Really like the Muppets coaster, it gets my vote!

The past 2 rounds, the audience has followed with my personal opinions. I would have fired the people anyways that TPI gave the lowest votes to. However, this week is going to be very tough to eliminate someone. I might not follow along with the poll, but we will see!

LOL Nick! I gotta admit, I too had thought of an Iron Man coaster, yet again great minds thinking alike. I love your idea for one. I just really would love to see DHS have an Indiana Jones ride.

Ok, Im not going to go into detail about the whole ride, use your imagination but take Amanda's idea of the chase coaster and apply it to the movie "The Goonies". Why is there not a Goonies ride (yes I know the movie is outdated)but just imagine the options they could do with this ride. The line could start in the run down resturant, encounters with falling rocks, sloth, one eyed willie, and a unreal ending in open area with the giant pirate ship which could also be a kids water play area equiped with water cannons and effects. Also in the large ship area can be a enclosed water slide that has a fall at the end into the wave pool area where the ship sits. I Think it could be made into a whole theme park like Harry Potter. Oh and who would not love to hear that epic fratteli chase song playing while zipping around on the coaster. And if I had to choose a place to put the coaster it would be in adventureland LI NY cause its walking distance from my house and they could have a extra train that links to my backyard (its my ride and I will do whatever I like thank you).
