Default "Wired" Magazine article (surprisingly LAME)
Gang--

Did anybody else catch this article on "Wired" magazine's website?

"The Coolest Coasters From Around the Globe"

http://www.wired.com/culture/lifest...e=1&slideView=9


I'm rather underwhelmed by their choices. Any thoughts?

Dragon Khan "offers plenty of spins and loops."

Well, this would have been cool . . . in the late 70s.

At first glance, I tended to agree with everyone - what? Then I
reconsidered the article's title: World's coolest. The picked the
fastest, oldest, first tubular, and probably the most scenic in Japan.
The article never said the rides were good or even great - just cool -
and in my opinion - they are. The covered most of the continents and
some unique rides. Not my favs by any extent - but I"ll go along with
"cool" - thanks for sharing the link.
