TOC2 Round 1: Mid-Scale Inverted Coasters
Round 1 of the Green Bracket starts off with a contest between the medium-scale inverted coasters, as Universal's Islands of Adventure puts Fire Dragon (Fire side ONLY) against Cedar Point's Raptor and HersheyPark's Great Bear.
Vote for your FAVORITE coaster of the three, and the two highest polling rides will advance to Round 2!

Cool to see Fire and Ice listed seperatly. I never liked Ice, just not dynamic enough for me, however, Fire is one of my all time favorite coasters.
I voted Fire. It is a really intense coaster, the kind of coaster I just want to keep riding again and again.
Absolutely Fire Dragon - my favorite steel coaster. I like Great Bear a lot but it's nowhere near the same league. Raptor is useless.

I've always thought that Raptor was one of the most popular inverted coasters. Personally I don't find anything special about it and its good to see Fire and Bear winning this.
I went for Fire Dragon on this one. Raptor was exceptionally mediocre in my book, and Great Bear looks like fun - but nothing compared to Dragon.

I went with Dueling Dragons Fire; that is one coaster I am dying to ride. I really liked Raptor, but Fire looks a lot better, and Great Bear, from what I've seen, doesn't really do much.

Fire hands down, not close. Ice is better than all but fire also.
My vote went to Great Bear for what a unique layout it has. I really appreciate that where most B&Ms tend to start to blur together. Great Bear has really broken in well over the years, and has become quite the intense little ride.
I like Fire Dragon, though I don't get the hype people give it. I agree with Jeff's sentiment about Raptor being useless. I'd like to see Great Bear and Fire Dragon advance on this one.
I agree with Chris on this one, People tend to skim over it and it is a lot more fun than it would appear. There are some great elements in the ride and the way it sweeps past The Comet in that sweet Immelmann Loop. It's a great ride!
