I haven't enjoyed the pleasure of Ratler (yet) but I'd hate to waste a vote, so on the principal that a womans intuition is invariably wrong... Lisa you can take my vote on proxy for Ratler. _________________ Rowan S.

I've not voted, since I've not ridden the R*ttler.  But Mean Streak was mean enough for me. It wasn't too bad at the front of the train (although the fact it started raining as I left the station wasn't good) They wanted me to go round again after my second go - in the middle of the train, but I was yelling to be let off, since it felt like it was trying to shake itself to pieces!!!!!

It is like being hit on the head lessons Exactly. Being shook around is all part of the fun, but when it feels like your in a boxing ring and losing then it's not fun and probably none to good for you. A few of the 'rough' woodies on the US trip were much improved and quite smooth if you sat in the middle row of a 6-seater car, but over the wheels was another story. _________________ Steve Member of 'non rollback' Stratacoaster club 06/08.

You've reawakened the Rattler debate. I see Meen Streek has a big lead. I think that is mainly due to the fact most people avoid.. inflicting grevious bodily harm to themselves by riding a particular BOS located in Texas!
