TOC2 Round 2: From the Wild West to Outer Space

[Chris]

Today's match-up from the blue bracket ventures from the wild west all the way to outer space! Both Florida coasters have made it through to this round, as did two new contenders from elsewhere in the United States!

Keep in mind that this is not a team battle; it's every man for himself! Magic Kingdom's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad takes on Six Flags Fiesta Texas' Road Runner Express, Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain and Disneyland's Spoace Mountain.

Remember to vote for your FAVORITE coaster of the four, and the top three scoring rides will advance to Round 3!

Definitiely going with Disneyland's Space Mountain! It's truly one of the only roller coasters out there that I'd describe with the word "epic." Proof positive that size, speed and loops mean nothing in building one of the best coasters in the world - this one is easily in my top ten of well over 700 different roller coasters.

gotta go with disneylands space mountain. Plain and simple this ride is one of the best proving size doesn't matter. It's what is put in the ride is what makes it what it is. People don't realize that loops and giant dips aren't needed to make a good coaster.

Without a doubt DLSM. Can't beat it. You can try all you want but you can't beat it.

I voted for BTMRR. I understand that the DL version of Space Mountain is superior to the Florida one, even after the rehab on the florida one. But out of all these I feel that BTMRR is the best. ANyone can ride it, it's not too fast or too thrilling. It's just right for a family coaster, which is what these 4 all really are. I get Space Montain but for me it's over too quick and it's just a plain coaster in the dark. BTMRR is a totally themed, highly detailed attraction from beginning to end.

I love the runaway train aspect of Big Thunder Mountain and its theming puts it over the top for me.

Definitely Disneyland SM. Looks like a really good coaster, fast, smooth and dark. BTR is really close for me, because its just really fun.

What are some of the differences between both verions of Space Mountain.

Space Mountain at Disneyland. I honestly don't feel the need to explain this one. It's just the best.

I went with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I have never been a big Space Mountain fan, and I really enjoy the excellent theming of Big Thunder.
