the crown of Epcot coasters
I mean, it better be since there aren't any other coasters in the park.

Yeah no, Universal has a coaster that enters that discussion, Sea World Adventure Parks own a few, but Disney does not.What what?!
I'm definitely not a coaster guy, not even close but I know coaster guys and what they want.. this ain't it
People want different things in coasters.What what?!

Mostly addressed this in my previous post, but a ride like Mako is a great example. I think Mako is an absolutely fantastic ride, but with Fury 325 a couple states over, I wouldn’t consider it best in the world.Yeah no, Universal has a coaster that enters that discussion, Sea World Adventure Parks own a few, but Disney does not.
I was thinking more of coasters at the Busch parks. As for best indoor coaster, the Nick Universe Loopers outclass Guardians anyday but I don’t get that pedantic, there are two coaster types steel and wood.Mostly addressed this in my previous post, but a ride like Mako is a great example.

It’s an elite B&M hypercoaster, so I could see a valid argument, but there’s strong competition in its category, so even if hypercoasters are your favorite category of coasters, if you rode every one of them in the world, I think you’d likely come out with a different favorite (though Mako is a strong contender).
Guardians, on the other hand, to me, just outclasses all coasters in its category by a significant margin. So if indoor coasters are your cup of tea, you could easily crown Guardians best in the world.
Yes, but it’s RNRC. More thrills generally trend towards more praise by the coaster community, but correlation does not equal causation. Rip-Ride at Universal is thrilling, but widely trashed on within the community.As a coaster, isn’t rock n rollercoaster more thrilling?
I think the difference between the Nickelodeon coasters (which I’ve heard shockingly high things from) and a ride like Space Mountain or Space Fantasy should be immediately obvious. The Nickelodeon coasters are more climate controlled (in my view) than indoor. The indoor aspect doesn’t really add anything.I was thinking more of coasters at the Busch parks.

Rip-Ride is a terrible coaster. Lol. RNRC is pretty good in my opinion.Yes, but it’s RNRC. More thrills generally trend towards more praise by the coaster community, but correlation does not equal causation. Rip-Ride at Universal is thrilling, but widely trashed on within the community.
I get deja vu when I ride either one.If we are only talking indoor coasters anyone ever ride Flight of Fear at kings dominion / island? Now THAT is an indoor coaster.
Space Mountain Paris says hi. Even as Hyperspace.Rip-Ride is a terrible coaster. Lol. RNRC is pretty good in my opinion.

Mate, BTM took 20 months. Splash 26 months. Let’s remember groundwork was underway on Tron in summer 2018 for comparison.I decided to pull out the Ol Wikipedia:
Shanghai Disneyland
construction on the castle begins June 29, 2013 - Shanghai opens June 16, 2016
A rough 3 year construction time for tron
Magic Kingdom
December 7 2018 tron construction begins - July 3rd 2022 tron is still under construction
This shouldn't have taken more than 2 years
Hey you do you. Coaster enthusiasts pretty much don’t argue over how others rank their coasters, but slicing and dicing them into dozens of categories is just too much for me. RMCs with steel I box tracks are steel coasters, those with wooden tracks are wooden coasters. I personally like just having 2 top ten lists, which for a lot of enthusiasts is 1 too many. But if you do slice and dice you need to qualify it. Guardians, while very fun, is not remotely as good as rides like Veliciocoaster, Millennium Force, Steel Vengeance, Fury 325, SROS NE, etc.I think the difference between the Nickelodeon coasters (which I’ve heard shockingly high things from) and a ride like Space Mountain or Space Fantasy should be immediately obvious.

As for there only be two types of coasters, I would have to disagree.
For one, there’s a huge difference between I-box steel track and tubular steel. Additionally, there are hybrid coasters, single-rail coasters, suspended, inverted, dive, hyper, spinning, floor less, launch, etc.
I’m not arguing to subdivide coaster rankings into dozens of different categories.Hey you do you.

Since we are getting into this discussion IMO people that believe Guardians is the best coaster probably don't visit other parks much or don't do big coasters. For me if it lacks high G forces it's just a fun coaster but not work a bunch of re-rides.I’m not arguing to subdivide coaster rankings into dozens of different categories.
What I’m saying is coasters come in many different styles and people gravitate and prefer those different styles. If you prefer one type of coaster over the others, the best of that coaster type could be the world’s best coaster to you.
Guardians could very reasonably be the best in the world in its specific style, and therefore, could be the overall best coaster in the world to a lot of people who prefer that style.
Thank-you for correcting what people like!!Since we are getting into this discussion IMO people that believe Guardians is the best coaster probably don't visit other parks much or don't do big coasters. For me if it lacks high G forces it's just a fun coaster but not work a bunch of re-rides.
You're welcomeThank-you for correcting what people like!!
Let me know when Guardians gets on a best coasters in the world list or even one in America. It’s not even in the top 5 in Orlando. Heck personally it’s not even the best indoor roller coaster in Orlando (The Mummy.). It is however the best roller coaster to ever been built in Epcot.I’m not arguing to subdivide coaster rankings into dozens of different categories.
