eagle
Viper
Demon
Whizzer
V2
Cajun
Iron Wolf
Deja Vu
Spaceleys

I think that's right, and it fluctuates from year to year, plus there's two tracks of eagle so that's hard to include.

I really don't think they should be ordered one by one, but more in groups.

1. Superman, Raging Bull. These are the two star rides in the park. You will almost never see less then a 15 min wait for either of these two ride...though more Superman then Raging Bull.

2. V2, dejavu. Because they are gimmick coasters and have one train these two ride usually are the next coasters to get a line. Everyone talks about either of these two ride as being the scariest rides in the park. But they are not the most popular because they die down at night and are less crowded in the morning. And people will usually go on them once.

3. Viper, Batman. These ride usually have the lesser time of a wait but will get a line on some days. These two rides don't have a line in the morning or night. But in the middle of the day and into the evening, these two rides are the rides that everyone has to ride. So on weekends and even some weekdays they can get a line about 30 mins and up.

4. American Eagle, Whizzer. These two rides are classic rides and are rides that everyone must ride. They are also very family friendly so you will see then with a line almost all day but the line will almost never be over 20 mins plus...except on some busy weekends.

5. Demon, Iron Wolf. The two rides that most people ride because they don't have a line. But even though they are great rides, the GP still don't like them very much. Once people ride them, most people will say that they were too rough so they don't like to re-ride. Which usually leaves there line to be very short throughout the day.

6. Cajun, Spacelys. Most people will skip these coasters because they are seen as kiddie coasters. So these two ride don't usually have people lining up for hours to ride

^Wow..Clearly you've been to the park...what twice?

Cajun always has a line because of low capacity, the same goes for Deja Vu and V2, having a long line doesn't mean a ride is popular. The Lines move faster at rides like bull because of better capacity so you can't JUST measure popularity by lines.

Demon is always on the top five of the years turnstile clicks, there seems to be a prejudice for it in the coaster community, but many of hte GP know this ride as their first upside down coaster. So They ride it all the time. Even if there's a short line, this ride gets pretty good numbers.

Also batman is consistantly in the two or three spot as far as numbers go.

^I actually have been to the park at least 15-20 times a year in the past 5 years. And I have also been to the park at least 3 times each year from 1994-2002. So please don't say that I only have been there twice.

I only go on Saturdays and Sundays a few times in the year and I don't just base it on wait times. I base it on the number of people on average in the line on a typical weekday.
