Question 1

How did you decide which roller coasters to include on your list?

Accepted Answer

I only included roller coasters that were manufactured by a professional company and that were at a fixed location - like an amusement park.  For example, smaller rides at state fairs or carnivals that move from one location to the next (but could still be considered a type of coaster) were not included on the website.  I also included mountain coasters.  If you think we forgot to include a roller coaster, please let us know at showmecoasters24@gmail.com.

Question 2

Did you ride every roller coaster that you reviewed?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  I rode every coaster in the State of Missouri at least once.  I did not rate or review the roller coasters until I rode almost all of them in order to set the bar for how I ranked them.

Question 3

How long did it take you to ride every roller coaster in Missouri?

Accepted Answer

It took me about three summers to visit all of the roller coasters.  In order to ride every coaster in Missouri, you would need to travel to Kansas City, Eureka (St. Louis), Branson, and Osage Beach.

Question 4

What is the top ranked roller coaster in Missouri?

Accepted Answer

I believe the best roller coaster in the State of Missouri is Outlaw Run, located at Silver Dollar City.  You could also make a good argument for Time Traveler or Powder Keg (also at Silver Dollar City), depending on what you like in a roller coaster.   Rounding out the Top 5 would be Mamba (Worlds of Fun), and Mr. Freeze (Six Flags St. Louis).
