I'd bet that it took all of your brain power to squeeze that out. Go back to fourth grade and report to the rest of the world when you have matured.

I think flats are essential in a park. I didn't realize this untill I was at BGT. They have 2 flats in the enitre park (Phoenix and Sandstorm), other than the kiddie rides, or train and skyride. Otherwise, it's like you're just doing coaster after coaster. You need a break after a while.

Ragin' Cajun is a family coaster. Whizzer is a family coaster. SSR is a kiddie coaster, not a family coaster.

I always though they had a lot of flats. I hope to go there someday.

I don't know if i would consider Ragin' Cajun a true family coaster because of the amount of lateral Gs pulled on the hairpin turns. I wouldn't call it a big coaster, but i don't know about family. I agree with you on the other two though.

^ I think RC is considered a family coaster becuase in WDW it is and that one is the same layout.

What do you guys think are some rides that you would compare to coasters? I would say Giant Drop, King Chaos, and Daredevil Dive can be compared to a coaster.

^ lol. The bad thing about that ride is that no one really cares for it, but it takes up such little space that if they did scrap it, they probably couldn't fit anything in there.
