I was going to reference Cedar Point myself. They even have their own extremely marketable height taxonomy: mega, giga.... just perfect for your day-at-the-park-t-shirt-souvenir. I think The Millenium Force, for me, was the point when I realized that the capitalist value system had truly infiltrated and asphyxiated my amusement park fun. Fuck tallest and fastest. I'll take the creaky-grey-wood-holy-shit-that-steel-beam-almost-decapitated-me-hive-five-the-blue-car-across-the-track-sexy-curve of the Gemini any day of the week. (well maybe not Saturday because the lines suck.)
