I'm pretty sure the speed would vary enough between days that you would both be correct.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Have any of you seen that Undercover Boss show? There was one episode where the Boss was owner of the company that owns Silver Dollar City. In the episode he works under a kid who is kind of a front gate guy and he was telling the boss that one day he hopes to be a amusement park ride designer and proceeded to show his this one awesome ride idea he had. He pulls out his laptop and shows the guy a ride in RCT that he had made, and was really bragging that it went underwater which is a really great idea because "it has never been done before". The boss guy ate it up.

RCT3 had a contest to win $100k, and the winner was a randomly thrown together track layout with two lift hills. The contest was limited to track only so it's not surprising that the judging was as dumb.

Edit: Added quotation for context.

It wasn't so much that he said anything but I was once behind a guy who took a dump in the line for Maverick.

In my 3 years at CP, I can think of a few...

"Am I gonna die?" -EVERY RIDE

Just came thru the turnstile at Wildcat:
"Excuse me! Does ride go upside down?"
I turned around and pointed... "1...2...3...4..."
She panicked and said "WAIT?! REALLY?!"
"NO!"

While leaving Blue Streak and walking underneath Raptors loop...
"This GREEN rollie coaster right thur, is that the BLUE Streak?"
I couldn't reply and pointed to BS...

One day at Blue Streak...
"Excuse me! Someone puked in my seat!"
I said "THEN WHY ARE YOU SITTING IN IT?!"
"I want to ride... Ewwwwwwwwww!"

Of course on Wicked Twister...
"Was it made to shake?"
And my personal favorite...
"It do wiggle?"

My favorite question while walking down the midway?????????
?????????Sir, what time does th2 10:00 light show start.?????????

Alright, speaking of Cedar Point....

Picture it,Cedar Point 2010,the queue for Cedar Creek Mine Ride. Some 5 year old kid goes up to his dad and says "Does this roller coaster do loop de loop?" I was near wetting myself.

THE YEAR BEFORE....

Picture it, Hershypark 2009, On line for Trailblazer. 2 kids are in line mabye 6 or 7. One of the kids points to Storm Runner, and says "I heard that red roller coaster goes a million miles per hour! and a kajillion feet high!!!!!" the other kid goes "Thats nothing! FARENHIGHT goes a million INFINITY miles per hour!!!" And again, I was pissing myself laughing.

Waiting in the line for Blue Fire,Two kiddos:
First waist of matter:How does that shot work(launch,you dumbass!)?
Second waist of matter:With rubberbands!
Me:They stick a bar of metal in everybodys ass and pull them with horses!Thats how the launch works!

Similar happend while waiting for Desert Race,this time a adult.
He "explains" the launch tech to his GF(charming as the butt with ears):
He:Do you see those pieces of metal on the track?
She:Yes.
He:They accelerate the coaster.Like a magnetic railway.
Me:No.These metal pieces are brakes,if a rollback happens(I explain a rollback).The launch works with a hydraulic system(explain him a hydraulic launch system).
He:STFU,you little n00b,you don't know something about coasters.I don't believe that,such a system doesn't exsist.
The brake fins are lowerd for the launch.
He:OMG!The coaster is broken!I'll not ride such a deadly coaster!
Me*facepalm.

Or while waiting for Blue Fire,again a kid:
He:Look,it has 4 loopings!
Me:No.First of it has one loop,second thats called a inversion.
He:But look on this!(shows me a booklet about BF),it says 4 loopings.
Me:They don't explain it right,BTW are so dumb to belive this marketing poop?
He:No!It has 4 loopings!
Me:(Points on the heartline roll)Is that a loop?Has it a circle form?
He:...Yes!
Me*facepalm
He:I'm pretty sure this booklet is smarter than you and if it is a lie,why should they print it?Go away you liar!
Me:God,buy a brain in the souvenir shop or GTFO!

Srsly,launch coasters are a breedplace for the n00b scum of humanity.
